Much softer than alot of other German makes Down side to that is the fact they will out handle you on the bends, but then the straights

Fits with the feel of previous generation of AMGs hot rods rather than track cars.

I'm not a small lad in hieght and statcher and I recently did a 300 mile drive. B roads (the lakes and back). No aches and pains afterwards.
