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.

Has enough power for Indian roads

Bought the car from the Mumbai showroom in December 2023 and it has been a great journey since. Over 1 year of my ownership it has been the best experience. It has enough power for Indian roads and is a great pleasure to drive. The rear seat comfort is a bit on the low side but the engine and driving dynamics make up for it. All the Porsche staff are amazing to deal with and always there to help.
