Review: 2009 Mercedes C63 AMG

And keep this in mind.........with many cars, including mine (I don't know why), the trip computer usually shows about 2 MPG high in actual fuel use. Unless you actually verified that 23.4 MPG when you filled up, you were probably getting 21 or 22. For instance, when I got that 32 (which was outstanding for an AWD car like mine) the trip computer was reading around 34.
Just wanted to show that the 63's engine is capable of decent MPG.

i'd be very honest and say while gas can be a concern, but for those who can REALLY afford 60k plus (not to mention 90k for the next level and 6 figures for the higher level) for a car like this (performance oriented), gas shouldn't be a primary concern. i am not saying it's not a concern at all, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker.

i wouldn't want to, but if i like the car enough i'd pay. to be honest, 2k out of 6xk isn't that much. it's like paying 60k for the car and then worry about spending another 1k on clear bra

Actually, I don't think I have looked at the fuel ecconomy on any car that I have bought in the last few years. I did not even know where the guage was that told you how many kilometers per liter on the 600hL until someone pointed it out to me on this site.

Awesome review as usual MMarshall. Lots of big hp car reviews you've been doing lately

I usually do reviews by request or by a demonstrated level of CL interest, although sometimes just for my own curiosity or requests outside of CL. I also do a special review every December (for the holiday season) on a special, unique and expensive car that has drawn a lot of CL interest. This year it may (?) be the Cadillac CTS-V...I'll wait and see.
Right now, the Audi A4 is next.....I just got a request for that today.

Mmarshall,
Thanks for another 1st class review
I learned some new things about the car and the discussion in this thread has been informative too.
But you know me, my car has to be AWD So +1 if your up for reviewing the new A4 next! I had a '98 A4 Quattro for over 8 years before getting my IS and would be interested in your thoughts and impression of the new A4.

Sure. Anytime.
A4's coming up....maybe tomorrow or Thursday. I just found out, though, that Audi replaced the DSG in the new 2009 A4 with a modified Tiptronic, but Quattro AWD is available with it. The DSG, as I understand it, is now only on the A3 and TT.
Stay tuned.
