If you want to haul ass all the time, I'd have to say C63. If you want something solid, reliable and a good daily driver that won't be stuck in the shop every couple of months or so, then IS-F.
Take it easy! My Neighbor has a C Class Benz and my other neighbor has a BMW 5 Series and a 3 Series and they seems to be happy with them with hardly any problems..I mean hey, you could be right, it just that everyone seems to have a war between Benz,Beemer and Lex implying whatever they own is spectacular..Good example would be on youtube people are shi**ing on F constantly while others are on M3's balls and etc....Everyone, rather almost everyone sh**s on the Benz and Beemers..I'm a F owner myself and Merc and Beemer are great cars, it just that few break down, not all..
First off all they DO break down and it's more than a few,take a four year average,their maintenance is more expensive to upkeep,the oil changes,tune-ups,etc,etc...they have alot of electrical problems;especially Mercedes they're awfull,and their residual is terrible.Go to any Lexus dealer and you'll see Bmw's and Merc's that are trade in's,go to a Bmw or Merc dealer and you'll hardly see any Lexus there .... Better quality product for more money over the years----money management!!
And yes,everyone sh**s on the Benz and Beemers...I'm a F owner
well one of my reasons i did not get the C63 Amg was because i went down to a dealer and they could not get one in until december 08 or january or febuary of 09
and the car is not the same price as a m3 or a lexus isF. the c63 is 77 Thousand they actually have a mark up on them. but thats over here in California and the c63 i really don't like the body on it?. and the interior is just down right HORRIBLE. all i wanted was the Engine pretty much i was looking for a 4 door corvette basically lol. and the sales associates where telling me they bust down hell of a lot. they told me not even to go with a AMG cause there always in the shop?. don't know if maybe they where just trying to make a sale or not but?. thats what they where saying? so for 77 thousand and with out tax or license i really don't think a c63 amg is really worth that much cash. for 80 grand you could get alot nicer car. i would take a Z06.. because i miss my corvette like Crazy my reason for getting a isf as well was because i needed a 4 door car i am suppose to get married in November. so if your a single guy get the Z06 instead of the c63.. but if your a family guy then go isf.
so out of the 4 door saloons m3/isF/c63 the best price value and look i would go isf
