Just remember you-re payment exec-segment prices for a B segment car, and that B-segment car is built to make money on its base model. These are extortionate cars but people are lapping them up! It-s these over-arching -pinnacle- models in the range are there to sell the lower ones and also to bump their prices up.
On top of that the number of driving modes means it-s basically digital management of the car literally between corners, can-t the engineers just design a passive system that actually works? Oh no wait, it-s the digital system they plug in to the basic models to make them seem developed for the price they are selling them at.

I know these cars are all about pedal to the metal and so on.
But why does this bloke only drive on picturesque country roads like in a TV commercial? What's the car like where people actually drive - like in a busy town? Will it behave like a ballerina in a close parking spot when you have to climb a kerbstone?
Now I can just guess what it might be like to rent for a day trip in Tuscany or on Mallorca.

Modern hot hatches don-t interest me anymore, sure that have lots of power and are fast but they are just boring. Gone are the days where they had different engine configurations, now they are just 2 litre 4 pot turbo and its rather boring. No longer are hot hatches really all that affordable which is sort of the point of a hot hatch.

Should of had 325-335hpninstead of 302.
If it really wants to beat contenders like the golf r (330hp in clubsport trim), audi s3 (305hp), megane rs ( 300hp)
Focus rs ( 350 hp), bmw m240i ( 328hp).

Wait for the real new AMG 4cyl - nothing beats a real AMG not overpriced VW-s (Audi) or BMW it just doesn-t) This on the other hand is a excellent Mercedes just not an AMG
