First impressions - there were a few things I was looking out for in particular - the ride quality, steering feel, and noise.
Ride Quality: I know a lot of people have complained about the harsh ride quality. For me personally, and coming from two M cars which I felt had harsh rides, this car feels firm but not harsh at all. So far I have driven it in Comfort and Sport - and there is not much difference between the two - the car takes bumps well, and there is no bottoming out as there was with my M3 and M4. Right now I have the stock Michelin's on which are super stiff, so I expect ride to soften when new rubber goes on later today. Overall, I am quite pleased with the ride quality, and can live with it on a daily basis with no issues.
Steering Feel: well weighted, direct - but not precise like my Cayman, and you do feel the weight of the car in turns. But can't complain with a car that weighs this much. Also, my tires are not ideal for these temps - so can't say this is all for certain.
Noise: So far, this car feels a lot quieter than the W205 C63 S Coupe I had for a day a month ago. With the C63 - there was a constant rumble. With this car - even though I haven't been able to open up the throttle and release its full potential - driving along casually you barely notice the V8 exhaust note. All 3 of my last cars were loud - M cars had modded exhausts, and the Cayman's factory PSE was proper loud, and so this will be bit of an adjustment for me. But being a big sedan which will carry other passengers - I am fine with this. Time to mature up.

My parents E53 sedan arrived at the stealer on Wed. and they picked her up today.
They’re happy to finally have taken delivery of the vehicle. It was produced the last decade of July. Their prior ‘15 E63 lease matured at the end of Sept. so they’ve been rolling with one car ever since waiting for the E53 to be released.
Will be taking it for a spin shortly.......

You can easily get this done - go see Rick at Precision Rim or Vlad at Eurocharged (both in North York). Mention my name - 2019 E63 Sukh - they will take care of you.
