United Kingdom 2019 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Santorini Black
C63 AMG

Ever since I drove one of these I have loved the noise and performance. They are reasonable money at 2-3 yrs old with low miles on.

Anyone had one and are they any good? I found my M5 to be very sensitive, literally, there was always some sensor tripping the car into limp home mode (all under warranty luckily).

What are these like to live with? Discovery 4 HSE

If you're talking about the 6.3 V8, then I can't see you having any problems.

We have the E55 and love it. Masses and masses of low-down easy power and torque. A very liveable day-to-day car. Very placid but really lights up when needed.

The 6 cylinder versions were highly understated, but an AMG needs a V8. Mr. Green Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

What's the real world MPG on these things?

Can't say for the C63, but our E55 has a day to day MPG of around 17 yet does an easy 27 on the motorway. Si. <This is my name.

My brother has just picked up a new C63 Saloon and if very happy with it. They are doing some impressive contract hire deals currently. I think he is paying under £600pcm.

Sounds awsome and goes very well indeed. The only thing is that apart from 3 more tailpipes it doesn't look different enough to a 220 CDI.

They sound awesome. However you have owned an M5 - The c63 cant touch it in so many areas so i think you may be disapointed. Stick with the rangie mate Thumbs Up L405 4.4 SDV8 Santorini/Black VSE

Had one, was disappointed. Sounds great and has power, but all I found myself doing was going sideways and sliding around. It can be a dangerous car.

Fuel consumption is VERY bad.

Got rid after a month.

My old boss has one on personal lease at about £580pm. Looks and sounds great, but with an M3 available for £500ish pm on a personal deal, I know where my money would go...
