Re: Out with the old and in with the new
I don't like the mercedes TBH...too boring, I've had AMG's in the past,all you get is traction light cutting in and spoiling the fun 90% of the time,god that yellow is bad!!!

Very similar in size, both on back seats and boot space. Interior of c63 is lovely, but like you say, it's got a strong hint of 'aimed to appeal to old farts' about itdoodlebug wrote:How did you find the size of the C63 estate vs the RS4?
I looked at E63 but couldn't live with the interior, still too much of a whiff of old fart.

I thought e63 looks way too subtle, a proper old mans car
C63 507 estate not as good looking from all angles as b8 RS4

Fwiw, one of the best sounding cars I've ever been in was an SLS. Lovely bit of kit

Would love to say it was memorable in a good way! Wet day/the feckin thing was being a 'little' difficult; rather like trying to befriend a rattle snake.
Too much agro...but awesome on a dry day I would think. No B&O needed in that !

Hi Graeme,
congrats on the new ride. Shame about the sports classic grey, would have been one of my choices too if I had to do it all over again.
Please do a review on the brake feel of the ceramics vs standard brakes if you can. Been wanting to test it at the dealers but the RS4 is all sold out for the time being.
