C63 Owners - Does your wife/girlfriend enjoy driving it?
Discussion
Thinking of buying a C63 V8 estate which would be family car and my wife would drive regularly.
Thing is she isn't a petrolhead and I'm just a little concerned she won't like the car much as a daily driver. So wondered if any owners can comment as to how their wives enjoy driving theirs/any issues?

My wife drives my 204 C63 quite regularly (especially as we've just had a baby and she spent the last nine months as my deso-driver). Believe it or not, in comfort mode it is a very relaxed drive, acceleration is dulled down and the gears shift up at 1500 revs if you're gentle, so there isn't that much noise either. I did make her drive it in S+ once but we were kangarooing around like anything, so it wasn't repeated 
Obviously you'll find this out for yourself on a test drive, but it really is quite civilised when driven gently - you do have to provoke it to make it the lairy beast it longs to be
It is a fantastic car to own so I'd really encourage you to go find out. Have no idea what I'd ever replace it with when I need something bigger
Happy to answer more specific questions if you have any OP
