Coincidentally I bought a bike and took up cycling after nearly 30 years of not sitting on a bike at around the same time as I bought the C63. Ride most days including to work once a week.

Same here, matey....well I blew the dust off an old one. I cycle to work nearly every day but it's only 1.7 miles each way.

I see you dug your lycra out too Phil.

As I've said before, if you think the standard C63's good, you should try a Black Series! These are seriously quick and even more focused. Never once have I missed my old V8V - driving that is; looks are a different matter!
Agree regarding using the flappy paddles, the gbox in Sport+ mode is awesome anyway!

I moved from a C63 Coupe to a DBS. Whilst the Merc was an amazing piece of machinery it lacked a bit something, almost as if was too mechanical and not enough soul.

and another here - went from V8V to SL63 - have not regretted one moment of it - ok, not nearly as pretty, but nice to have a car you can enjoy without waiting for the next failure/fault.

It's a nice car - not as quick as a DB9.2 (ahem) - but full on 4/5 seater. However check used car prices; aston-esque depreciation. I'm at a certain level of car now where cost to change to another 'super car' is reasonable and mirrors previous C2C for the previous cars I had which cost 40% less. If I changed 'down' to a C63 I'd lose this facility 'on paper' and would be back to highly specced Beemers and mercs instead of well specced exotica. Work with slightly older Astons though and it's straight swap time (not for me though).
