Most Helpful Review

Turning heads and taking names, all in a day's drive

Small but powerful easy to handle and go through narrow roads. Less colour options but black looks like a beast. Driver’s seat is so comfortable but it will be hard for people sitting behind because of less leg space. It’s an AMG so don’t expect on mileage but it will give you a great experience. It’s great for daily use and short travel. When compared to pricing it’s a little bit high but you will not be able to get an amazing powerful toy in less price range.

Amazing Luxury Package

The car is very underrated in the era of BMW & Mercs, Overall the package is outstanding, the interiors are class-leading plush leather & top-class fit and finishes, and 8 yr of a comprehensive warranty, and Lexus protection are additional cheery on the cake. The only thing is EMT, not sure how it would pan out over the years. Super excited to own the car & enjoy a trouble-free ownership experience.
