Great video! I bought one of these last year. Was looking at a Porsche 911 as well but for the same age (2017) I believe you get so much more car for your money and the sound is simply amazing.

Thanks! Definitely the sound and extra power make for more fun

8:41 Very good points. Funny that i thought about this last night. A C63 on first sight looks like a C-class which is available for a fraction of what you pay for a new AMG GT. (And you see the c-class everywhere here in Germany) But still a used AMG GT is not that much more expensive than a used C63...so yeah if you want an exclusive car this is a no brainer. Also i totally agree that the new GT version looks like a fat 911. The old proportions with the stupid long looking hood where the best part about this AMG GT.

Former 911 owner here - nothing wrong with the Porsche at all - too good if anything - but it does not stir your soul or passers by like the GTS can - and that's before you get to the sound - its annoying, it's deafening it's unnecessary and truly, truly, totally brilliant - when did you last see one? Servicing costs are about on par with Porsche too

@nelsonclub7722 good to know, thx!! I feel the Targa is one of the best looking Porsche, looks so classic. Ill enjoy the GTS another year, and then I'll search for Targa between 2015 - 2020. Unless a really good deal pops up sooner. Temptations 🙈

Great review. I agree with many of your points and its main rival being a 991. Also to consider in this price range in my opinion - a pair of dark horses - but the Lotus Emira and facelifted Jaguar F-Type
@Driver_886 ай бұрын
I need to get some F types on camera as well, considering they are now discontinued
@veryfitblondeguy2 ай бұрын
I had a F-type before my GTS..... To be honest, super fun car, but very small (I am 6'2) and interior felt cheap, and to be honest was kind of annoyed I had to adjust body panels in my own garage because of Jaguars poor craftmanship. HOWEVER.... the supercharged engine with the AWD is a ton of fun, but maxed it out on power around 675 horse with new pulleys. My GTS is now making 997hp on a mustang dyno with stock internals.

I was considering an AMG GT, but would have had to get a used one. My top dollar was $100k. I was concerned about the maintenance costs, eating away at my savings; Same goes for possibly a newer C63 or E63 V8s only. My E55 costs me an average of $3k a year. The reason I commented though is because I did get a Lotus Emira. So different, but checks all the right boxes.

I own two Mercedes and I love Benz but Benz is screwing everything up, so I decided not to buy anything past 2016. At least not beyond first gen AMG GTS.

You are not alone, in the New car C class segment I think they are losing a lot of sales to BMW currently
