Quality and Reliability of AMG
After few Mercedes in the past, I have to say overall build quality and reliability has gone down in recent years.
Fit and finished of the car, even the C43 AMG is not that great at all.
Latest issue is replacement of front shocks just after 10,000km due to oil leak (service centre told me this is common issue for C43).
Perhaps only on high end model like AMG GT C will appreciate more drive enjoyment?

YMMV. 2017 with 69,000mi, map6 JB4, running E30 blend for 55k of the 69k miles, and hooned every day I drive it. I've done my own brakes and oil changes. I'll have an independent MB shop service trans and diff at 70k. My worst issues thus far...the plastic strip over the headliner light by the SOS button rattles, glovebox door squeaks, and had 3 cracked wheels before I finally got a new set at 60k. The absolute horror. /s
