James Wong
Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Distinct styling from C-Class, S-Class
- Solid spec inclusions, tech-luxe vibes
- Four-pot turbo punches above its weight
Misses
- Transmission is clunky at low speeds
- Expensive option packages
- Not as spacious in the rear as you'd think

Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- The benchmark entry-level sports car
- Turns more heads than a base 911
- Next-gen is electric, so it's a collectable
Misses
- Exhaust note is still uninspiring at 5000rpm
- Storage space in the cabin is tight
- Infotainment hardware is almost a decade old
