GLC43 AMG Should I buy one - faults?
Hi I am looking at a 2019 GLC43 AMG to buy, what should I look out for? Was really impressed with the power in Sport plus! Any advice appreciated.

Suggest getting a warranty and/or a reasonable and trustworthy mechanic -- it's not that these cars break frequently, just that wear items are ridiculously expensive at MB dealerships

Have just purchased it (wife's car) and driven it back from dealership. (160klms). Very pleased with it. Comes with a 2 year Mercedes-Benz warranty. So should be good.
