AMG Riding experience

I remember ,2weeks later I had experienced a short drive of AMG,I love its ride i.e;spellbound,and with an awesome interior. But if we take about its price its quiet high for an average indian people,and a major think that I had not like about is that it's fuel efficiency,I say it's engine is with a huge power,. But overall it is spellbound.
