Okish entry level amg

If you consider thinking that this cheapest amg wouldn't be as good as it competitor you would be wrong It's because it's got the luxury of c class plus the performance of amg Pros It's snappy really snappy Super comfortable considering a amg Great fuel economy Signature amg look Cons Might be a deal breaker it's doesn't feel a amg It's doesn't have the grunt That bull shit rev limiter and plus the 4 cylinder it's not sporty.

My overall experience was good. I will give 5 out of 5

Last month I drove this car approx 100 km. This car gives a good comfort and a good space. Engine performance was excellent according to my experience.. at last time car value for money. Thanks
