Thinking of a C63 Amg estate as a family car. Live in depths of countryside - can it be a car for all seasons or only the dry parts? Thoughts please ...

The AMG body kit on the C63 will mean that it has quite a low ground clearance, but with proper winter tyres can't see why a C63 would not be perfectly capable of dealing with winter roads.

Apart from the salt during winter. A shame for such a nice car IMHO

I use my E55k all year round, winter tyres mean the snow is not an issue.
As to the salt issue, just wash it once in while!

It is difficult to find qualified people to wash it, not many understand the need to rinse in Red Bull and polish it with a cloth woven from freshly plucked Goatee hair. Until such a person turns up I could not possibly give them directorship of my 5 companies and we all know how important that is.
