New whip

Hey Arthur!

Still sticking with Mercedes?

How does this one compare to the last one?

You're still dead to us.

Hey!

Smoother, more refined, but very quick
Really nice interior
In hindsight the w204 could not hold my interest long term like the RS4
The RS4 is a very special car

It is with out doubt a beautiful car, but it just isn't purposeful enough, in my opinion. I had the previous C63 and went back to a B7 RS4.
Is the auto a clutch mechanism now or still a torque converter, as mine was a slushmatic and the gear changes weren't sharp enough.

It has the mct (not a dual clutch)
Basically a wet clutch pack
The 2011+ w204 had those
The pre 2011 (which mine was) had a conventional torque convertor
Either way still a 'slush box'

So it feels like a big improvement to me (may not to guys who had the 2011+ mct)
Very sharp and responsive depending on selected mode
But with 450 lb ft from <2500 to >6000 rpm it's imo a good application

More subtle than the previous version
But I like it, looks good in the metal
Although black is a pita to care for lol
