2019 Mercedes AMG C43 Coupe UK review
Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe 2019 UK review Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe 2019 review Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe 2019 Solid if slightly unspectacular, the C43 Coupe isn’t the sweetest AMG in its range. It could get away with that in other sectors it makes cars in (and that’s quite a lot these days), yet the C43 Coupe competes against probably the best car its biggest rival BMW M currently makes, the M2 Competition. The M2 Competition is one of those cars that comes along every now and then that makes you reappraise everything else that lines up alongside it. That’s bad news here for Mercedes-AMG, whose own C43 loses far more on the dynamic front to Munich than it gains with the comfort, quality and cross-country pace it trumps the BMW on.
