The best all around vehicle I have ever had.
This car has it all. Sports car performance in a sedan with all wheel drive. It has several driving modes that you can adjust to whatever you want or need. Economy/Comfort/Sport/Sport Plus and Individual. One minute it?s a luxury sedan the next minute a powerhouse sports car. I recommend the 18 inch wheels over the optional larger 19 inch wheels to reduce the likelihood of damage on rougher roads and pothole prone areas.

Most Fun and Expensive Toy I have
Wonderful car to drive in good condition roads. It's powerful and fun to drive. Actually, I would say it's over powerful, and you can outrun around 90% of the cars in road. Not as comfortable as the C63, but a lot cheaper than the C63 as well. If you don't want to drive crazy 24/7, but fell bored about the 2.0T C class. Enjoy the amazing AMG exhaust sound, but can't afford the C63. This will be an wonderful choice for you.

It came through for me!!
I was looking for an elegant car with a certain comfort and speed I like. Coming from a CLS 550 with all the extras, that wasn't an easy find! Once I looked at the convertible, white, two toned Carmel and black interior, I was sold!! The Fact that it is an AMG made the deal done. It's almost as hot as me!!! Love it for now......

Amazing
This car far exceeds my expectations. You think the C class is the lowest level but the AMG, they took all the styling and upgrades from the S class and put it into this car. It is so much nicer than the E400, which is what I went in looking for. I was so impressed, I bought it on the spot and I was not even really looking to buy a mercedes, I was just comparing it to the other convertibles I was already deciding on. So many options, well worth the price. The performance and styling is stellar. Well done Mercedes!

Sportiest car I've ever owned
I have the sedan. Drives like a real sports car with a firm suspension and handles extremely well. Great exhaust sounds, even without the extra $1250 for the sports exhaust performance package. The interior is very well done as well. And the AMG 43 engine gets just the right amount of acceleration. It's not C 63 crazy, but still lots of pick up. Overall a great buy.

Interior fit and finish is an A+++
So far the C43 does not disappoint! Interior cabin is simplistic and refine, tons of features and w/ a short 101 tutorial I am feeling confident w/ driver amenities. I did add the exhaust option and it has been the best bang for my buck! The roar of the AMG engine & exhaust is incredible when able to open this car up! Coming from previous Audi S4 & S6 this was a fantastic decision going back to the Mercedes family.

Intoxicating exhaust noises and acceleration!
I had a C250, and though I loved the fit finish and look, it was gutless with crazy turbo lag. I test drove the C43 sedan, and was hooked. The xxxxx out acceleration and intoxicating exhaust noises perfectly make use of the 9 speed transmission. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to flog this car. Handle great and goes like stink. And believe it or not was a hella value over the German competitors. WAY more for the money. I can't stop smiling and get out grinning every time. Fastest car I've ever owned.
