Autobild C63 Test

The Artist · 09-19-2007, 06:29 PM

Okay we need some translation

from the crappy babelfish i found out that they said something about the new gearbox wich should be coming..

This is what babelfish says :

Strengths: Achievement fullly, torque enormously, brake sovereign, handling agil and surely

Weaknesses: Lack of comfort, high consumption, expensive maintenance costs

This must be the first time for MB lacking comfort.. AND I LIKE IT

PS
This is very interesting

Price : 67,235 euro

Competition: BMW M3, 420 HP, starting from 66.650 €; AUDI RS4, 420 HP, starting from 71.700 €

Just look at this thing!

Wow, it seems more than one review has commented on the poor ride quality of the C63. Well, this is the price you pay if you want to compete with the M3 where tests are being done and judgement made based on handling on a track. As long as the C63 gets +ve reviews in relation to the M3, then this will be a HUGE marketing win for MB to finally change people's perception about the "sportiness" of this C-AMG car.

If memory serves correct, the C63 does NOT have adjustable suspension like the M3 does (as an option). Also, I don't know whether the comments about poor ride quality refers to the standard C63 car or the one with the performance package which has stiffer suspension.

Is till think i prefer the look of the E63 AMG.... but as a total package... def the C63

Mercedes and a lack of comfort, not really acceptable IMO. I'm betting that by the time it arrives here in the U.S. it won't ride as stiff.

The comfort seems "ok" for the regular C63 AMG. I found this passage interesting:

Seine Zielgruppe sind engagierte Fahrer, die den Grenzbereich nicht nur vom Hörensagen kennen. Wer es gern noch einen Hauch härter mag, kann sich ein strafferes Sportfahrwerk mit 19-Zoll-Rädern bestellen und die Höchstgeschwindigkeit ab Werk von 250 auf 280 km/h heraufsetzen lassen.

Those who like it harder can order optional 19" rims with a sportier suspension.

^yep the performance package..
