Hi guys - popped down to my local dealer and had a look around their C63S demo car - also went for a drive but it wasn't planned ahead so only went out for about 15 minutes.
Initial impressions were:
Looks - yes very nice, diamond white with black wheels - other than the rear quarter/boot which I don't like much but I could live with it - it looks a bit to short and the rear lights are not a great design.
Interior - this had the Premium package so leather dash etc - looked way more upmarket than my current C63.
Seats - fantastic
Overall interior is a big step up it seemed - obviously I don't like the stick on cheap lookalike android tablet thing on the dash but not a big problem.
Noise - low speed rumble, say when navigating the car park definitely sounded more bassy to me - I was getting quite excited at this stage for the aural delight I was expecting but out on the road it was quite far away from my car, but then I do have secondary cats removed so mine is special sounding - still a good noise though. I am not sure if it had the actual performance exhaust which is a 1K option - it did have a switchable exhaust but that could jsut be operating the exhaust flaps. still sounds good but I would want to have more noise to be satisfied.
Performance - felt quick of course, so does my 507 - need to drive it for a good couple of hours really but no concerns about the cars performance - its obviously very quick.
Overall I was very impressed and it really made my 507 look dated inside and outside.
Lets see - no deals really to be had on these at the moment I don't think.
