yep, another good option - although Kam has put me off it due to the poor residuals that AMG seem to have

Not sure how he could claim to know the C63 residuals for a car that has yet to be even launched....

And if you don't run full term on the ownership/finance it's not a problem anyway.

Gareth,

I wasn't refering the C63 specifically and wasn't claiming to know anything for definite :? - it was just my thoughts - I may be wrong, but from what I have watched with respect to AMG's they dont seem to be 'special' in terms of short term residuals. The C63 of course may be quite different due to its class :)

Just my thoughts anyway

I would agree on "Past" AMG, I held off as the RV and electrical reliability have been suspect. The New C63 however does need a look, there is a lot of bang for buck there.

business partner owns a E55 and we both feel AMG's are long term buys - especially the 'bruisers' - say SL55, E63, S63 etc - you pay over the market value for them, however you can keep them for 5 years and they still command respect on the road as they are sooo damn quick to begin with.

Anyway, back to RS5 - anyone got access to a time machine :wink: 8)

Am considering RS5 but a bit worried re rear seat space
Have a 5 yr old son plus aspirations of increasing the family at some point
Sold my 3 series coupe for a 5 series (before buying my current RS4 saloon) purely on rear seat space and convenience of a 4 door.
I've heard the back of the A5 is a bit tight,not sat in /seen one yet.
Anyone else a 'family man' considering an RS5

Only when my daughter leaves us, can't get tall people comfortable in the rear seats.
