    Regardless, the R would annihilate both versions on any road course. Being what it is, it's not ideal for drag racing. In fact, it beats almost every BMW and Merc on the Ring, except the most hardcore models.

    @@FB6K24Z7 i understand what you saying but anything that is more advanced tend to have reliability issues. But that being said, i own german , japanese and american. And i honestly drive all of them hard an maintain them. I usually sell at 200k due to me wanting something else. However, if you go to jamaica as i say. Its not uncommon to see cars hitting over a million kilometers both german and japanese. Most people have issues with german because they are not maintaining them. One of the things i notice since i migrated here. If someone has a luxury car thats 10 years or older..they automatically think the price of maintenance should be cheaper hence they throw it away. In the caribbean the mindset is different. We dont use km to judge cars like here. My tundra back home has over 3 million km. I bought it in 2001 when it just came out and have it ever since. Runs like new. My 750 has around 400k in jamaica. Another thing i notice in my opinion....japanese cars parts wore out way faster than german. My 2015 m5 has since new has 135000km and i never change any part on it. My 2017 civic 66000km needs a bearing at the back and my mom 2018 rav 4 68000km got the front shocks replaced.

It’s terrible for drag racing, FWD through a manual transmission is the last combo you want for a drag. Now from a pull the CTR can hang with similar horse power cars but is for sure Track focused. 9/10 on track, 7/10 in a roll and like 4/10 in a drag.

  • @joejay2876
    @joejay2876Ай бұрын

    I was fortunate to buy a '19 GLA45AMG in '22 with 9k mi. for around 48k. Best money ever spent on a FUN COMMUTER! Pros: - DCT, 7 gears, AWD, 5 seater hatch, 375hp/350tq out of the box, HAND MADE ENGINE, 3400lbs. Cons: - DCT is as good as a DCT is; horrible at stop and go traffic and crawling speeds. Sometimes slow at selecting right gear (mitigated by setting it to manual). MB will eat you alive with service/maintenance/repair costs; haven't had any repairs needed and all maintenance incl'd transmission fluid change has been done by me. Lastly, 2019 was the last true sports hatch made. 2020+ are a hog in performance, weight and looks. ------------ Had Honda created an AWD Type R and taken off the gloves by pushing the 4cyl to 400hp+, it would have been GAME OVER. However, all these major car manufacturers just want your money for mediocre performance in return using selling gimmicks. Type R looks bad as, but falls short in the performance dept. ------------ Note: I also added a RaceChip to my 45 and it is insane power for a 4 cyl.

    @@AlphaPC lmfao you think leather is worth 25k? Its profit - weak minded people want to believe they are paying more for a mercedes for a reason but they arent. In the 80s Mercedes had quality control and solid materials that last for decades. Today they have plastic interiors wrapped in fake leather they invented call MB tex to fool morons into thinking its "high quality" - its not To get anything near 80s Mercedes quality you have to step up to an SLS/S class and above and even then they still have wiring issues/grounding issues 80% of Mercedes vehicles are leased and few owners keep them past the lease or warrty period - they know the repairs wont be worth keeping the car and leave the timebomb for 2nd, 3rd, 4th owners who buy the car - have a maintenance failure and sell the car. Youll find these "luxury" cars at buy here lay here lots - half broken - being sold to broke people who want the status a brand vs an actual reliable car. Its an illusion - one that luxury brands profit from daily by suckers willing to overpay for status. An entry level Mercedes is worth less than an Accord but they can charge more for a CLA because of a badge lmfao Pure comedy The Germans love to use steel and their chassis are pretty solid and coated for rust prevention.....but their electronics are always iffy and their wiring looms always eventually short out, get pinched or wear until they throw codes. Their sensors fail constantly and the labor to replace them is 5 to 10x the cost of the sensor itself. Just annyoing This is why they are leased - keep them fresh, under warranty and you get a loaner when it breaks - lease over - hand the headache to someone else - MB USA then inspects the car, fixes issues and offers a 7yr/unlimited mileage warranty on lease returns to start the cycle again

    I wonder what sense is there in continuing to present unthinkable comparisons, by type of traction and by power, comparing completely different cars in straight-line challenges whose outcome is known at the start. Take them to fast tracks but also with mixed sections as they should, and compare them on the time it takes to do 5-10 laps. Everything else is a mockery.
