​@aesthetics6664 I had an offer I couldn't refuse. Basically, had free motoring for 8 months. Outstanding vehicle. I do miss it.😢

@emiliospowerballer1441 24 to 26 mpg. I was a bugger for 2nd and 3rd gear😀. Mostly people say about 28ish.

One of the best cars in the world

You're soooooo right.

Brilliant review. You do make me laughhhh😂

Beast of a car. Loooove it. Great review.

Having seen certain female youtubers colour match their clothing to a car I salute you for going one step further. Trackie top, hair and face fuzz really got you looking like a genuine owner. 👍🏻

I owned a 2017 gla 45 (the old model ) absolute riot of a rally car but was let down by having a basic interior and without adaptive dampers was stiffer than a viagra overdose. This gen of A class is very very cool and modern. Ive driven a facelift A class when my E63s had a safety recall and i was inpressed at what the little baby standard A class is capable of. The 45s seems a proper hooligan

It's preference, RS3 more comfortable and more relaxed, good straight liner, and a much larger platform for tuning however the a45s is 1000% more engaging just feels more of a race car, 1000% more fun, drift mode, good short daily driver and has it's tuning potentials. Being in a hatchback with that high boost pressure in the a45s is really a feeling the bigger cars can't give like the rs6 or e63 due to weight etc...

I agree about the tuning, I'm looking at both and I'm leaning towards the Merc because I feel the RS3 is a bit more...how do I say this without upsetting people, targeted towards younger drivers, not that that's a bad thing, it's just a bit more Fast and Furious If you get what I'm saying, the amount of tuning videos online with people upgrading to nutter BHP, It's just not for me, but I am on the wrong side of 40.

@@MrSlpierceI’ve owned the new rs3. Also driven the new a45s. The A45s is actually more nuts, if you compare both as stock. The RS is a better everyday car but overall the A45s is more fun and engaging. Pick the Merc. It’s better.

Plus Rs3 has the same look and interior of an A3 which is a shame. This AMG beats RS3 at the looks department and also at interior. Perfect car except the sound.

thats a sub from me. Ive just bought a 2018 a45 premium and i love it but... after watching this im a bit jealous. That interior looks phenomenal. The FL has lights inside but they are dull as shit. Still such a great car to drive though

love it! scary stuff, licence gone in 1 day!

i love mine!

Mate just stumbled on your videos, and gotta say you're very good at this! Nice creative humour and punch lines. You should be on Top Gear. I'm kinda tired of watching Matt Watson's samey old style of reviews and always the bias towards BMW.

Only problem is is it’s 70k with options , absolutely ludicrous

I see your having a mid life crisis same as me with the bum fluff 😂

LOL he's 34 what do you mean.

Am i missing these types of cars point? I drive a Z4 m40i its not as ultimately fast. it's not as grippy and definitely not as powerful but it has that something that gives me joy that no other car has. These cars are epic, i understand that but i see them as high performance dailies not my special weekend car. If i needed a daily then wow yes please but as my go-to play thing/toy then id not be at the frontline of that que

01:08 C36 AMG? Do you mean C63

Are these cars emergency? i mean brand new A35 AMG or A45 AMG

That's the best steering wheel ever made by Mercede

The facelift doesn’t come with red seat belts anymore?

ford focus RS is horrible inside but its a drivers car. im two weeks into owning one but i almost wish i bought two cheaper fun cars than one really nice one

The old A45 still sounds better

Agree with everything said here apart from stiffness - as a passenger they are horrendously shockingly stiff concrete in-between the springs stiff imo

This car loves to go into service every month or so.

Nice car but way too expensive especillay when it doesnt have a real exhaust. A golf r with a stage 1 tune is just as quick

thats my biggest gripe about it. Bought an 18 plate FL 381 but the exhaust sound fake when booting it. Sounds good on start up but sounds piped in while driving it

​@burglekutbawbag7275 they are mega quick but after spending that amount I couldn't live with fake pipes. The R is almost 20k cheaper and only marginally slower because of the gearbox and at least gas connected exhaust tips!

They don't bother with this one much do they? I know the original A45 was driven by loads of immature nuts but they quickly abandoned it as their mule of choice. I could be wrong ofcourse but I don't see many of these at all (they don't have a good loud exhaust so I doubt yobs will be interested in this)
