Had my c63 for just under two weeks now and I absolutely love it. Mine has the performance pack, which I preferred to drive over the standard model (and it includes the essential LSD). Great brakes, great steering but the suspension is quite stiff. It's the engine that seals the deal though, it's immense. But thirsty, of course. And the fuel tank is quite small, but those are issues any evo driver should be used to!

The only aspect of the c63 I wasn't sure I could live with was the auto box, but its fine. It's not as responsive as say, the m3 dct but it's good enough in manual mode to have some fun, and is much smoother in auto mode. The e92 m3 was on my shortlist too, but whilst it's a sharper/more responsive drive when you're driving at 9/10ths, the amg is better the rest of the time (IMO). It just feels more of an 'event' to drive, I'm happy to just pootle around with the windows down and listen to the glorious v8

I still cant decide between a GTR and the C63!!
Has anybody got any idea of servicing costs and schedules on the C63?

Barrington · 03-05-2012, 00:14

It finally stopped raining long enough to take some pics of mine (it's slashed it down every day since I picked it up

) so thought I'd add a few here.

sweet · 03-05-2012, 00:45

Do you have any idea re servicing costd etc? What year is it mate? and is the juice as bad as they say?
