I sat on thur in a c63 at my local dealer..has anyone meddled with the thermotronic unit..the dials..it is so cheap looking and feel ..turning the dials does not feel solid like the W203 or W211..not sure if this is the case for the newer lot of cars fitted with the new style thermotronic unit..the buttons are fine but felt so dis-heartened with the quality build of the dials..car was the latest C63 with the 2 finger signal light on the wing mirrors..fully kitted out demo car..hopefully the car sits there for a year depreciating and i might get one then..

Wonder if they do the leather dash and console like the CLS and SL with the stitching showing..Brabus does the suede all around material..would have been nice if the c63 had similar with leather to give the interior that extra x factor like the recaro style seats..I sat in the back seat to check rear passenger leg room..poor back passengers..cannot see much pass the front headrest..

Believe me, it makes not a jot of difference how cheap looking the dials feel, you just would not buy this car for that kind of thing.

Not sure about a "normal" C class though....

If you want cheap then the 6.2 liter engine is one of the best in the world and the cheapest way you are going to sample that is in this car.

I have seen the suede covered dash on a C63 in the AMG factory and whilst it looks good there is no way I would pay the kind of money that is required to have one, go and buy an Aston or something.

I can tell you that when I get in this car and drive it, it is still an event, I have a stunning radio and lots of creature comforts but what I do is shut down Comand, tip up the sunroof and glow in the soundtrack.

All my friend in his M5 wants to do is show off how many buttons and system controls he has.....:confused:

No, this car is a stunning peice of automation why do you want to sit there and fiddle with buttons and dials for!!!!:crazy:

Come along to the GTG at Gaydon, I'll show you what I mean....:D It's OK I wont make you sit in the back either.;)

i do agree..it is only minor details when you have AMG engine at the front..to even switch the radio on or play a CD is dishonouring the AMG engine..It is a beautiful car..even the C55 is amazing..
