c63 coupe or sedan.

Everyone is saying c63. My only two concerns are gas and winter performance. Can anyone attest to either. This car will be driven daily around the southern Ontario area

While I greatly enjoy the technology implemented into the F30... I'm not a big fan of the interior. Additionally the S5 will offer the DCT equivalent for Audi.

I'm a little concerned on the C63's winter performance. Can anyone attest to this? I am currently driving my A5 on Blizzak WS-60s.

Sounds like the S5 fits your situation.

With the S5 changing to the supercharged V6 and dual-clutch transmission, it really transforms that car.

If you already have a 535xi why not drive that? :S

Wife drives that one around. Not going to jump around that risky territory. I also wanted something more fun as a daily... The 535... Albeit a quick sedan... Feels like I'm driving around a big boat.

I've driven a friends C63 sedan in the snow but that was for fun rather than as a commute. It was on winter tires and it was very predictable and extremely fun. It will take some getting used to from a quattro as it drives differently but after a month or two of getting to know the car I think you'll get a hang of it and have lots of fun. I didnt really pay attention to fuel consumption but my friend is always complaining so it cant be good, he does say the noise and fun make it all worth it though.
