Hi All,
I am a dyed in the wool Land Rover fan, and have been driving Range Rovers exclusively for the past 15 years. I've had all the variants and at the moment I'm in a beautifully high spec'd L405 (current shape) Vogue SE 4.4SDV8. It's a stunning car.
My favourite ones have always been the petrol Supercharged versions but they NEVER sound like an AMG. I have a friend who's had 2 C63s and the noise is awesome. It's an itch I feel I need to scratch.
I've never owned an MB, nor an AMG, so in a nutshell, am I being daft thinking of moving to a GLE? They simply don't have the luxury of the RR, or the toys and I don't think people give them a second look whereas the RR is a head turner (but no lovely V8 soundtrack).
Are AMG's reliable? Is it a sin to buy one out of warranty? There seem to be so many AMG's for sale with low miles on them even after 4 or 5 yrs, it makes me suspicious that they are as precious as my old M cars used to be.
Any buying advice is welcome, I know nothing about them, what the pitfalls are, common problem areas etc.
I have a billion questions but I will keep it short for now.
