Hi there,

In what way is it 'not nice'?

Can you describe what you mean when you ask 'how these cars are supposed to change gear'?

Thanks

until my car was ready they lent me a 350 and it was lovely, nice smooth gear change and a little bit of performance. i've owned porsches before and that too had a smooth change, with this amg it is horrible it's like..... imagine a manual being forced into gear without using the clutch (i'm not joking) it is doing this too much for my liking. it happens driving fast or driving it slow, in S or C mode. help please

take it back to the dealer - sounds like a fault to me.
I've never heard anything other than praise for the AMGs. AFAIK the change should be the same as the standard model - e.g. virtually inpercetable. If yours is clunking and being agressive, it needs checking.
