Buyers Remorse ?

Hey everyone! As the title suggests(specifically the C43 W206) is anyone having any type of buyers remorse? Now that the C63se and cle53 are starting to come out in the wild and the MB configurator is up for both vehicles anyone have regret not waiting? Full transparency, I lowkey regret buying the C43 a little. I love the car and everything it has to offer but i keep looking at the CLE and wish I would’ve held off on the c43 and purchased the CLE53 instead smh

CLE is not a real AMG car. It's AMG enhanced. Meaning they take MB regular engine and do some minor tweaks. Same with suspension.
AMG 43 is a real AMG with AMG developed engine, transmission and suspension parts. C43 will always outhandle CLE on the track.

I don't think the CLE53 will be as dynamic as the C43. I also think I might prefer the more basic transmission in the CLE53 compared to the wet clutch in the C43.
