There's a lot to like with the Mercedes-2022 AMG GT 53 sedan. It's sporty, offers lots of trunk space, and is available with some of the best in-car tech and driver aids around. Unfortunately, the whole package doesn't work as well as some rivals. You can find four-doors that offer better performance, more utility and similar features for equal or less money, including from Mercedes-Benz itself.

2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S 2dr Coupe (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 7AM)
My 2016 AMG GT S. It has every performance upgrade that MB offers. A thinly disguised race car, not a sports car. Interior quality second to none. Braking like I didn't know was possible. Lines that remind me of the 300SL's of the 50's. Engine sound that reminds me of the muscle cars of my youth.
I've read all the knocks about this car, and most are true. Big A pillars. Shifter is in a … bad spot. Seat bottom is thinly padded. Comes with a can of fix-a-flat. Overpriced. Too firm. My response to these criticisms are..........who cares? This is a RACE CAR! 0-60 in 3.0 according to Car & Driver.
Before buying the AMG, I spent a couple of hours driving the Z06 with the Z07 Performance package, and while it was a very fun car, it drove like a pick-up compared to the GTS.
I've owned a lot of sports cars in my life, damn near everything, except for a Ferrari. Maintenance and repairs on a Ferrari scare me to death. 5 Corvettes, 3 Turbo Carreras, Ruf 911, Diablo, NSX, 2 LT1's, M6, ISF, RCF, to name a few. All were fast, either in a straight line or around a corner, but none were exceptionally fast in a straight line AND around the corners. The GTS is fast everywhere.
Do I wish that it was a little more comfortable? Yes. So I bought a gel pad for my seat bottom for those extra long drives. Problem solved. Run flat tires on a race car? No thanks.
My car was Certified Pre-Owned, so it came with a 1 year extended warranty. Unlimited miles. And I added 2 additional years of warranty to that (for appx. $3000), still unlimited miles. So I have 6 years of warranty with unlimited miles. I buy the Maintenance Package for prepaid maintenance. That costs about 60 cents on the $ for maintenance. Pretty good deal on a race car.
This GT S is $75K cheaper than the Gull-wing SLS that it replaced and by ALL accounts, drives much better. Overpriced..........please.
Is this the perfect sports car? No. But it comes closer than anything that I've ever owned or driven.
This car is a blast to drive at the legal speed limit. What more could you want?
More fun than should be allowed...

2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C 2dr Convertible (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 7AM)
Ordered a 2018 AMG GTC (Magnetite Black Metallic with Beige Interior) convertible early December 2017 and took delivery in mid June 2018. After putting on 1,500 miles in four months, I can only say WOW!!! This car handles like a dream and is so much fun to drive. Traded in our 2015 MB SL400 with only 16,000 miles, a car that my wife and I both hated to drive (nice looking car but … under powered, grabby brakes, premature transmission up-shifts, racing engine at idle in hot weather, lousy stereo, etc.---a full departure from the 2004 SL500 that we kept for 11 years. We hated that car from day one and immediately noticed the downgraded stereo when we drove it off the lot--they dropped the number of speakers from 11 to 10). The 2018 AMG GTC changed all of that, everything! The hydraulic steering is remarkable, the shift points in Sport mode are precise, acceleration is phenomenal and braking pedal modulation is smooth. Probably should have saved the $4,500 for the upgraded stereo, but too late for that. This car gives such a tremendous road feel and command while also being surprisingly smooth and comfortable. I noticed that Edmunds recommends saving the extra money by opting for the GT version over the GTC but I would disagree with that (obviously). The agility of the rear wheel steering is something amazing and you have to experience that first hand--it makes the car feel smaller than it is. Under 62 mph, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction as the front, making cornering on winding roads an incredible experience--there's absolutely no under-steer or over-steer--the car is amazingly neutral and feels more agile than the SL versions that we have been use to (with under-steer tendancy). All of the body vents are functional on the GTC version and the rear axle slip differential is electronic rather than mechanical. I expect to own the car for many, many years and can justify (rationalize) the higher GTC price...somewhat. The build quality on this car was also exceptional. Besides the car's good looks (always getting comments when gassing up), the driving experience is beyond description. We have owned several MB's, and BMW's over the years, and this car beats them all. One of our past favorite vehicles was a 2001 BMW Z3. We always thought of that car as a motorcycle with two seats. Fun to drive. On a scale of 1-10, the AMG GTC is a 20.

2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S 2dr Coupe (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 7AM)
Before I comment on the AMG GTS, for context, I've owned the following cars (each for a year or more):
Porsche 911 Carrera Techart (997.1)
Porsche 911 Carrera (991.2)
Porsche 911 GT3 (991)
Dodge Viper RT/10
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
Audi R8 V10 Manual
Aston Martin Vanquish
Lotus Elise
Ferrari F12
Now, for my Solarbeam Yellow AMG GTS. I purchased it used, certified from Mercedes, when … it only had 1,600 miles on it. I have owned it over 3 years, and am now at 14K+ on mileage. So far, no problems at all with the engine, body, or transmission. I don't track the car, but have driven "spiritedly" on back roads.
The ride to me is comfortable, and a big part of this is because of the comfortable seats. I keep mine in Sport Plus mode (but change the suspension to Comfort), because I love the crackles on downshifts, but also don't want kidney trauma.
The drive is spectacular, both with automatic and paddle settings. I do find that the paddles shift a fraction slower than my GT3 or F12, but not enough for me to poo-poo the car. Handling is unexpectedly excellent for a heavy-nosed car. Acceleration and braking are both excellent (I have the steel brakes). I am not a fan of the rather large A-pillars, nor the big side view mirror, as both create blind spots at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, but you learn to live with them.
The design of the car is breathtaking -- in solarbeam yellow, as mine is, lots of attention. I must say it's one of the more "beautiful" cars I've owned.
I recently was given a build slot for the new Porsche GT3, but after some thinking, declined it and decided to keep my AMG GTS a few more years.

2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S 2dr Coupe (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 7AM)
Incredibly fast and handles like a super car is supposed to. Very stiff ride - not what you would expect unless you are used to how race cars ride. Certainly not what any other Mercedes models would present. Since you sit so low and right in front of the rear wheels, the road noise is VERY loud. On tar and gravel roads the noise is so loud you cannot carry on a conversation. … Interstate road noise is not that much louder than the SL. Just remember, this is more of a race car than a luxury car. But the MB luxury is there! Loaded with everything I was looking for. If you put pedal to the metal, hang on!!! It be way fast. And it looks great!!!
