Well I didn't mean you as in YOU, but you as in subjective you. Does that clear it up?

All I'm saying is a person has to be pretty dumb to drive the way they did.

BTW...Bum Man, love the avatar. LOL

This is another review saying M3 is more comfortable ride than C63.
To me its a mystery why MB dont offer adaptive suspension for C63. Isnt that an extra option for the normal C-class?

Stiffer suspension is the best/cheapest shortcut to improved handling (if nothing else, the notion of improved handling). Next time they wil have to work on everything else.

When it comes to 0-100 km/h times, most European magazines SUCK. I know that in the German magazines I completely skip the 0-100 km/h part because I usually get the impression that they're quoting factory times.

0-100 times are overrated anyway so it doesnt bother me much.

I know, only people who have no clue about cars will tell you that 0-100 km/h is "everything".

Point is that most European magazines always get terrible 0-100 km/h times. I tend to trust American (and EVO) when it comes to this stuff.

Very true, but then again, to me the 0-100 times are not that interesting. They tell you more about the driver and if the car is 4wd, rwd or fwd than anything else. The later part is quite easy to find out whitout making banzai launches...

Agreed.

I was racing yesterday against a Saab 93 1.8T and a Nissan Qashqai on the way home from work with working colleagues and not once did we stop the cars and raced from standstill to 100km/h

We drove from around 80km/h to 160km/h

the best thing is that the Saab driver is a female
