Watch This Before Buying a C63S* | Honest Review of a Modern Legend!

[@streetheat3366]

Truly my favourite V8 but unfortunately the price in Australia let’s it down. Our luxury car tax sucks.

yup in NZ its considerably cheaper due to less tax.. its a shame because the car is SO GOOD

I have just bought one, low mileage FY18 in a lovely all black combo colour with the black performance rims and the car is absolutely incredible when I tested it, I am waiting to pick it up from the dealer after they finish installing the brabus 650 kit.

Not sure if it’s the same in Australia as it is in the UK but the saloon does not come with the performance exhaust standard - it has to be specced from brand new - only the coupe gets the fantastic sounding exhaust. They say the C63 (476bhp) is slightly quicker to 60 mph than the more powerful S (510 bhp) model due to getting its power down better🤔🤔. Great content 👍🇬🇧

Great review Jono! My boss from many moons ago bought a 6 month old SL55 AMG from memory for $400k and after a year he put it through the raffles (auctions) and couldn't get $250k for it it! AMG is joked to stand for, All Money Gone! I really like these newer versions, but would probably have the older 6.2 if money would permit! Cheers for sharing mate...

[@RossReviewsau]

its no question the amount of money they cost is ridiculous! unless you buy at the bottom or an exclusive model you will almost always lose money on them. but i guess for people who can afford it they don't care... i like this more i think rather than the old W204 but my god the sound of that 6.2NA!!! SO GOOD!

Its the old interior too, should see the new dash on the facelift

[@EzzaLeo]

It's easy to understand why this car is so popular. Even as a BMW fanboy, if ever there was a Merc I desired it is this and/or its E-class big brother. I know they're different generations and not direct competitors, but how did you find this compared to the M6 Gran Coupe? Oh and if you get the chance, I'd love to get your thoughts on the current BMW M550i. For just ~$139k new, it seems incredible bang for (German) buck, with its 390kW and 3.6 second 0-100km.h. Lastly, your vidoes often include some great music tracks - if you can, please list their names :)

[@RossReviewsau]

M6 did feel a bit more special.. 100%, but also felt older witch it is.. on the road tho they felt basically just as fast.. the M6 quicke on the straight but the C63 just so much more balanced. all my music is off no copyright sounds youtube channel

[@mattmurphy5419]

Great review as always Ross, everything you said about Amg is true I rekon. My old man has a 2010 Amg Ml63 with a few bolt ons and tune and makes about 600hp. He is extremely disappointed with the ride quality, it has 21 inch factory tyres and you feel every single bump. It’s also has automatic suspension which I hear just makes it even worse. I’ve driven his car numerous times and it’s like driving a roller coaster the worst riding car comfort wise I have ever driven. But then the positives it will chop 95% of cars on the road, is awd and the sound puts Aussie v8s to shame. I’ll just add that if you need any parts replaced they are ridiculously priced and generally they have to be ordered and a tyre costs 570 each.

[@RossReviewsau]

thanks matt! glad you enjoyed it.. the ride was harsher than i was expecting.. tho the facelifted version did attempt to fix that i believe.. yeh the Power you can get out of the AMGs now is so HUGE.. but like you said so does your bank account lol
