C32 AMG Vs. C320

hi, im new to this forum, this is not a performance contest between the 2 cars, be merely a breakdown between the differences of the 2, i am helping a friend decide on which car to buy, i like the C32 AMG a LOT, i drove one yesterday and it is an amazing car, i just need a breakdown of what the AMG has that the 320 doesnt have, all the features and technologys, and anything there is to make a valid arguement that the C32 is the car he should choose, because IMO its better than just your average C class, its unique in its own way. thanks for your help!

If you can afford it and don't mind driving an automatic, get the C32. Better brakes, better suspension (even over the C320 sport), and way more engine.

The C320 sports sedans and coupes are very fine automobiles though and can be had with a manual transmission.

it has to be an automatic car, a manual transmission is unfortunately out of the question, after driving the C32, the automatic in no way deprives you of the driving experience, its awesome.

okay...I have a suggestion. Just go grab one of them 2003 or 2004 C-class brochure from the dealership. All the standard and optional features are list on there near the last few pages of it.

AND have your friend come down and drive both for himself.

when my friends asked me what should they get for a car. I usually just tell them the pros and cons of both car and tell them to decide for themself because I'm not the one that's getting a new car. Same case with you and your friend, let your friend decide for himself.
