C63 or SL 63?

Hi guys. My apologies for starting another topic , while my previous topic "Need help configuring the C63" remains unsolved.

I am now tossing between the C and the SL 63. Still have about 2 -3 months before I pull the trigger. My main requirement is daily driving as my LP is my weekend car.
Now I now , DD = C63 . But the thing is , I really like the SL as well. Something about the bad boy image of a black SL 63 that attracts me .

Other than the obvious advantage of the C 63 being 2 additional doors and seats over the SL , I need some pro's and con's from owners and experts . Is the SL daily driveable and any other suggestions regarding what to choose? Please help.

Honestly, if you can go with the SL, do it. If you don't need the additional two doors that is. But if your gonna be hauling passengers all the time, I'd go with the C63, but in my eyes, they are two totally different beasts. I've owned an SL in the past and the car is definitely daily drivable. G'luck to which ever route you choose.

I would go for the c63 if I were you cause as I can see in your present cars list you have a 997 coupe which is a 2 door sports car which can be a dd just like the sl63.

I like the new redesign of the SL. Looks way better than the older ones, but there is a used SL65 in the for sale section for 62k. Big depreciation hit already taken and it's a beast.

If you're a big guy like me, get a C63. I have a SL500 and getting in and out of the car is not easy
