Guys- anyone have the new E 63 wagon? The lease on my existing E 63 sedan is up in 6 months and contemplating the wagon, any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks

 

I have a 2014 e63s wagon. I have 4 kids so I had the third row seat installed using parts from an e350. That is the main reason I bought it. I also have a 2013 M5 which I only kept bc my lady drives it sometimes. My short review is the amg has a slightly torquier motor but I hate the slow shifting gearbox. The M5 has a great gearbox and is much more fun to hoon. The amg steering feels lighter (and more connected) which I think makes the car feel smaller than the M5. Both iDrive and Comand have plenty of deficiencies. I also have a 458 and a cup car so I wasn't looking for all out speed in my daily but both cars are stupid fast for their size, weight and luxury. While I've modded almost every car I've owned, these are both cars where it doesn't feel like the chassis needs more power.

 

Thanks- still deciding what to get though, panamera GTS is an alternative as is tesla S but all very different cars. I agree about the AMG transmission though.
