Picked up new Coupe (pic heavy)

[DuncS3]

Hi guys,

After placing my order in September, I picked up my new Coupe yesterday. When they did the reveal in the showroom I was mega impressed with the looks of the car - and as the salesman had told me before hand, its a magnet because people then start to gather round it.

This is my third C63, all have been in Polar White with black wheels (yeah I know..) - my first was a W204 C63 507 Coupe - which I kept for 2 years and I typically think that is the best car I have owned - the second was a C63S saloon which only lasted about 7 months.

I prefer the Coupes to the Saloon generally as I do not need 4 doors - so when I saw the Coupe early pics and heard that it was wider, had a completely newly developed rear end just for the C63 I felt more of a detachment from the saloon, so it went. Ultimately I just didn't gel with it - obviously still a great car overall.

So initial impressions after 1 day and 100 miles on the Coupe vs my Saloon:

Coupe - for me, it looks better - especially at the rear (obviously subjective)
Not 100% on this as just running in but I do believe it sounds louder than the saloon (both have sports exhaust)
It remembers the last settings - so my sports exhaust is on at next restart if I stopped the car with it on
The ride is much better!! - in comfort mode on the saloon I always felt it was too hard at the rear - initially Coupe feels better - hurrah.
Coupe has Burmeister, saloon didn't - stock stereo in my saloon was very disappointing after harman kardon in my W204 - really pleased with the Burmeister setup

With the saloon I kept looking back at the W204 with misty eyes but not with the Coupe, its what I wanted as the upgrade from W204 and tech wise, interior etc it would be hard to go back.

Lastly, Edition 1 spec on Coupe to me, makes it like my 507 - Alcantara wheel, cool interior, aero touches over standard - bigger rear spoiler, front splitter, different rear diffuser - not sure about side blades but they stick out a lot.

Anyway pics:

Looks really nice. I do like the extra little aero bits

Very nice indeed, if I did not require an estate I would be tempted by a coupe.

That's a thing of beauty. It took a while for the coupe to grow on me, but it can't be denied it is a very good looking car even in none AMG form. Congrats on your purchase!

Thanks guys - I am really over the moon with it - justit is very muscular, it's really wide at the front and rear and has a good stance. The options I got on my car on top of the Edition 1 spec which includes the premium pack were 360 camera (loved that on the saloon), AMG Drivers Package and HUD. I'm very impressed with the HUD - it's pretty cool and I think the camera (perhaps the stock camera is enough) is essential as there is very limited rear visibility as the rear is quite high.
