Nice! Although I think you're gonna miss the MX-5. This shouts about it's features and V8, the MX-5 shouts about everything it can do without and still provide it's driver with what petrolhead driving is all about. Enjoy it!
Bit of a tank after the light and nimble MX5, and of course you can't put the roof down. Nice sound though. It'll be a bit harder (OK a LOT harder!) on the wallet, but if it's what blows your skirt up - great!
As a complete package it looks to be one hell of a machine. I like the exterior, aggressive but understated, interior looks plush, engine sounds awesome. You must feel pretty good rolling around in this! Enjoy. Cheers, Glenn.
Just found your channel, this is an awesome car. Your presenting style is right up my street so I think I'll be watching more of you and the C63 :) I can see a lot of the quirks in this car in my lowly CLK200.
Glad to have you on board mate. Love the shape of the CLK, went in a CLK 6 cylinder diesel once and it span the rears pulling onto the motorway.. loved it!
Just noticed that your black AMG emblem on the back is the pre-facelift one with two angled legs on the A. The correct AMG logo on the facelift W204 is the new AMG logo like you have in the door sills with 1 straight and one angled leg.
Those black Performace Plus wheels look great on a white car. I just bought a 2012 sedan in Obsidian black. It had those same wheels on it but the combination looked horrid so I bought some aftermarket nice Koya SP03 18" (semi forged) in Silver and that just transformed the car. Everyone who has seen it thinks it was a top choice. The original wheels were not in good condition either so they had to be changed in any case. Cheers from Perth, Western Australia.
Nice video,just about to buy one in the next few weeks,been waiting for two years,just lost my mum (dad 5 years ago ) and going to treat myself having just turned 50 ! Keep up the great videos and enjoy your car.
So different from the MX5 - not my choice, but I hope you enjoy your high speed period in life - the only roads I ever drive on, have a maximum speed limit of 70mph or less - but most blokes go through these phases in their early years, at least it's not a motor bike.
Congrats on the motor, not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal. Interested to see what content you make with this other than the usual decat and remap route..
Beautiful machine,I've always loved a fast coupe ever since having a ride in my friends dad's BMW M635CSI when I was 12 and been blown away by how fast and comfortable it felt compared to most other cars in 1989. Your new car will be fantastic on some sweeping roads with fast bends and crossing continents quickly, I would love to see some videos along those lines? Still think my Mr2 roadster will be more fun on the tight twisties though 😉. Looking forward to the new content.
Maybe you could make some videos where you do some advanced driving lessons, or go to a skid pan etc. Not only great content, but a car like this could get you into trouble really quick. I'm still planning to do similar, partly just for the experience and partly so I can become a better, safer, quicker driver with skills to push hard, and get out of trouble if I need to! I did a BikeSafe course with Suffolk Police, and not only was it loads of fun, it taught me a few very helpful bits and bobs too.
A great car with a great sound track, a word of warning, a neighbour of ours had one he was a bit of a dick and became an even bigger dick showing off in it to his mates.
Apparently he is some kind of AMG legend. The plaque actually says his name (and I can’t read his signature) Uwe Gamber. I believe he still works at AMG and is one of the best. I read somewhere that customers request/wait for his engines on the production line.
Love watching all your vids. But got to be honest, I'm not really a fan of the new motor. Undoubtedly a monster of an engine but it's just a bit too lairy and in your face. I don't think you'll have as much fun as the nc as you can't really push it to the edge unless you're ok with putting your life on the line and you'll be hesitant because in the back of your mind you'll know how much it's worth. Sorry to be negative, it was just my feelings a few years back when I did a similar thing. 😁 Hope you have fun though 👍
You can never be scared of pushing an automobile (under 500 whp) unless you’re in high school or a highly incompetent driver. You can’t drive a little Mazda forever !
@@6.3amgt70 if all you do is drive in straight lines then no it's not scary as you put it. But what I'm getting at is that I don't think you can take a car of that power and weight to its limits of traction in cornering on public roads with as much confidence that you can control it and not total it, as the mx5. For me, that's where all the fun is.
Miata to AMG? My understanding is that AMGs are not the most reliable or affordable to repair.. how much does this thing weigh? Why not just get a Porsche at this point? Hope you are happy- certainly not the route I think I will be taking after my NC
Its fast, it sounds cool, but it is ugly , horrible color. And the steering wheel is on the wrong side lol, as long as you like it , that is what counts.
You did miss the point I didn’t say about being in one or driving one “nice block”. I said the looks are soulless and pretty much the same stuff that’s been doled out for the last 20 years by these 3 company’s. The last thing that I can recall that moved me visually was the 8series. The main point is they are very same across the board
All I can recommend is healthy diet and weekly exercise. Don’t overwork and make sure that friends and family come first. Sudoku or a good crossword book helps me to switch off. Don’t forget early nights and a big breakfast, it’s the most important meal of the day. A happy belly is the key to a happy life 👌
legally Xenon headlights must have a headlight wash and self levelling system fitted.. I’m not a fan of your new characterless German sheep mobile…. Enjoy! 😝…
Who didn’t see that coming?
You couldn't of gone much further from the mx5 😂
Great choice, fantastic motor. I love my MX5 but would equally like to upgrade my C Class Sport to the C63 👍🏼
Me!
✋
Not in a million years. Sorry, I am not a fan of Mercs, but hey, if you like them, that's all that matters.
Mate, what a car. Congratulations! This is going to be interesting to follow
Still a few cylinders shy of the 7!
Enjoy. But I'm not getting rid of my MX5 NC anytime soon :)
Nice! Although I think you're gonna miss the MX-5. This shouts about it's features and V8, the MX-5 shouts about everything it can do without and still provide it's driver with what petrolhead driving is all about. Enjoy it!
The V8 sounds great 👍
One hell of a change but what a car. Worth it for the soundtrack alone! Can’t wait to see more vids on this.
That is such a crazy exhaust note. Have fun, that thing is going to be a blast.

