Rumor has it the the 2025 AMG c63 coupe will be a V8. Poor sales on the 4-door c63 4 cylinder have caused a rethink at Mercedes H.O. apparently. Will you sell the Aston Martin? The interior is underwhelming IMHO.

It’s possible you’re missing an optional extra. I think it’s called traffic or road sign assist. A sensor reads speed signs rather than using a database.

@ABAUTOAMG6 күн бұрын
@ErwanYTube Hey Erwan, A ceramic coating is great but I’d avoid getting it done at a main dealer. I don’t want to knock main dealers but most simply don’t have the time to do it properly. You’re much better off getting it done by a professional detailer. They will take so much care and properly prep the car and the coating will be better and last much longer 👍
@ABAUTOAMG6 күн бұрын
Also it’s never too late. If anything now is a good time as a good detailer they will polish out any light scratches (ones that are hard to see) and swirl marks before they apply it and the car will look amazing. Il probably be having the Aston Martin done soon 👍

In the UK insurance is way cheaper on cars if you live in the what they consider a safe/nice area and have a good history without any accidents or claims. The premium varies drastically based on the your address and your claim/accident history.

Hi bud, do you know if the sport/performance exhaust is standard with UK models?
@ABAUTOAMG9 күн бұрын
On UK models it’s standard on the Coupe but a £1000 factory optional extra on the saloon and Estate. Best way to check is if it has the button. If it’s not got the performance exhaust the button is replaced by a power button for the center screen.

Do you have an exhaust button in the center console buttons? The exhaust was an optional extra so there's a lot of cars that don't have it. Best way to check is if you have the button. If you don't have the button it means you have the standard exhaust sadly.
