C63 Coupe or CLA45 AMG

[samu23]

I'm after a new car and have narrowed it down to a 2011-2013 C63 AMG or 2014-2015 CLA 45.

Budget was initially £30k but I could stretch to a little more for the right car.

Young professional covering 6k miles per year, I like the idea of the newer more modern car but I don't think I can pass up the opportunity of owning that incredible V8!!

Which would you go for?

The one with the biggest engine!!

One of the guys down my gym has a c63 coupe in white. Stunning car, simply stunning.

C63......the AMG A class a little what would you say ? yuck ?

You need a slap for even contemplating these 2.

On your budget you can easily get a later facelift C63 which has the much nicer interior.

W205 or W204?

Think I've settled on a W204 coupe with PPP

[ecain63]

C63 every time.

I had a pre FL C63 with PPP and all the trimmings a couple of years back. Sold it for a new A45. loved the little McMerc and when tunedit was much quicker point to point than the C63, even when mapped. The fact I sold it after 16 months for a facelift C63 with all the options would suggest that although the A45 is incredibly accomplished, it's just not a C63

This is the one I'm looking at buying:

Beautiful.

If I wasn't such a convertible fan that's exactly what would be sitting in my garage right now.

Good spec that. Do it!

Congrats OP - I bought my black C63 PPP from Southern Sky. Great company and amazing car. I would say get the secondary cats removed. Very cheap and sounds perfect.

Haven't had a chance to get some proper photo's yet but yes collected the car Monday night, been grinning ever since!

I will look at secondary cat delete, any problems with emissions or warranty?
