2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

Pros: Performance, Speed, Acceleration, Class, and good Electronics

Cons: Guzzles the gas (which is expected), brakes squeak when stopping at street lights (if they are not warmed up), and AUX port is in the glovebox

Summary: The car is amazing, everything I could ask for in a car (and more). The engine really throws you back in your seat if you decide to punch the gas (from any speed). I love how the deep bucket seats hug you and keep you in place when taking turns at 60+ mph. The car is very luxurious looking on the outside and catches the eye but doesn't really make you think that it can get up and go? the sound of the engine, the quad exhaust, and the AMG tag give that away. Inside you get a nice classy interior that is very sports tuned (with the bucket seats, race steering wheel, and the general feel). I do have a few minor picks with this car: 1) The phone integration is nice but it should also allow for audio to be played across the same connection that way there's no need for a AUX cable to come out of the glove box and lay in the car. 2) This may just be because my C63 has the added performance package (that includes racing brakes on top of many other improvements), but the brakes squeak when I stop slowly at a light (maybe about 30%-40% of the time) and only if they are not warmed up yet (which requires highway driving). I live in downtown Seattle and have to deal with many lights before I get on the highway and it's pretty frustrating. I took the car to the dealership that I made the purchase at and they said that the brakes are intended to handle crazy braking at extreme speeds and the squeaking is just a part of it (the manual that comes with the car even talks about the squeaking that may occur)? Other than those minor things I give this car two big thumbs up, I get a grin on my face every time I drive this beast.
