C43 Estate 2016
Only the one for me, the current C63 estate but I did have a C350 V6 petrol that was pretty quick. Quite rare, when I took it for it's first service at my local MB they insisted that such a car did not exist, Sir must mean it's a diesel!

Just one, chosen to accommodate a large dog. Would really like another in the future, driving has never been so much fun

I also agree with this. They all tend to look too aggressive now with wide "mouths" and fat arches. The 210 was subtle, as were the 202s. I still want a 211 though, love that car. :)
I agree, I think John's car is great, to the unassuming you wouldn't have a clue. I follow a few YouTubers that take new AMG's and make them look angry, it seems an AMG's primary role is to rev loudly.

My 212 was affectionately known as "The German Taxi", even with 850+bhp. No badges and, to the uninitiated, it was a completely standard car.

My current one, W213, is a bit more shouty...

That is another nice one, that power is incredible. Is your current W213 standard?

Would be nice to hear about your experiences in the C63 in the 6 years you’ve had it since new?
Not many keep them that long nor from new....

I think it stopped production around 2010 or 2011.
It's the perfect engine choice for me but most people want smaller or bigger engines. It's right in the middle for performance and efficiency.
Yes there's the 350 diesel option but I had a diesel once. Not for me.

Since I bought it, car has been faultless really. I average 5k miles, a year a mixture of town and motorway. I don’t commute as I am offshore. Mpg is Goodish on motorway...av 27mpg on regular trips to glasgow. Prefer a bigger fuel tank for town driving of course! Installed a Quaife LSD so car much more planted at rear. Plan to keep it for a long while yet as apart from the fuel economy, a new car would not offer me any more! Options inc..rear view camera...rear blind..HK...and carbon exterior. Think car is great and look forward to driving it when I get out of this tiny saturation diving chamber and home!

Only one AMG owned to date, SL55 AMG, owned for 6 years now, it has surprised and delighted me in every way, and continues to do so. Can't see the need to replace it, as it is only lightly used. I like the new SL63s, but don't actually need one.
