There is something to be said when you drive a nice luxury coupe such as the
2013 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe. This car tells others that you are either a
well to do professional that likes to wrap it up or that you are an empty nester
looking to drop those keys into a bowl in the hopes that someone more attractive
picks it out. What I am trying to say through this bizarre analogy is that a
coupe symbolizes freedom and these coupes symbolize badass looks with a little
bit of performance stuffed under the bonnet. From a 1.8L to a 6.3L there is fuel
efficiency and then there is speed.
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C-250 Coupe starts at $37k and offers the Turbo 1.8L.
With the 4 banger you get 201 hp and 31 mpg’s on the highway through a 7-speed
automatic transmission. Good gas mileage but not good performance. If you or
daddy can fork out $42k you can get the 2013 Mercedes-Benz C- 350 Coupe that
sports a 3.5L V6 that produces 302 hp. Fuel economy drops but only to 28 mpg on
the highway. If you want the muscle car tire melting ability then you need to
look at the 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe that pumps out 451 hp thanks to its
monster 6.3L AMG V8. The AMG C63 gets you from 0-sexy in 4.4 secs. The problem
with all that fun is that you are only going to get 19 mpg on the highway if and
only if you can keep your foot off the gas pedal, which is impossible. The AMG
C63 comes at a price of $61k but hey it’s an AMG. If you have more money then
you can go for the AMG C63 Performance Special Edition or for the Black Edition
but that’s top secret.
