For roughly the same price, which one is best/most fun as a daily driver?

 

I vote the 63.

 

As a daily driver-- can either handle the snow halfway decently?

 

C63 all day!

 

The CTS-V is a "fun" car. The C63 is a monster, but will feel better as a daily driver. The CTS-V lacks interior finesse. So the question is: "do you want something fun" or a "daily driver"?

 

I think if you get the alcantara / Recaro upgrade the V is just as nice if not a little nicer and roomier than the C63. Also the Cadillac is a couple notches up as far as being modified and stock for stock performance.

 

I would go CTS-V

 

I love the C63, but the extra space in the CTS is quite attractive!

Plus, in the CTS, being a supercharged engine, you will have much more potential if you plan to modify it.

 

have the c63 and driven in a friends 07 or 08 cts-v I think the c63 is more fun

 

The new CTS-V is insane man.. it has 550hp and its a manual transmission. What 4 door car has that much power with a stick shift. Unreal.. I like Mercedes.. but I wouldn't hesitate, especially for the price point.

 

I test drove the CTS-V and was not impressed...it's quiet and although it may be slightly faster than a C63 (stock vs. stock) it certainly does not feel that way. The CTS-V is quite heavy and drives heavy. A C63 with only a flashed ECU is likely faster than a stock CTS-V.

 

C63 AMG = weighs less, looks slightly better (imo), sounds better (imo)

CTS-V = much better interior, more power, lower cost for more power gains, feels roomier


i would say GO DRIVE BOTH....that way you will know for sure which one works best for you.
to be honest, it would be a very hard choice.....but i don't think you can go wrong with either one!

 

C63, all the way! The CTS-V will not age well with it's polarizing design. Besides, I really dislike contemporary GM products.
