How can a car have "quite bad" build quality and yet be "the BEST car you have ever driven"?
Have you not driven any other cars?
Have you not driven any other cars?
Also, some other cars at the same price range have weird feature omissions like no rear seat-warmers or no automatic wipers, etc.
But yes it’s clearly not as well put together as other cars. I don’t see how these are mutually exclusive.
So yeah, I totally 100% get how you can simultaneously love and hate a car, especially if it's an expensive one.
Having said that - I've spent enough time on AMG forums to know that the same problem exists even if you buy a C63 or E63, the build quality of the interior just isn't great(while the mechanical engineering arguably is, those cars are very reliable when it comes to the actual mechanical bits)
But yeah, that's a weird segment that car is in. It's expensive, because the engine is expensive, but at the same time you're getting the exact same interior and fit-and-finish as the non-AMG versions of that class, which means an AMG S-class is very nice, while an AMG A-class is just not very nice at all. So yeah, your experience sounds exactly like what I would expect out of that specific model, and by just looking at the price tag, it's not very intuitive that that's what you're gonna get.
And other cars have had worse defects, (SUV rollovers, wiring fires, etc)
It’s odd people compare the Model 3 to a wide range of cars when it seems more apt to compare it to ICE cars like Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series. I think it’s superior to those cars, I don’t miss the amount of buttons they all have (buttons I personally never use). And I feel like all car interiors have started to get very cheap.
