Mercedes-AMG GLC 43

What you'll like:

• A performance-oriented car that can also be your daily driver
• Coupe-SUV shape is quite the differentiating factor. Stands out from the regular crop of cars
• 416 BHP, 2.0L petrol provides exciting performance (0-100km/h in under 5 seconds)! 9-speed AMG Multi-Clutch transmission is lightning quick
• Excellent handling package – Mature suspension in comfort mode and tight in Sport+ mode
• Premium quality interiors, sporty seats, filled with technology
• Loaded with features like 15 speakers, 710W Burmester sound system, head-up display, transparent bonnet, active parking assist and more
• 5-star NCAP rating, top-notch safety kit & a suite of electronic aids to keep you safe

What you won't:

• Won’t be cheap. Typical CBU pricing
• Coupe roofline has its disadvantages – limited rearward visibility and less headroom for rear passengers
• 20-inch wheels or the optional 21-inch wheels have thin tyre sidewalls. Makes the ride stiff and you have to be careful on bad roads
• Some missing goodies such as cooled seats, Level 2 ADAS, full-size spare tyre (has a space saver tyre) etc.
• The back seat is more suitable for 2 healthy adults and a child. Not 3 healthy adults
• Heavier adults will find the front seats too snug
