I share my epic individual drive config that I use in my 2022 Mercedes CLA45s AMG. Then we go on a POV drive to show you how fun it is.

This video features the CLA45s AMG which is one of the AMG performance versions of the Mercedes CLA. My car is the 2022 CLA45s AMG Coupe but you can also get the CLA45s AMG Shooting brake or even the A45s Hatch back.
The CLA45s gives you that great AMG sound from the AMG performance and also the luxury of a Mercedes Benz

    A year ago this seemed like a great thing to do. But now with the price of gas, my “I” mode is all about fuel economy! If I want to go fast, I just go Sport+/Track mode.

    Looking forward to this. I picked up my CLA45s just before Christmas - am finding your channel very helpful. Its a year old now with 9,000 miles. Basically, its awesome. I do notice the odd rattle - wondering if that's something you've experienced?

    Thanks! Glad you are enjoying yours too and find my vids helpful! Mine has suddenly developed a little noise and It’s booked in next week to be looked at. Il try and cover it all in a video. Hopefully an easy fix. The suspension is so hard in race mode it just takes one thing to come loose to cause vibrations. We’re on the A platform too so there are a few lower ends parts. Mercedes are good under warranty usually with these types of things so I’m hopeful it will be sorted.

    That’s great news Ian! I’ve heard production is speeding up now! I did think about some window tints but It’s illegal to go too dark here on the fronts. I am thinking about getting my badges painted black and maybe swapping the interior piano black to carbon fibre this year.

    Hey! It’s hard to know without hearing but there’s often a little noise after a spirited drive when your turn the car off (had this will every performance car I’ve owned). Ah yes there’s lots of fuses and electronics in these cars :)

    Just discovered you man. Very interested in the facelift 45 S. Quick question: How's the suspension for daily driving? I will go on joy rides but I'll also be daily driving this with my wife and kid. Does it drive comfortably in C-mode? Or is it stiff and angry all the time? Do you think the AMG Ride Suspension Control option is mandatory?

    Hey Myrin, welcome! Overall the suspension is pretty good. It's never going to be as comfortable as a non AMG of course but It's not bad even with the performance seats. I've done plenty of long drives with the family. I would say go for the AMG ride suspension since It is noticeably harder in the sport+ setting. Here's a video I did with my family on a long journey. kzread.info/dash/bejne/i42Wk6WOms7HhsY.html

    Its quite nice in the c43 to setup a sport+ profile but with the suspension on comfort. Then you get the nice exhaust and throttle response and a softer more daily ride quality.
