I don't think it makes the slightest bit of difference to this review. Read the spec sheet if you want to know the irrelevant 0-60 time.

you tubers pay attention to any comparisons with the VW golf R, they always use a manual and not a DSG when directly comparing it.

I have had the a 45 amg same spec and colour as in the video and I'm loving it so glad I chose it over the golf r, Focus rs and audi rs3.

The golf r and rs3 look so boring

Great to see a review of these two hatches in particular. I've been a fan of the R for a long time, but always wondered if when I'm ready I should just go for the Merc.... nice to have some perspective! too bad the Merc doesn't come in MT

The guy in the leather jacket comes across as a college drop out but at the same time, the exact sort of wiley guy that I would like to see doing these reviews. I liked the good cop, crazy cop dynamic between the two of them. I enjoyed watching the review. They just spoke their minds and had fun.

The guy in the Merc is making this very difficult to watch.

I don't care what anyone says the golf r is an all around better car I saw a video of a dsg golf 7.5 r doing 0-60 in 4.2 seconds having a dual clutch in the Mercedes is a big big difference the least you would've done is had the dsg in the golf and with launch control I guarantee you it will be a close race between the Mercedes and the vw

I really wanted the a45 but it wasn't available in the States. So I got that Golf R with DSG. Quite a fun step up from my 2012 GTI. :D

you did the right choice ....

I'd like to see some drag videos without using launch control. I have it in my Audi S6 and it's arguably one of the easiest systems to engage, but I never use it at impromptu red light drags. I just mash the loud pedal.

7:17 that dude Mauro weirdass laughs sounds like a car failing to start lol.. my day

would you go for a new golf R 7.5 or a 2016 - 2017 golf R. Please do comparison for that!

pushing the A45 through the corners like this is so satisfying to watch,.. tq. great video

I wonder which of the best hot hatches would be the fastest in a slalom test. Also great that you have Mauro Calo, one of the best stunt drivers and Guinness world record holder with you.

I have checked on mine and you are correct. I do not have the diff but mine gives angles of slip in Racemode. I wrongly assumed that it turned it off. You can turn it off on the dash however. Was that done in the test as it does not look like it from the video ? Chris was on sportmaxx tyres when he tested the Jupiter Red one which as far as im aware are the worst tyre out of the 3 tyres makes it rolls out the factory on (perelli and conti being the other two). I had them on mine from new and with some very spirited driving at times never had problem with understeer whatsoever. I wouldn't class myself as a top driver ethier. My wife even commented once when sat in the back that she could feel the back move out. I have not tracked it but on the road its not difficult to do. There are several vids on youtube with these cars sideways. Its not a power oversteer machine but it is adjustable if driven in the right way. Im suprised this wasn't shown in Autocars video. I owned an audi s3 8p before so i'm well versed in understeer btw.

I really like the Golf because it can also do the normal boring day-to-day stuff (leisurely potter to the shops with the dogs in the back, wife driving, the comfortable work commute etc.), and within a reasonable budget, whereas the Merc - not so much. If I wanted (and had the money to buy) a hard-core performance car, then the chances are I would also have an everyday car, therefore I’d probably buy neither of these cars on a pure performance basis. But as an ‘only car’ it has to be the Golf.

Why on earth would you compare the manual golf r to the a45?

You can compare the latest golf r to the previous generation A45

I have owned three Golf Rs and now have a A 45 Mercedes. There is not too much between them, I do not have to cancel the stop /start in the A45 each time I set off and the Road Tax is higher because the price new was over £40,000.

this guy just thrashed the Merc AMG , ,ha ha ha ha ha ha , That merc was begging for forgiveness

I'd like to see these 2 an rs3 and an m140i all autos all launch control 1 mile drag race :p

376 hp amg A45 .... ddnt they drop the hp to 250 in the 2017 model ?

can he see over the steering wheel in the AMG?

As i've answered you in the other comment, i don't give a shit if he's not that entertaining, he can drive better than 99.9% of the so called 'car reviewers' on youtube.. Much prefer to see someone drive something the way it was meant to be driven than a useless 'reviewer' going 40 mph and taking how it feels like a racecar for the road P.S. your only criticism in the comment above was addressed about his driving position, which has nothing to do with his actual driving or presenting.. Oh yeah, and you mentioned his watch for some reason.. funking wanker

Get the Golf R with dsg and an APR tune and it will be damn close to that A45

The other chap looks like a football hooligan, but does a great review lol!

M140?

so awesome

DSG stock R's have done 4.3 to 60. Launch Control is legit.

In the next episode, a 2012 honda civic vs 2017 Z06 corvette!

had the R now got the gti performance 245 BHP and to be honest cannot tell a great difference, the GTI is much better looking and nicer inside, plus better fuel economy. might get it chipped to add 45bhp making it 290 bhp. My verdict get the GTI as its cheaper.

Hey this is the same track as the one used on carwow

Manual vs automatic???

The A45 looks so much better (regardless of the silly wing)... Additionally .1 or .2 of a second in this segment is meaningless (new RS3 comparisons, etc). Naturally, design language is a matter of taste, subjective in nature and as such I'm sure not all will agree.

cool!

Would atill rather have the Golf or an M140i

The A45 AMG has 381HP and 450NM and not 376HP

You should compare the Audi RS3

Now go get the Golf R with the 3.6L from the Passat, and twin-turbo.
