Trending Questions on Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe - Answered by Autocar Experts

A
Asked by: Arunon Dec 29, 2025

I want to buy a Porsche GT3. I have not driven a sports car before, and I currently drive a Jeep Compass. How can I gradually move into the sports car segment?

While the Porsche 911 GT3 is a superb sports car - and will be launching in its latest 992.2 guise in early 2026 - it is perhaps too much of a handful for one's first sports car. The GT3 has lowered, firm suspension, which, while great for handling, is not comfortable and makes the car twitchy to drive, and similarly, its steering is heavy, and its power delivery is sharp.
It's a sports car you graduate to after some experience with more manageable performance vehicles, better suited to the track than the road, and worth buying once you are fully committed. Plus, at a price of Rs 3 crore, it is an expensive gateway option. It's better to start out with a more usable car, which still has strong performance, like the BMW M2, or the Mercedes-Benz CLE AMG 53.
These cars are more usable every day, while still having great flash value and strong performance. They will let you become accustomed to a greater deal of performance, and deploy it safely on the road. The GT3 can come at a later stage.
