    Just bought a 2018 and you can stop worrying about market nonsense and badging. The C43 with AWD is actually more fun than the C63 on a twisty road. This is probably one of the best drop tops you can buy under 100K.

      @@starwarsfan-ye9hw Yep...now have the 2019 C43 cabriolet with a tune to 470 HP. A perfect driving machine in all kinds of weather. When a C63s gets 4matic, I'll certainly consider one!

    Whether the engine is built by one man or 43 of them, this car is great. Period.

      Agreed! And honestly it’s somewhat affordable. That’s what really matters too many.

    43 isn't a real AMG! end of the story!
    As far as I know it is based on Chrysler Pentastar engine
    ...and the cabriolet should be 63 just because the sound!

      The 43 has been a real AMG since 1998, also the engine isn't based on the Chrysler pentastar, this is pure benz and AMG tuning

    It is a lovely car....but...I have had to repair or replace 4 or 5 tires and have 2 wheels welded and now one replaced. A replacement wheel is $1150. I think the car is too heavy for a run flat or low profile tire. I've had several other cars with low profile or run flat tires and never had this problem before. It's very disconcerting as I feel uneasy about driving it out of town.
