Seems like the Mercedes C63 AMG estate has a bit of breathing space. Why? Because if you’re in the market for a circa-£50k muscle estate, you’re options are seriously limited. BMW failed to come through with the M3 Touring and there’ll be no RS4 Avant this time (just the V6 S4 Avant and RS5 coupe), leaving you with the option of upsizing to the M5 or RS6 Touring V10s, or taking your life in your hands with a sub-£40k deal on the Chrysler 300C SRT-8 or a very random punt on an Aussie-import VXR8 estate. See what we mean?

Isn’t that because nobody wants a gas-guzzling people lugger?

Quite possibly. But there’s still – albeit greatly reduced – demand for performance saloons, so the C63 estate’s extra versatility could be just the ticket for petrolhead dads and active types. Of course, all the stuff we loved about the C63 saloon is present and correct too: the sure-footed, fun-to-exploit chassis; the refined and quick seven-speed auto; those brilliantly supportive bucket seats; and, last but not least, the frankly amazing 6.2-litre V8.
