Pics for attention only


Decided to upgrade from the w204 but I'm torn in between the 2016-2017 C43 AMG zero miles or 2012-2014 Porsche Panamera 30k-50k miles. Both are sexy cars but is the C43 better bang for the bucks? But it's also my chance to get into a Porsche! Building them as weekend cars btw.

If it were my choice I'd get the C43 Sedan, put on some Brabus Aero + Armytrix exhaust and call it a day.

I prefer RWD cars. I've also heard some bad things about the transfer cases in the Panameras and Cayennes. If you got a used P car, I would make sure there was a good warranty like CarMax or a CPO warranty. I'm sure the C43 will be a nice car too. I say drive both and see what you like. Or maybe get a w204 C63 (I am biased)!

How did I managed to miss that transmission problem! It's definitely a deal breaker if that's the case. Thanks! Couldn't be happier with the decision, now I can rest.

Your name kind of ring a bell, maybe wrong person. Did you work at sunrise auto in the South Bay?

c63 would be nice but got bored of looking at the w204 everyday.

mr.brightside

Nope, not me!

Chris is right, drive all three and see what you like most. Do more research into any issues involving all vehicles. I would honestly take the C63 > panamera 4s > C43. C43 felt like a 340i, I even liked the cla45 better tbh.

The panamera and C63 are a different level and class of vehicle.

Sounds just as bad as the BMW M4.

I hate to say it, but AMG has diluted the name by slapping AMG badges on every car for more money.

I.E C450 AMG, C43 AMG, GLA45 AMG, CLA45 AMG, SLC45 AMG.....

YUUUUP.

Lol, the C43 sounds miles better than the M4, even the 45's with the Turbo 4 sound decent against M I6 engine.

Pany for the win.
