I’ve had a ‘13 C63 AMG coupe for almost a year now. Absolutely love it to death. Biggest gripe would have to be the transmission though, it’s borderline terrible. It’s almost if the car can’t make up its mind sometimes and jerks you forward. The amazing V8 and sound makes up for it though 👌🏼
Carnivore strange. I had a 12” C63 mapped and fitted with a Quaife. Gearbox was v smooth, no jerkiness and shifts were fairly quick for a single clutch. C mode was comfy , M was ideal for fast driving
Some how a pro MTB rider has produced one of the best car review videos iv seen. I'm considering a C63 and have been looking at videos with info on the car. ironic that a cyclist should provide the best video. Car related youtubers take note!
Great vid ... I too had one of these and sold it for the 4 litre twin turbo .. both cars old and new are great. The 4.0 c63s has a much faster gearbox and the suspension modes make it a better planted harder track car .. on both cars, the sport + mode makes the gearbox totally trick and with one of the best engines of all time , the combo is difficult to beat .. and I’ve owned an s4 v8 and driven many M3s.... if you want a car as a long term investment , Here it is.....a future classic ...
I have a 2014 C63 base model in the US with a tune for 540HP---this car is absolutely insane and I second every one of your statements about this car's merits and then some. Great video!
I bought a 2014 C63 2 door last year, it's all black. Absolutely love it. Had 55k miles on it. Now it has 77k miles. Just an awesome car to drive. Best C63 out there. Love the sound of the 6.2. Personally not a fan of the 4.0 Twin turbo. Just my opinion though. But real good video 🤘🤘 glad it came across me
As someone who watches a lot of car videos, that was a quality effort. Nice one Matt. You obviously know your cars mentioning the LSD, also LOVE that sound 👍
agreed the 6.2 is special but I really wouldn't knock the 4.0 w205. as an overall vehicle it eats the w204 for breakfast, but it doesn't make much sense to eat the depreciation on the 205s. also the design of the facelift 204 is better than the 205 in saloon form. the interior of the 205 is a major step up and you can get the 205 with HUD,.360 cams and distronic , so if you want a highway cruiser then the 205 is the one. handles a lot better too. if you want something leary wild ,loud and beastly then the 204 is the one and it is a bargain compared to the 205. the ultimate 63 is the black series but they are not affordable.
AMG thought it was a good idea to put 255 tires at the rear with a 6.2 L engine. The E39 M5 has 275 stock, and that has 400HP from a smaller 5.0L V8. If you slap on wider tires, the 204 is going to handle much, much better. But in the end, that 6.2 is all i need to hear for me to go for the 204 over the 205.
Yours is the performance pack plus mate, Performance pack was pre and a few post facelift cars and had no power increase but had lowered suspension, a rear LSD, and I think the alcatenra inserts on the wheels still too. Possibly a few more bits too. Lovely cars aren’t they? Had mine 18 months now and loving it.
I’ve done it. Bought mine. I just couldn’t resist. Feel like I just had a huge upgrade. Running costs are so much better. If you drink fuel and tires already. Fuck it what’s the point of waiting? I just love the noise I get. Edit....Anyone thinking they shouldn’t buy this your wrong...It’s amazing.
Love it. I'm looking at buying one soon. So understated yet will blow most other cars away. I think the most perfect all round car ever made. Now just have to save the money
Jeeez! 12.16 of video, and it's 12 minutes of this guy yapping louder than the C63..... Oh he! About the most desirable options: P30 (sport package) is the one you want. +30hp, LSD and some suspension mod's. All from the guys from AMG.
To get more mileage out of the rear tires, you need to get a rear camber kit - even if the car is stock. It just runs way too much negative camber & thus chews the inside of the rear wheels way too quickly. I did it in mine, and get close to 12k miles now, and that includes track 3 -4 days in that number. :)
Your content at the moment is bang on. A Refreshing change, everyone loves to watch you ride. But a very good descriptive of the car.... People will benefit 👍 Top man. Would be nice to see you at the trails tho
Thanks so much for doing this review looking at one this weekend was in 2 minds about getting one but this video has made my mind up looks like c63 AMG it is 👌👌👌👍
Matt Jones picked mine up yesterday went for a 2011 c63 amg edition 125 all in black stealthy looking it’s insane its had cats off very loud my insta is lumpy1984 👌thanks for the review again 👍
I got same car but a 2014 this summer, just awesome. I have a 2014 SS Camaro too, now I call it my 6.2 for classy and my 6.2 for white trashy. Both have same size engine. But the Merc is a monster and could easily stomp the Camaro.
