Congragulations. The IS-F would likely be more reliable, but if you live in an area with bumpy roads I can understand you passing up on it. The C63 definitely has a more-civilized suspension....and, yes, that torque.

Treat that hand-built AMG V8 well, though, and break it in carefully. I know you will want to wring it out ASAP, but keep it under 4500 and don't floor the gas pedal for the first 1000 miles or so.

Here's my formal take on the 2009 model:

I'd go C63 over and IS-F too.
Very nice!

I am also wondering why TunedIS-F went from a C63 to an IS-F. The C looked drop dead gorgeous.

Congrats on the purchase!

I've always loved the C63, head-turning looks, and out of all 3 (or 4), the C63 appears to be the most underrated and under appreciated. It is an awesome sedan.

I was a couple of signatures from getting the 2010 F, but the sales manager pissed me off. So I said I am done with Lexus (for now) and thought I would try something different. Found a great deal on this c63. So why not.
