AMG CLE 53
GT 43 vs CLE 53

Please a truly advise.
I live in Colombia, the only GT model available is the 43. I have an AMG CLE 53. Is it worth the upgrade?? Would I feel I am in a different car?
Thanks a lot

Are you experiencing problems with the CLE 53? The CLE 53 might be (did not check the specifications) lighter and more nimble-ish. I think the CLE 53 is still the best all rounder especially if you compare the C192. You aren't talking about the older platform GT 4 door right? That said there might be performance improvements with the C192 given it is meant to be even more sport oriented.

CLE 53. Looks good and is the highest performance model in GLE since there is no 63.

GT 43 is lowest entry level GT and its body narrower than GT55 and GT63 and it has less power than CLE 53

i wouldn’t buy a 4 cylinder AMG for a model that has a V8 in the hierarchy.

GT43 doesn’t sell and it is in similar situation like C63S 4 cylinder.

don’t settle for mediocre option just because the bast option is not available.

They might release CLE 63 V8. I am worried if this happens as its performance might be similar if not better than our obese GT 63 coupe!

No problems at all. Really happy indeed, although it is kind of heavy.
I am talking about the 2 door coupe. The only one sold here in Colombia