Amazing car and video mate. So far that’s the best explanation about that car I could find in TH-cam. I’m thinking of buying one but I think I’m gonna become Mercedes Benz slave lol 😂
Really informative, thanks. One question I have is the brakes. Ball park how much is a set of discs and pads? If you have changed them approximately at what mileage intervals. Thanks in advance.
A C63 with development package has floating rotors and costs much more than non-Dev package C63. My non-dev brake discs were only $150 each, and 70$ for pads, but Dev package discs are like $900 each on Pelican Parts.com
Loved the video!! I've been thinking about buying one of these for a while,, is it worth going for the 507 edition? Also can you run it on 95 petrol or does it have to be premium? Thanks
+lookatcha hey, I thought for a while about the 507 edition. I didn’t go for it in the end but I love the 507 wheels and Bonnet vents. Other than that the engine is identical to the performance pack C63, with a slightly different tune. But both can be exceeded with a remap. The car does run on standard petrol but I always use high octane fuel, the engine deserves good quality fuel, plus if you get the car remapped it’s wise to always use the same fuel as that’s what the engine ‘understands’
I love the C63 & i used to prefer coupe few years ago, but now i would prefer buying the saloon version..! I also prefer Mercedes instead of Audi RS or BMW M series
Matt this is a really useful video. I do a lot of MTBing but like you also love cars. I’ve got an M135i not but pine after a 63. I think it’s time... ;)
505 pounds a year... max tax in GB... Geez, and we got over a grand here in Latvia for 4-liter+ vehicles with about 8 times the difference in salaries. 'tis dope. (y)
Good review. I’m considering getting one, a saloon. But got to think carefully about my 60 mile round trip commute and how much it’s going to cost me in fuel.
Crankshaft 1776 if your commute is highway you should be good. I am getting 18 to 21 mpg on highway so like you driving a v6. But it is really bad on city cruise and when you step on the gase it will give you 8 mpg😂😂. So it all depends on you
Great video mate. My only complaint is you didn’t explain what the LSD does, and how traction works in the different modes. If someone can answer that’s great!
+Edward Smith hey mate. A limited slip diff or LSD, means that both rear wheels spin at the same speed and same time, ultimately it sends power to the wheel that isn’t spinning, so both end up spinning together. A traditional open diff that most cars have (and most standard C63’s), send power to the wheel that’s already spinning, this means that you end up with one wheel spinning whilst the other isn’t delivering much power or traction to the road. So an LSD puts more power down overall, increasing acceleration but most of all increasing control. Regarding traction, you can have it fully switched on, in which case the car is actually very safe, ‘sport’ traction allows the rear wheels to break traction briefly, making the car tail happy but very controllable. With traction fully off, the car is an animal, especially in the wet. Prepare to be snaking all over the road when you floor it, but you can also do burnouts and drifts so it’s amazing to have all 3 modes
Matt Jones thanks mate. You’re one of the few youtubers who actually bother replying. My question was about c, s and s+ or m. I’ve heard the exhaust pops and bangs only happen in sports+ or m? Is this true? I don’t want to be making these with risk of traction being off or limited as I’ll spin off the road.
Edward Smith hey mate. Sorry I misunderstood your question. Okay so the driving modes are comfort, sport, sport plus and manual. You can control these modes by turning a small selector wheel by the gear selector. These modes have nothing to do with traction control, that’s a separate button and feature. So you can drive in sport plus and have traction completely switched on, which will remain safe. The exhaust will sound the same in all modes when accelerating, the only difference is that in s+ and M - the gear changes are faster and more aggressive which sound better, it will change gear in 0.1 seconds; this means that down shifts sound amazing in these modes.
Edward Smith they’re all very similar. I prefer the 19 inch wheels to the 18inch wheels. But that’s just appearance and personal preference. I’ve heard that the Harmon kardon sound system is decent. Mine doesn’t have that but the sound system is great regardless. I think they’re amazing cars that are reliable and deliver amazing power.
