Summary

2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

The four-door, rear-wheel-drive Mercedes C63 AMG is a serious contender for the crown that the BMW M3 has worn for years, with more horsepower and acceleration for the same price. With a new AMG-designed suspension, its cornering is dynamic. It has giant effective brakes and a satisfying seven-speed manual automatic transmission with slick double-clutch rev-matching downshifting. The leather seats are beautifully bolstered. Its main drawback is the rigidity of the suspension, felt on sharp bumps.

Sam Moses filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com after his test drive of the C63 AMG in Arizona.
