I own a c63s and of all the reviews I've seen of this car, this one is by far the best in terms of capturing the essence of what this car is all about: beauty and brawn.
Usually we get the cars direct from the manufacturer and not from dealerships. Sandown very kind helping us out to get a couple of cars at short notice to get a few videos out faster.
What are the gear changes like in manual mode with this car? The last c63 seemed to have a reasonable delay between pressing the paddle and the car actually changing gear. Just interested to know.
I would say it has so much power in virtually every gear that you don't have to worry hugely about that. its not as fast as the best dcts but is really smooth which is great
I love the sound, and I love the performance from what I've heard, but I'm just struggling to love the look. I know some people like the sleeper kind of look, but I want a car that sounds like that to look like the old W204. I loved how angry it looked. This one just doesn't have the angry look to match it's shout. It's a little sad.
TheOrgano that's a very good point. unfortunately I think the look is too subtle too. it can be pimped up with the black alloys and night pack but still it lacks a bit of menace. the coupe looks amazing in comparison at least. but yes, slightly disappointing on the saloon
who on earth can afford these things? im trying to save for a house but feel like buying one of these instead. Its sad but the reality is that many of us may never come close to being able to afford the cars we like.
Kamil Pekenti lol great man I bet you are enjoying it. Yeah I'd go for the house first (in London may i add..). the only worry I have is that once I've got a house, It'll take me a lifetime to save for a car that'll depreciate the second I take it out of the showroom. then comes the lease vs buying debate... but you're right, you never know which way your future will go. I might make it big one day lol
Kamil Pekenti great advice man. happy for you. and you're right, life is short I've heard that cars are just cars at the end of the day from people who own high end stuff here too it's just to realise that you have to had experienced it is guess lol. having grown up a little from being a boy racer I realise that money on cars is just money down the drain from a financial point of view. I'll do the house first and if I've got some cash left over I'll get the car. I just don't know what I'd go for, the m6 or this xD
aibel99 a house is waaaay more expensive than one of these, it’s about sacrifice my freind, think about what you want more cos u can’t have everything in life

+Geogieporgie Glad you liked the video! It is an awesome car.
please make a video because there aree like no owner videos of the c63s on youtube at all
Brilliant review, you re a natural! Keeping the viewers engaged with important information whilst getting to the point, well done!
Thank you!
Superb review. Please review the Coupé, I'm interested in getting that model.
+Daniel Sadjadian We will look into getting the coupe for you.
Thanks :)
We have finally reviewed the coupe. Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/3csSNixp9Es/v-deo.html
Great film by the way
Great car, had very similar thoughts when I reviewed it. Love the Inside Line production value, something I look to aspire to
Me and my mate love that car park at 6:05, it's always dead. Perfect spot for reverse donuts 😄
Awesome review! Nice to see Sandown Poole featured ;) What's the chance of borrowing the new R8 from Poole Audi for a review? Would love to see that!

excellent review
What are the gear changes like in manual mode with this car? The last c63 seemed to have a reasonable delay between pressing the paddle and the car actually changing gear. Just interested to know.
+Chris Boyd Yeah, it did. This new car has a totally different gearbox and it is much better.
I would say it has so much power in virtually every gear that you don't have to worry hugely about that. its not as fast as the best dcts but is really smooth which is great

Andy P To me it just looks like any other C class. Some might like that sleeper look, but not me. I want a bit of theater from my AMGs
TheOrgano yep that's a definite weak point. what is your view on the estate
Andy P not keen on estates, myself. But again, just looks like a c class.whigh is a shame
Dream car right here!
Completely craps on the M4/M3 noise
+Ian Townsend It is amazing what AMG have achieved with the sound despite turbocharging.
100% and i own an M2 competition... The merc AMG noise from these 4.0 are amazing.
You didn't mention if they had rectified the gear change as the old one had a delay.
Got to ask dude you on the south coast? I recognise the roads and a couple houses 😂
i think you said the wrong NM torque figure. You mentioned 487 but i thought it was around 650 ????
awsome car but i m waiting for the coupe version
+Hugo Gonçalves Same! Would you like us to road test that at some point next year?
+Inside Lane YES!!!! what kind of question is this?? jaja
Haha! Just want to make sure there is the demand for it before dedicating a day to shooting with it. I'll find out more on release dates.
Awesome review and car, the c63 is a German muscle car..."Yeshua / Jesus is the way "
How's it compare to the Lexus rc f?
Is that sandown mercedes in poole?
You’re so local to me! I live right by bolderwood
Nice I want two Please
Selling my one soon. Interior looks too similar like a c300 no more mercs for me next car is a rs6 performance c7
I will openly claim that New York City has the worst and awful roads of all. And it pains me to drive my C63S in here =(
The drive isn’t nice when the road is bumpy
We have just road tested the new C63 Coupe: ua-cam.com/video/3csSNixp9Es/v-deo.html

Sadly that is true. However, the world is a better place for them existing, certainly a more interesting place anyway.
Inside Lane i agree. I get happy seeing them on the road. saw one being naughty on the a406 the other day.

Love this car. Would be much better with a proper dual clutch tranny
To be honest I didn't find myself missing a DCT. The transmission is effortlessly smooth but still bangs straight into gears when you're on it.
