C43AMG or SLC43 AMG - Reliability

Hi,

i'm new to this forum. I just trying to save and buy an AMG coupe model. Not sure what to choose between C coupe 43 AMG and SLC43 AMG. What is their reliability? I read the forums, the one in 2010 says that C43 AMG is not really reliable. People said that the motor for C43 is solid but the trans is not good. I'm not sure whether it has been greatly improved and better or still the same (as it is 2010 post). Just ask for opinion. Thanks

Too early to tell on reliability. What are you talking about with a 2010 post? The C43 has only been on sale since 2016. The early 2000s C43 is a totally different car.

C43, GLS450
It also uses the exact same engine... I guess it all depends on how good of a robot built it.

I've been lucky without issues.

I don't advise buying a MB/BMW/Audi if you're concerned about reliability. The car should bring you enough joy that it doesn't bother you though!
