I just found your channel and I'd like to say thank you for making honest and transparent vids. I own a 2017 c63s coupe but I bought mine used so I didn't lose too much on depreciation yet. So far I haven't had any problems with it. The rock chips and noises sound a lot like stuff happening because of where you live and what the roads are like in that area. I haven't had any suspension or transmission issues. I used to work at a dealership as a tech and I can tell you that if you're having the sensor issues it can be because of your wrap, dirty sensors, corroded wires and connections from the effects of road salt, or low battery voltage. The suspension noise you were talking about often comes from bushings that are failing, not the shock itself. the harsh shifting on the transmission is just how the gearbox is and has to do a lot with the way the computer shifts/rev matches the motor at certain RPMs and in certain modes. Hope the rest of your ownership is more trouble free.
Hey bro, buying a 2017 c63s soon and I was wondering how bad is the fuel consumption? I know its a v8 obv so it takes good amount of fuel but just driving in city around 60km/h on comfort does it take a lot of fuel? Thanks
The last true C63 we'll ever see, from now on it's going to be a 2L and that's just plain sad, I mean, the fact that it literally has a V8 is more than 50% of the reasons to buy it.
Thanks for this video, truly a great review without any negative personalities like most young AMG owners. Getting mine delivered in a week, cannot wait!!!! And for the clunky gearbox, I had the same problem from my CLA45, it feels like brakes were stomped while driving when you lift of the pedal right after from 1st to 2nd gear
Thanks man, glad you like it! Congrats on your C63! You will love it :) and yeah its part of the single clutch transmission but sometimes it adds character hahaha
Regarding the clunky gearbox, I have the new shape e63s amg, the more "luxury" version of the c63s amg, and from 2nd to 3rd the gearbox is quite clunky, its just the nature of the gearbox.
The 2019 face lift european speac has a new 9G Tronic box that's why I'm waiting till next year to buy a sedan version plus it will be a lot cheaper but keep up the go uploads!
i just got a 2023 c43. I've noticed in comfort it can be jerky. However, I feel like it's getting slightly better the more I drive it. I also feel like its a lot smoother shifts with the paddles.
I own one, if you drive it daily for 20-30+ miles, you will spend about $500 per month on gas alone unless all highway miles. This thing drinks gas like you would NOT believe, but that's when you're putting your foot down a bit harder than legally allowed...
I am currently driving the CLA 45 S AMG and i am currently thinking about switching to the C63s Facelift. Would you recommend it? You drove both cars and you know the pros and cons so an advice would be greatly appreciated.
Wow for a 100 grand motor that's pretty sad..I was toying with the idea of getting a C63S or a Lexus LC500....after extensive reviews of both I think the not so powerful and performance orientated Lexus will get the nod...Thank you for the extremely honest review 👏👏
My c63 also makes annoying noises from the back of the car. I’m wondering if it could be the same as yours. Did it sound like something could have been loose cause mine makes like a ping noise almost and I can hear it every time I’m on a rougher road.

I call them BS repairs.Everytime you take that car to the MB dealership--they will find 700 to 1000 dollars worth of stuff wrong.Electronic glitches--and avoid the turbo models.If you get a turbo--use premium and get oil changes every 3k.I have a neighbor with one and he loves it "when it runs"--sadly it is a money pit--they are great cars when they run right--problem is they were designed in germany where it is cool and you can get on an autobahn and run them--which is what they were built for.You tool around in the US--and our hot summers--plays havoc on these cars--oil gets ruined quicker--all sorts of glitches.Repairs for the AMG can not only be expensive--but can spend weeks at th dealership--and MB will offer courtesy cars--when they have them--usually they are all gone.
BTW look at where rental cars put themselves--next to audi--MB--and BMW dealerships--cause not only do they figure they got money--but they wiill need a rental when their car is in the shop.In fact I am renting a car this week and it is in the same parking lot as audi.You don't see car rental places at honda or Toyota--and I was told this little nugget by a service tech--and if you loo around it is true--most rental car places are near german car dealerships--and the rentals only use german cars in like 5% of their fleet.
@@zkramez nice I'm a BMW hater but the the m3 is nice and it's available in stick which is rare now a days congratulations it's a great car. Did you get it in stick? Or auto. Also I once owned a 335i and it cost me more to repair it than the car costed that's a small part of where my BMW hate comes from haha they make great cars tho
I found this car for sale. Only 14291 miles on the odometer. Should I buy it? I’ve never bought a car before this is my first car I want a car that I will keep my whole life.
John Vizzini is it a daily or a weekend car? I drive my car as much as I can so I don’t waste the warranty. Gotta drive it to see if there’s anything wrong with it. You and I have the last of the loud crackling C63S before the whack emissions regulations!
Thats good! Not everyone experiences them, just outlined some usual ones but some cars are bulletproof. Id say the rock chips is an issue because of how low the car is, but PPF fixes that!

