no manual option aside, the other big problem with the C63 is image. It must be pretty hard to find a car that hasn't spent it's life either being ragged endlessly around Birmingham/Bradford city centers or owned by someone who goes to the gym alot & has 'BIG' or 'BO55' in the numberplate

I remember being overtake by one of these on the A508 near Northampton. The sound it made certainly left an impression.

This was a childhood dream car of mine as a teenager when they were first produced. Purchased but sold mine, and missed it so much by pure fluke, seen the exact car back up for sale 6 years later and I don’t think I’ll let it go again now. Pre facelift model saloon in tenorite grey with the performance pack. Sounds amazing and at the prices they are at now they are an absolute steal.

Just very thirsty 😂

Unpopular opinion but I find it’s flaws with its gearbox actually compliments and suits the nature of the car to a tee! I love how dinosaur and analogue the C63 is. I love how you have a monumental gearshifter and the gearbox is docile when you first start it up, as if it’s dragging it’s heels on the floor until it gets up to temperature, makes it feel human and relatable. As a regular auto it’s simply perfect for everyday use, then in sport + the shifts are ferocious in addition to the downshifts which are to die for. It may not be the fastest box, but I think it just compliments the engine/soundtrack, and really accentuates the whole experience feeling so raw. I think if it had a DCT or something equivalent, it would lose its charm and feel less rewarding, whereas with the MCT it feels like an event with a crescendo at the end of every gear change or downshift.

Just want to point out this is the S204 variant, the saloon is the W204 . Love the channel, all the best wishes James!

Yep 100% this is the best C63 there will ever be.

The main part of the facelift was the completely redesigned dashboard, which was a massive improvement

M156 and M159 growl will never not make me smile and grin like an idiot.

I absolutely love my white 2013 C63 estate with performance pack and limited slip differential which I've owned for nearly 6 years.
Mine is stock except for the secondary cat delete but without the X pipe.
The sunroof was standard on all C63's.
I have fitted W206 C63S forged cross spoke wheels with 255 front and 275 rear Michelin PS4s and it has definitely changed the handling for the better.
Keep up the great reviews.

Love my 2012 C63 coupe, great engine. Cost me very little in my year of ownership and 6k miles. Every drive is an event, which is the best part for me.

I truly love this car.

There won’t be more like it so we need to look after these ones with the glorious 6.2L V8!

I own one of these, specifically a 507 Edition. But I've been following them for quite some time and from my experience the 'shady owners' have sort of faded away now. (You can find them in modified Golf Rs, Audi RS3s, BMW M140/M135 etc) :)

Had my 2013 coupe for 5yrs now and nothing comes close to considering a px sub £100k. The sound is ridiculous, down changes still give me goosebumps and super solid reliability. Always gets a thumbs up from petrol heads and look out the window at it every day. Really under valued for what you get and prob the best value Bhp/£ out there … Shame about barely double digits mpg 😂

It’s no C63 but I have the C220 and although a little dull it’s been the best car I have ever owned for the last 7 years of ownership. It’s never let me down and has hardly wanted for anything, it’s currently on 135, 000 miles and I will be sad when I change it for sure. I would love one of these!!!

Had a ‘204 wagon for 3 years, absolutely brilliant car. Avoided yobo treatment as a “dull” estate and made me smile every day.

Another brilliant insightful review from JM. It will overtake everything but a fuel station, but are the last of the mad car legends never to be repeated, & soon to be relaced by er.., 4 cyclinder hybrid..

I've had a pre-facelift example for 12 years and prefer it to the .2 version. Yes, the transmission is more antiquated, but I find the headlights to look nicer, the grill looked better, and you can hide the hilariously-outdated infotainment screen, whereas the .2's is always on display.

I love my 2012 C63 coupe. I just picked up a 911 Carrera T manual but I plan to keep the C63 as well, what an amazing motor.
