The interior is like a mini S class, the updated display is to die for and the motor is an iconic beast for the ages. I adore mine. With a tune, full exhaust and cat delete, it actually sounds like the old 6. 2. But pulls frighteningly hard in every gear until redline. The tune woke this monster up and the pipes let her breathe. The soundtrack is alarming after the aforementioned. It-s a blast to drive and with near 700hp to the rear wheels, corvette and Porsche owners better get some bandaids for that butthurt.

Yesterday i have raced my M4 with mild ecu tune (500hp, 780nm) against 991. 2 turbo S and BMW 1000rr. I swear there was not a huge difference between those cars from a roll. Also motorbike was still in our reach. Recorded trap speeds: 297(motorbike), 282 porsche, 272 BMW. Take that mercedes fans, BMW almost in supercar league after some chip for 200euros.

C'mone MB/AMG, would it kill you to add at least 25hp while you're at it! Well at least it looks better now than prev model! That one looked like a normal C class strapped with AMG package, this one looks more AMG than ever, specially when the front looks like the new CLS.

Best in class engine and second best interior. Seriously though, I-d take the weight and exterior of the M3, the handling of the Quadrifolio, the interior of an RS4 and the engine of this C63 and holy god damn what a car that would be (my opinion)

I suspect what sells most AMGs are their glorious engine sounds and overall theater sense. Grown up people care about on the road sensations, not lap times.
It certainly did the trick with me.

Sorry, first frame, looks like a clone of a Three series, you can-t deny it, in silhouette other than a Merc badge on the front you-d swear on a quick glance it-s a three series!

Car and Driver got 3. 7 0-60 (not 4. 0) and got 11. 9 in the 1/4 out of it.
The 9 speed gearbox is much better and the suspension tweaks are great too, I own one.

The Merc's big appeal is that it has far more character than all its rivals. That's why it's been such a favorite among hooligans for the past decade.

For heavens sake, please get your facts straight. The pre facelift W205 DID NOT have a torque converter. It was 7 speed MCT with a wet startup clutch.

Great review. And I share your reasons for loving the car and wanting one over an Alfa or M3. More fun. Plus looks a million times better than an M3.