I have been having my heart set on a c63 507 in awhile. I mean it won't be a daily driver as I wouldn't want to put many miles on it, but rather it'd be a Saturday and Sunday family car. Issue is, I don't have a driving licence yet 😂. Don't even know how to drive so not sure if it is a good idea.
Not familiar with your laws, but you mentioned a tax bracket for the car. Do you have to pay that 500 every year just for the “privilege” to own and drive the car?
My 507 is 5 years young (!) and covers 15k miles a year and needs no extra oil other than regular services which to date has been once a year. I've been genuinely impressed by how little it has cost to service for the performance/capability of the car. Probably jinxed it now!!!
Brilliant video my sister went crazy when I showed her the car im gona buy and that its a bag of sand to insure but that has made me wana buy it more! As has every video featuring a guy smiling from ear to ear every time he plants that right foot down, Fuck life is too short well the very reason I can afford one so fuck it guys just buy one dont listen to boring people or your Wife/any member of your family..... or the dog...
I just got some pimpin' new bosch windscreen wipers for my 1.4 Astra
A Junglist you da real mvp
A Junglist stoked for you
Thanks guy's. It's comments of support like this which make me want to change the rear wipers now.
LOL
Best mod you could ever do bro! Tops to you! 👏

Carnivore strange. I had a 12” C63 mapped and fitted with a Quaife. Gearbox was v smooth, no jerkiness and shifts were fairly quick for a single clutch. C mode was comfy , M was ideal for fast driving
Yeah i found the gearbox abit mishmash buts it alright. Could need a gearbox upgrade
Flush the trans fluid bro change it, see if it makes any difference

Hey I was wondering what tune are you running for 540hp?
fantastic review gave me everything I need to know to buy my 2013 c63 . well done mate .
I bought a 2014 C63 2 door last year, it's all black. Absolutely love it. Had 55k miles on it. Now it has 77k miles. Just an awesome car to drive. Best C63 out there. Love the sound of the 6.2. Personally not a fan of the 4.0 Twin turbo. Just my opinion though. But real good video 🤘🤘 glad it came across me
4:40 AMG POWAAAAA🤘
BielG99 he doesn't know how to rev it tho
Just want to say what a good video this is! Possibly one of the best c63 honest reviews I've seen 👍
As someone who watches a lot of car videos, that was a quality effort. Nice one Matt. You obviously know your cars mentioning the LSD, also LOVE that sound 👍
agreed the 6.2 is special but I really wouldn't knock the 4.0 w205. as an overall vehicle it eats the w204 for breakfast, but it doesn't make much sense to eat the depreciation on the 205s. also the design of the facelift 204 is better than the 205 in saloon form. the interior of the 205 is a major step up and you can get the 205 with HUD,.360 cams and distronic , so if you want a highway cruiser then the 205 is the one. handles a lot better too.
if you want something leary wild ,loud and beastly then the 204 is the one and it is a bargain compared to the 205. the ultimate 63 is the black series but they are not affordable.
AMG thought it was a good idea to put 255 tires at the rear with a 6.2 L engine. The E39 M5 has 275 stock, and that has 400HP from a smaller 5.0L V8. If you slap on wider tires, the 204 is going to handle much, much better.

Good overview with helpful real world info!
Great review of the C63. The best on this car yet. Currently on the lookout for one myself.
I’ve done it. Bought mine. I just couldn’t resist. Feel like I just had a huge upgrade. Running costs are so much better. If you drink fuel and tires already. Fuck it what’s the point of waiting? I just love the noise I get.
Edit....Anyone thinking they shouldn’t buy this your wrong...It’s amazing.
Love it. I'm looking at buying one soon. So understated yet will blow most other cars away. I think the most perfect all round car ever made. Now just have to save the money
Bought one a month ago. Its pricey if youre not used to running something like this but its 100% worth it if you can afford. Bite the bullet
I always liked the saloon seats over the coupe ones… but coupe ones they do appear much more stance when in a light grey leather. Adore your car
That was actually very helpful as I'm currently looking to purchase one. Many thanks 👍
Really good video. The c63 AMG is my all time dream car . I really want one
so did I, so DID i.
This lads a natural public speaker!