What !!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations dude. What a car. That is stunning mate. 😍
Big departure from the MX-5! Looks great though, I hope you take it out on track!
Exceptional choice!!! Hope to see a lot of content with this !
My fav is e39 m5 and this was the best competitor but yeah this is a much newer version
I’ve just bought an obsidian black 2011 face lift C63 AMG edition 125 this weekend! the sound of them are mega!

What an absolute weapon 👌🏼👌🏼
Wow you went upmarket, Fancy new expensive car, Did you win the Lottery?
That thing thing looks mean😂, total oposite of a miata.A great upgrade nontheless!

There’s a reason people want these over the new bi-turbo v8 💪🏼

It’s a monster piece of kit, you won’t regret it!
Congrats on a beautiful beast U have there
Undoubtedly a masterpiece of an engine, worth experiencing whilst we can.
You'll miss the light weight and nimbleness of the MX-5.
Good car 👏👏 but mx5's are more than just a car it' has a great community following so I'm sticking with mine.😊
Yessss !!!
Looking forwards to your video on running costs.
Nice looking muscle car, I'm slightly jealous.
So different from the MX5 - not my choice, but I hope you enjoy your high speed period in life - the only roads I ever drive on, have a maximum speed limit of 70mph or less - but most blokes go through these phases in their early years, at least it's not a motor bike.
The Mx-5 was cooler, sorry. Congrats on the new ride!

Video 1 of mourning the MX-5
😭😭😭😭😭
Congrats with your new car!
One of my dream car, but won't be able to buy it with the taxes we have in Denmark. So I keep my MX-5 NC :)
What an awesome car!
Nice!
Quite a different type of car! Very nice though and thank god it’s not yet another BMW on RUclips.

Love this idea! Went in with an advanced driving instructor at my old work and it was awesome!

Awesome machine, and you need to get the big power thing out of your system, BUT...I think you're going to miss your MX-5.
Maybe, but I had it for 2 years and it was time to move on. I can always buy another one 🤷♂️
Nice man! Opposite direction from me but I love it! I got a 2011 e90 m3 😂 both started at nc miatas, now we’re rivals!
Ah cool! Always liked the e9*’s! Should do a comparison
🚀
Cant wait to see it on the track. Has Dave had a go in it yet. I like his driving. Why would you want to drive the Golf when you have that Merc.
Puh, you went from my favourite car to one of my least favs. But im glad you are enjoying this car. Wish you the best future with this one!
Made by the same guy who made my engine, i have an oil leak too at the moment, dont know yet where from. He made the engines for the sls too i think

Thanks for the comment! Up to now, the MX-5 didn’t have the excitement of the C63. I wish everyone could experience it!

Agreed, I would personaly go for a 997 carrera but everyone has their preferences...
Maybe a Porsche is on the cards for the future. But Porsche parts cost more than C-class parts 😂
Now people will move out of your way on the motorway…😎 And it's beautiful!
It's all gone very quiet.
Join the 4.5K people that follow me on Instagram! I post on my story every day 😊👍
What? You've said goodbye to your mx5 ?
You young lads are so fickle
😥
The tyres were £500 each for the rears when I had one 6 years ago .
Think you got ripped off mate 🤣
I’ve just had 2 Michelin pilot sports 19s put on the rear of mine for just over £400
Awesome car dude how much did you pay for it ?
OMG.
Smart 😊 LSD?
I think you will stain your toushie regardless driving this car mate
Ahhh man, no more convertible fun in the MX-5 😔 bad times...
6.2L V8 fun from now on! Incredible times ahead!
Its fast, it sounds cool, but it is ugly , horrible color. And the steering wheel is on the wrong side lol, as long as you like it , that is what counts.
You forgot *expensive* and *flashy* 👌
@@CarThought kinda like my girlfriend lol, loved your Mazda, it might take me some time lol , great video as always.
Hmm 3 months before switches cars again? I’ll put 200 dogecoin on it lol
I’d say 6 weeks after seeing my fuel prices 😬
Nice block but like all merks, bmw and Aldi’s no sole and boring looks. They all look the same yea a fin here a defuser there but it’s MEH-Sadies
No sole.. 😂 anyone who says this has never been in one!

Shades perched on your hair, white/fake carbon paint job - all a bit naff. MX fun much classier.
Damn it. I even changed out of my Tommy Espadrilles and Armani white cotton polo to try and fool any snobs! 🤫
legally Xenon headlights must have a headlight wash and self levelling system fitted..
I’m not a fan of your new characterless German sheep mobile…. Enjoy! 😝…
Thanks Simon, i didn’t know that. I wouldn’t call it characterless myself, it breaks traction in 3rd gear 🤷♂️
