    So far Great, not a single issue.

    So far Great, not a single issue. Love the carbon fibre all over the interior, racing seats looks amazing, drives bit hard on sport mode.

    Great performance so far!

    Good looking and great performance. Was looking for another 911, but when I saw this one it just had my name on it! Just stands out from everything on the road. So far outstanding to drive with plenty of power.

    Fantastic GT Styling and Performance

    Get in, buckle up and choose what you want to experience. Comfort mode gets you there in style and comfort. Switch to S+ as you arrive and it becomes a sexy fire breathing dragon thats commands attention!! Fast with class.

    I like this car more every time I drive it.

    Coming from a Porsche 911 Turbo after owning a string of Porsches it took a while to get used to the long hood of the GT. After a couple days I was comfortable and the car feels great and the size disappears around me the car makes me grin every time I drive it and that’s the objective when you purchase a sports car. Being able to open the baffles of the exhaust and make the car louder on demand is a great feature. You can drive this car like a race car or just sit back and let it drive like a luxury car.

    Incredible supercar value!

    The AMG GT S is the steal of the decade. It is a proper supercar at a mid-tier 911 price point. The interior and exterior are exquisite. The engineering and build quality are all AMG which shines through the entire car. As the only vehicle built 100% by AMG vs. supplying the engine, the racing heritage and intentional design to maintain its integrity at speed is obvious.

    Beautiful looking car but seats are appaulling

    Extremely good under high speed with lots of power. However the stiff suspension and poor seating makes this car dissatisfying to drive. A beautiful car to look at, but you never feel relaxed or comfortable to drive.

    Really fun but really skinny seats

    This car drives and corners amazingly. It looks great. Bystanders admire the car all the time. Visibility of its corners is poor. The seats are very hard and skinny. If you are 6' and 200# you are probably too wide for the seats and the bolsters are very hard.