Very nice and thorough video, up to par or even better than the best car TH-camrs in my opinion
Girlfriends dad used to have one
She dumped me but still a aesome car
Sounds like a joke from 1950's.
Had to dislike your bad joke mate
Great video pal... I have just brought one, the same colour but a 5 door one what a car!!!!! 19inch csl alloys just needs a few bits wrapping black.
Jeeez! 12.16 of video, and it's 12 minutes of this guy yapping louder than the C63..... Oh he! About the most desirable options: P30 (sport package) is the one you want. +30hp, LSD and some suspension mod's. All from the guys from AMG.
PPP doesnt have LSD as standard, at least know what youre on about before chatting shit
Great video. I’m looking at buying one and this was really helpful, cheers fella.
I like so much your videos. The style of the video it's just great. I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷
Great video buddy, love my C63, same year as yours, except the saloon. Music required....nah, just put the window down!! 😂😂
Sweet car 🚗 absolutely beautiful
I personally prefer the 6.2 in a 4 door version. Still a sexy looking coupe
Great review,awesome car,can't wait to get one.
Great review and amazing car can't beat that V8 snarl 😍

@@lumpy1984 what it like on fuel? im tempted myself..want it just for the noise
@@MohammedShahid694 15mpg on average lol... you don't buy a 6.2L V8 for fuel consumption.
Great video .. I get mine next week I’m so excited
I got same car but a 2014 this summer, just awesome. I have a 2014 SS Camaro too, now I call it my 6.2 for classy and my 6.2 for white trashy. Both have same size engine. But the Merc is a monster and could easily stomp the Camaro.
Good video that mate 👍 I'm looking for one myself at the minute so this was pretty helpful thanks
Excellent video man! Perfect for another actually interested in buying one
Great clip very informative as I’m keen on getting one 😊 thanks
It was quality seeing you ride and getting a picture with you at source last week! Cheers mate keep it up, msl supercharger kit to come?;)
Loving the car content, keep it coming,
Useful video fella. Not enough around on the coupe.
Quickly becoming my favorite TH-cam channel! Sick ride bro, keep up the good work!

Was considering an rs4 avant b8 for a long time, but considering the price you can find a c63 in comparison... this is really tempting :D
I love the number plate 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Best video I've seen of this car so far! If anyone knows of any similar ones let me know
Frosty . . . . 🥶
Matt this is a really useful video. I do a lot of MTBing but like you also love cars. I’ve got an M135i not but pine after a 63. I think it’s time... ;)
I was able to get 12,000 miles on rears (Michelin Primacy MXM4). Got 7k on Michelin Pillot Supersports and 5k on Pirelli PZero.
Quality that. Get your self on top gear you just showed them up. 😂👌
Andy butterfield top gears rubbish grand tour is where it’s at
luke daniels I no mate. That’s why I put get your self on top gear. Did a good review their. Top gear is just shite now.
Andy butterfield sorry mate misunderstood you. He really did show them up
‘Living with a...’, sounds like a title from a Car Throttle video.
505 pounds a year... max tax in GB... Geez, and we got over a grand here in Latvia for 4-liter+ vehicles with about 8 times the difference in salaries. 'tis dope. (y)

Yes! Black wheels 😍
First your class Matt

nice man you should get a black series next lol
Hi there mate can you explain more on how the rs works I got the c63 but never used that before cheers
Lovely car!!!
nice video
Matt, come to Bedford Autodrome on the 12th March and film a sick track session in the car!
thanks for
clarification
real life. thanks my mate
Please get another mx bike and make some mx videos, would be sick to meet you at a track!
A section 59 on its way to you. I give it 6 months. 😂😂
Is it bmw m5 e60 expensive to own or is it reliable, couse i owned a e60 2 years 90% of the time it was broken
Matt how much did those plates cost 20k?
Your cracking me up bro! #V8Thunder
Is it reliable? We know how good it sounds and the power it has, is it reliable? Does it have the previous engine issues?
No I dont think so, I have been driving w204 for a couple of years now, awesome cars tbh !!!
The facelift model fixed the head bolt issues so yea it's reliable
That car sick
Is it Bi turbo? If is .so it s dangerous to get it .cos the motor goes down early
my dream car 😍😍🤗
Great video mate. My only complaint is you didn’t explain what the LSD does, and how traction works in the different modes. If someone can answer that’s great!
