C63 AMG / M3 / RS4

C63 estate.

I think of the three it's got the most personality. I'd consider the BMW, the Audi isn't even on the page. I've just never understood the appeal with Audis.

Driven two out of the three (not driven the AMG) the choice would depend on what I wanted the car for. As an all rounder, the Audi would be my choice. If I wanted something more for fun, I'd go for the M3.

M3 for me, but haven't been in any of the others.

White M3 coupled with that V8 and a competant driver out in the country really is something special. Annoying that it was my 22yr old cousin who was siad driver and owner

Mercedes for me. The most refined and best looking of the three, therefore much better suited for use as a daily. Audi last place by miles as they just do not do anything for me.

Who's the lucky lady

I would go with the intention of getting a 4 door M3 before I left the house but would head straight to the Audi dealership to pick up a RS4. No idea why but the way the RS4 looks would be enough for me.

Damnit they hold their value well though.

Still fetching 50k when list price was under 60k, even with options

Hence barely run in 59 plate examples are barely any more

Guess the pricing will come down when the new model with double clutch gearbox (as found in the new E63 amg) comes out.

RS4, unsure why just because really.

No, Mercedes are for cool people.

Very hard working and has good business sense, with some luck thrown in as well.

Will take more notes next time

C63 - too glitzy, stupid engine
RS4 - too conservative, boring

M3 all day. wat a car!

BUT... SL55 AMG (old shape SL's)........truly the best looking things ever!!

C63 with the performance package, in black. Done job

TBH Lexus seems a good idea, good handling, reilable, looks good and in theory should drive well enough for most people not to care.

i know everyone hates top gear but top gear did a test comparing them and the m3 won with c63 second. imo rs4 is a class below them both however. Judging by the top gear episode if u get a c63 i hope you like buying tyres

Skii · 2 Nov 2009 at 09:15

M3, by a whisker.

Matt82 · 2 Nov 2009 at 09:42

amg... 6.2 v8. comedy engine size

Spunj99 · 2 Nov 2009 at 09:47

I love the C63's, there's one in the car park here at work and it looks bloody lovely in its blue/slate-ish colour!

Also love the IS-F, sound lush and by far the most discreet of the 4, looks-wise.

Banny · 2 Nov 2009 at 09:48

RS4 for me

miniyazz · 2 Nov 2009 at 09:57

How does the fuel efficiency compare?
