I moved from the ISF to the c63! Hands down the 63 is way more car than the ISF! Don't get me wrong, I loved my ISF, but it is no comparison to the 63!

I am debating now to upgrade my 2010 to a 2012 63. But looking at other options.

If I were to get a C63 it would have to be the Black version. Either way, the Benz is way out of my price range, in terms of MSRP and repair/maintenance costs!! For the same money I would just buy a GT-R, hook it up and call it a day.

You really can't go wrong with either car. Both are absolute beast of cars in their own right. Show us what you buy when you get it.

Don't know about the USA, but in Canada the car costs the same. Granted the perf pack does require a bit more maintenance cost because of the LSD and premium techs. The BS is way more money, but I would take a BS over a gtr any day. Both are out of my budget.

Thinking of down sizing to something else, but after owning a c63, it is a hard pill to swallow to go to something like an STI or 5.0 mustang. Not sure what else is out there to choose from. I need a sedan. Don't like Cadillac or BMW. Or anything else American. So it really only leaves Lexus or Audi. Or just stick with my MB!

I see more C63 on the street than ISF, so i would choose ISF over C63, simple as that.

This IS true. If you want more unique, stay ISF. If you want a better performing car, go C63!

For the price, my pre-owned IS-F swayed me to purchase as oppose to a pre-owned C63. Not to mention the standard features list is longer on IS-F vs pre-owned C63

Did you also ask this in the mbworld threads?

What's wrong with comparison threads? You so busy it takes up your time. If you are not interested, don't post

I have an IS-F and a p30 c63 w/ a Eurocharged tune. The IS-F and c63 are two very similar cars; they are in the same segment after all. Upon reflection, I should have opted for something else rather than the c63. I have no complaints about it - the car is quick, responsive, and classy (there is definitely less of a boy-racer feel to it). But, since I also own the IS-F, given that the two are arguably crafted with the same level of precision and quality, the minor differences in aesthetics simply isn't enough to justify buying a c63 if I had not purchased one yet. In my opinion, the c63 would be redundant. If I had the opportunity to go back in time, I would definitely have opted for a GT-R.


Quick Reply: Lexus IS-F or MB C63 AMG