+Edward Smith hey mate.
A limited slip diff or LSD, means that both rear wheels spin at the same speed and same time, ultimately it sends power to the wheel that isn’t spinning, so both end up spinning together. A traditional open diff that most cars have (and most standard C63’s), send power to the wheel that’s already spinning, this means that you end up with one wheel spinning whilst the other isn’t delivering much power or traction to the road.

Regarding traction, you can have it fully switched on, in which case the car is actually very safe, ‘sport’ traction allows the rear wheels to break traction briefly, making the car tail happy but very controllable. With traction fully off, the car is an animal, especially in the wet. Prepare to be snaking all over the road when you floor it, but you can also do burnouts and drifts so it’s amazing to have all 3 modes
Matt Jones thanks mate. You’re one of the few youtubers who actually bother replying. My question was about c, s and s+ or m. I’ve heard the exhaust pops and bangs only happen in sports+ or m? Is this true? I don’t want to be making these with risk of traction being off or limited as I’ll spin off the road.
Edward Smith hey mate. Sorry I misunderstood your question.
Okay so the driving modes are comfort, sport, sport plus and manual. You can control these modes by turning a small selector wheel by the gear selector. These modes have nothing to do with traction control, that’s a separate button and feature. So you can drive in sport plus and have traction completely switched on, which will remain safe.
The exhaust will sound the same in all modes when accelerating, the only difference is that in s+ and M - the gear changes are faster and more aggressive which sound better, it will change gear in 0.1 seconds; this means that down shifts sound amazing in these modes.
Matt Jones amazing mate. Happy Easter. Do you know any key things to look for when buying a 62-13 plate coupe?
Edward Smith they’re all very similar. I prefer the 19 inch wheels to the 18inch wheels. But that’s just appearance and personal preference. I’ve heard that the Harmon kardon sound system is decent. Mine doesn’t have that but the sound system is great regardless. I think they’re amazing cars that are reliable and deliver amazing power.
I have been having my heart set on a c63 507 in awhile. I mean it won't be a daily driver as I wouldn't want to put many miles on it, but rather it'd be a Saturday and Sunday family car. Issue is, I don't have a driving licence yet 😂. Don't even know how to drive so not sure if it is a good idea.
made my day
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO MAN
THANKS
REALLY
Not familiar with your laws, but you mentioned a tax bracket for the car. Do you have to pay that 500 every year just for the “privilege” to own and drive the car?
Its my dream car too bro :( sad face is due to the fact that I dont own one yet :(
Do a video on a c63 how much the petrol is and how the insurance is as an everyday day
Good Lord, it's bite is as bad(ass) as it's bark. Noice.
Like it ! Still prefer my R class version for 40% less
What exhaust setup do you have on the car ?
Like, mountain biker with a good taste in cars
Top honest lad 🤙
Great review and the yeary pricing im bit worried as thinking getting one but heard its dangerous and people say get audi rs5.
can you please get the microphone with dead cat im nearly deff because of wind noise
Hey Matt what is the Oil consumption like ??? Do u have to top up often? My F10 M5 Drinks oil :(
My 507 is 5 years young (!) and covers 15k miles a year and needs no extra oil other than regular services which to date has been once a year. I've been genuinely impressed by how little it has cost to service for the performance/capability of the car. Probably jinxed it now!!!
You are the best
Cheers Top gear Matt 😂😂😂😂
Fuel isn’t crazy bad if you don’t beat on it.
Thanks for this vid. Im in the market. 👍
So why did you sold the previous merc?
Brilliant video my sister went crazy when I showed her the car im gona buy and that its a bag of sand to insure but that has made me wana buy it more! As has every video featuring a guy smiling from ear to ear every time he plants that right foot down, Fuck life is too short well the very reason I can afford one so fuck it guys just buy one dont listen to boring people or your Wife/any member of your family..... or the dog...
These cars are extremely expensive in Denmark. I so so so so wish I lived somewhere that didn't have such high taxes on cars!
Can’t you just come over here to Sweden and import one? Or Germany? A pre-facelift relatively low mileage goes for around 22k
Love the power super