Thanks for the video and response! I experienced some rattles by the sunroof too, MB service lubricated the sunroof area and it fixed the rattles, maybe that could help. What car are you looking to get next?
I had a c63 4door last year. The rattles and creaking is really! Specially going through pot holes. Sometimes it’s so bad that I feel the car is falling apart. Then i replace the car with a amg gts. This time it also creaks a bit, but a lot better than the c63. I guess Mercedes all have this problem. I have drove the 911 for couple of times, that car never rattles, and considerably it’s a early version.
Yeah the 911 is well put together because Porsche might be the top German car brand in my opinion. The rattling gets annoying and mercedes just says ‘oh well’ so I may have to go a different route. I just love AMGs though haha

Pal you are a natural. At ease and confident communicator. I enjoy and have subscribed to your channel. But. Yopu Mercedes lovers are machocist. If my ct5 cadillac had the problems that you've had... wow. I would be having a fit. . Anyway thank you for the insight.
How thick is your wrap? Mine is like 2.5mm and that was the 1st thing I worried about when wrapping the sensors but so far so good. Remember it’s single clutch and will give some shifts some harsh jolts but I like it gives it character or thinking you hove bunch load of torque lol. My only main concern was alignment issue since day one(17) model. So far 11k miles and ready to upgrade tires and try to have alignment looked again. It hurt when you mention these things knowing the price on the car but do what I do now and tell yourself hey I got this car instead of the upcoming one with a 4cyl w/hybrid.
Im not sure on thickness to be honest but yeah I like the character of the transmission, sometimes it gets annoying but most of the time it feels really good when flooring it. But yep I hate that they are changing to a 4cyl! Im talking about that in my next video
@@KGCA2 a coupe today is around $55k+ depending on where you live/mileage/and options. When this guy bought his car new it was probably around $83-90k depending on his options. Just because the car has depreciates doesn't mean he didn't pay close to a $100k when he bought the car, and today buying a new c63s will cost you close to a $100k. Now if it's wise to buy a German car brand new is another story.
Did you ever get steering wheel vibrations ? not large just small jittering. Took it to the dealer several times had all brake rotors pads replaced and rims checked tires checked. They say its "normal" but 50k (when new) for a shaky steering wheel bothers me.. 17' E Class. Looking to upgrade to a c63 or a CTSV soon, whichever one has no shaky steering wheel lol.
Get the car to 100k miles and do another review :) really like the transparency you have in regards to the car!
Thanks and will do, if I can manage to keep it as long as I can!
Mine is almost at 100k still seems to be pretty good. Still drives like new
@@alecw4646had any issues with it along the way in terms of services, tires etc? Currently at 71k miles just want to know what may lie ahead :)

He drives like a grandma thats why the transmission feels clunky it does a clunky job at low speed shifts and economy driving

Yeap..but all of them 500hp plus cars are the same..try an na 500hp to see 1000 a month
Hey bro I’ve recently bought a 17 coupe 63s , would you consider the car to have a lot of road noise ?
Love your videos bro. Thankyou for providing them
Glad you like them!
Sport plus is harsher shifting,it's designed to be driven at higher rpm,not going slow like you are,drive in normal and it will be fine
you mean $40k interior? that noise is normal for a 40k car

hey Bakalli, how did you get a black license plate in PA. Looks dope. Thanks
How are the people with the newer 9 speed trans liking it compared to the 7 speed?
Great video , 👍 very helpful insight

I'm in the market for a C63S or.... an F80. Seems like the M3 might be more reliable?
I think the M3 will be cheaper to run
M3 will most definitely be more expensive to run a 335i is more expensive to run than the amg

Try replacing your auxiliary batter , this was the issue on my 2013 c350 and it’s assist features being inoperative
Ill give it a try! Thanks!

Gas is not a issue lol take that off
Talk about if you had engine or transmission suspension issues big ones
I agree gas would not be an "issue" i referred to it as a "complaint" in the comments on his last video.
You said zero about maintenance costs.
lol its a v8 its not supposed to be good on gas it supposed to go fast. but other then the suspension problem the car seems well built.
plastic 'thingy' on the steering column, proper engineer's report.
18mpg for a v8 seems fair
What is that wrap color? Its so sexy
I wouldn’t call those real issues to be honest and most to do with any car wear and tear.
Transmission clunky ? What are you talking about. Very smooth transmission but sometimes changing the codes can solve gear change time.
I went over it in the video lol but like I said, not all people might experience it
Inoperative lane assist is a BLESSING. I hate these dumb driver aids. I think they made for idiots.
Its not 100k car. Its around 50k
