visually the cars don't differ much, sure. Once you drive them. Even the difference between c300 and c43 are miles apart. One is at least twice as visceral than the other.

When I was jumping ship from Audi 4 years ago I test drove a c300. Was coming from a 2013 Audi S4 - so was going to effectively downgrade. I quite enjoyed the car. I could pin it and it would do what I asked. I then hopped into a c450 and had a grin from ear to ear. It was even better than the S4 I was coming out of and I had to go for it over the c300 just knowing I'd regret not doing so. The c300 ownership would have been mundane - but effective. The c450 ownership gave me quite a few headaches but it eventually made up for it in the long run. I'm back in another C43 now and have no regrets.

You are coming from a different perspective from the get go though. Owning a cab is entirely different. I, personally, would not own a cab because they are heavier and have less structural strength than the coupe/sedan counterparts which in turn compromise performance. I'm not one of those people that value the luxury of having the top down, especially in a commuter car.

Different strokes for different folks.

and the other 4 cylinders and 200hp

​​​​​​Do you have the same diffuser? Same exhaust tips? Does your car sound or perform like a C43?. Do you have the AMG bucket seat? The answer is no. I am not sure why are you comparing a standard car to an AMG. Just be happy of what you got as it is really a nice looking luxury car. People have different taste and needs in cars. Each to his own.

Nice car seat you got. I got a 2015 C200 AMG line upgrading to a C43 when I save some money 🤷

These are gorgeous and the saddle brown is perfect with the red IMO.
Unfortunately for me, these seats fvc|< up my back after more than an hour. So I had to pass on them. It's not a problem with the seats, they are great. The problem is my back

This is what a real engine sounds like.

(use good speakers for the hum)
