Mercedes C Class Estate

The Mercedes C-Class wagon dresses Mercedes refinement in a sensible, practical package, marrying a sleek estate silhouette with a plush, high-quality cabin that feels more premium than its badge implies. It quietly soaks up motorway miles and cartloads of family kit with composed handling and effortless comfort — a clever alternative to an SUV for buyers who still like to steer.

To me, the CLA's interior and front end are tasteless and an affront — the C estate is clearly much more attractive.

Mercedes AMG GT

The Mercedes-AMG GT is a theatrical sports car with prowling looks and an aggressive exhaust note that announces its intentions the moment it fires up. It pairs ferocious performance with surprising everyday usability — a taut yet forgiving chassis and a cockpit that feels special — making sensible buyers suddenly very good at justifying indulgence.
