I totally agree on above , unless it’s a dealer warranty it’s a waste of time , there is always some excuse not to pay , the only ones that can be worth while if that’s what you are looking for is AA or RAC warranty , they are normally capped at a max of 500£ and the car had to be recovered so most repairs it’s more of a contribution rather than a claim payment

A lot of the C63 owners use and recommend Motoreasy.
Really seem to rate it and get the same level of service as a standard Merc one at about half the price.
I actually daily a C63 AMG and have a warranty simply because it has the potential to bankrupt me if it goes wrong, and any claim I've had has been easy as pie.
Was the same with my old M3 under BMW warranty, have to say that was the best customer service I've ever had from a manufacturer.
Ford on the other hand....would never have another after the debarcle with my Mk3 RS.
Unless you have a relatively new Impreza I agree it's not worth the money as it won't cover much especially modified bits.

Regarding the c63......didn't they have piston issues which Merc wouldn't honour under the warranty? I vaguely remember reading about a guy with a knackered c63 which they wouldn't fix and left him with a 20k engine bill. Believe it only affected certain years

Later cars had a revised design; tbh you don’t hear of many major problems other than the car’s appetite for fuel and tyres
.
This year’s renewal was a tad steep at £1330 so looking at Motoreasy equivalent which is £850!
My old C63 was pretty hard on the rear tyres and very tail happy, OK, I know some of it is driver related.
The E63 is totally different for whatever reason, definitely has way more grip, OK, quite a lot wider tyres, but doesn't want to seem to destroy them in the same fashion as the C63, and I'm talking of them being driven in a similar style.

Had pilot super sport on the C63 when it was sold, grip definitely better then the conti's.
Fronts were still conti from when I bought it (all 4 tyres were replaced before I bought it)
I only put maybe 8K on the C63 in about 18 months.
