Is the 2020 Mercedes AMG CLA 45 the sport sedan YOU want to BUY?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The AMG CLA 45 is a smaller sport sedan but Mercedes made sure it has a big performance punch. Under the hood is the World's most power 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that is pumping out 382HP & mated to a 7-speed DCT. Power gets to the ground through and AWD system which has launch control and drift mode. The exterior of the CLA is very sporty with a uniques front fascia, forged wheels and rear bumper. On the inside you will find a well laid out cabin with one of the best steering wheels in the business. Is the 2020 Mercedes AMG CLA 45 the ULTIMATE compact sport sedan?

    This is a great video, especially like that it's thorough from outside to inside... I use to rent a cla 250 from a rental car company over 4 months actually had 4+ cars in 3 different colors. I love the fact it can either be driven slow, smooth and comfortable or tight and quick just via a few selections plus you get steering paddles for instant power and manual shifting. Been waiting to find the right deal on a higher performance 45 S AMG, which has even more options and racing mode plus allows to switch from all wheel to just front wheel drive even a drift mode which the regular 45 Amg doesn't have... The Sport 45 AMG costs more but is well worth the wait in fact looking at a gla until a Sport AMG 45S is obtainable.

A lot of options out there that fall under that $70k mark but they won't have that logo on the grill. So to me it comes down to how much the brand means to you. Great review as always

Like Marlene Dietrich back in the day, with a nice container of German potato salad on her lap, or for safe keeping, wedged into that door pocket as that wily farty exhaust sings out back ;). I appreciate the simplicity and classic beauty of Mercedes' designs from top of the range to the bottom. Something BMW seems to have forgotten as they mutate into Bavarian Blobs lol.

    Good review Joe! I asked you on your CLA 35 video if you prefer the M340i or the 35, and you mentioned the M340. Gotta ask once more, what do you prefer between the CLA 45 and M340i for a mix of daily driving and fun?

    Great review Joe! Loved the car! Question though... Is it better or worse than the C43 AMG? Which is more worth the $?
