C63 AMG.

[Mk5 GTian]

I love the coupe version. Much better looking and sounding than the M3. I've not driven both though, so which one I'd prefer (If I could afford either!) would come down to which was the best to drive.

Has anyone here driven both? (Coupe I mean, not saloon or wagon).

Merc have fixed price and I looked into the costs when I was going to purchase,  your be surprised how much brakes etc are, shocked me anyway,  Merc are nothing like bmw where they shaft people for having the badge, the fuel does that for you

Great car, my mate has one.

Only issue is that he says its impossible to control in the wet, especially accelerating!!

That's why a sorted Ed30 will keep on one of these cars tails on the motorway, as the Merc owner can't push it too much harder in fear on loosing control of it

awesome sound,just like a war time bomber

We had one in for a little while at work.  Great engine and noise, but under 15mpg whenever i drove it, and when you weren't giving it beans, it felt just like a standard C class, nothing felt special about it, not like my RS4 or 911. I felt similarity underwhelmed with the C6 RS6.

Just my tuppence.....

Sure you weren't driving a normal C class?  The 63 is on a completely different Planet too RS4 and 911, there insanely fun to drive

I'd say you were scared to drive it cus clarkson makes it look special for sure

im very tempted by 1 of these at the min, i wouldnt do much mileage so fuel wouldnt hit too hard and i can get servicing done a for very reasonable price.
and the noise i suppose is 1 of the main reasons 

Just have to decide wether or not to part with the Rs as its got low miles and id be going for a 4yo C63 with 40k ish on and my maintenance bills might go up

Ummmmm, let me see, Yes 100% sure.  Its not a drivers car in my view, just a great lump of a fantastic engine in a saloon, that is all.  Ever driven a C6 RS6?  You'll know what I mean, very fast, but nothing to it, just point and squirt.  Whereas the RS4 and 911, just felt so much more special in every way, the whole experience was good whether just popping to te shops or going for a hoon.

Its lucky we are all different.......Whats your favourite car and why? - I suspect we like different cars for different reasons.

Oh dear........have you driven one yourself.  Please don't use Clarkson to describe a car, the guy can only go sideways, which is what this car is bloody good at.  Clarkson left the team of good motoring journalists a long time ago......

I appreciate what it is, but it just doesn't do it for me in the way other cars do/have.  It might have a load more power than my old RS4 or 911, but its not all about power.........hence why I have a load of fun in my wife's 300bhp GTi at the moment!

Power is nothing without control......

That makes me want an M3

You can lease a C63 AMG on PCH for around £600 pcm.  

Oof. Even less actually. Try costing the price on one on PCP, i think it would cost double.
