Didn't know Chris Martin did car reviews!
Griffin Nagel and that car is all yellow.....🤘🏻
*Easy - Got so Fed Up with Gwyneth Tripe about CO2 and taking Private Jet's everywhere to spout **-crap-** Rubbish about **_Destroy the Planet etc_** can you blame him?*
The new a class, goes extremely fast and still looks really depressed doing it
🤣🤣🤣😂
Sounds like me in bed then.
I’ve got a M140i and absolutely love it, however I can’t deny Mercedes AMG is at the top right now. Every car they bring out is a hit. I’d be really interested in the new A45 and if this A35 is anything to go on it will be another hit.
keep that m140i and put a m sport diff in it
///M [R]S m140i is such an amazing car but I get why you’d want to go over to MB they’re doing amazing at the minute.
I WANT an M140i........except it isn't available in North America. RWD hatchbacks are awesome.
M140i ftw
Why didn’t you just buy a Merc then instead of the 140?
35k sounds okay for this car, but then I wonder what the price of the actual press car is like...
Petrolheadish almost certainly 45k+ 😛
Gas Pedal Subscribe yup both would be a more fun drive. The a35 would be quite nice to live with daily though and in winter
I’m waiting to buy one it’s gone from 32k to 36k 😤 it’s creeping up might be an M2 for me now
Petrolheadish I just specc’d one up with the optional Dampers, Premium Plus pack (the top trim available) and connectivity pack for under £40k.
Calvin Orr base price is actually £34,350
can u guys do a comparison of this car against M140i & S3? please?
I can’t wait for the A45!!!!!
Get a approved BMW M140I shadow edition currently available for around £28k (340HP, 500NM, 0-60 4.6) better value and sounds way better
And You can have it with manual gearbox :)
340hp and only 0.1 second faster? Yeah great value lol. Btw a car is much more than a 0-60 time and in terms of the interior the bmw is far behind xD
@@tomasz899 exactly
@@DnBDubstepManiak1 Some how you manage to contradict yourself in your comment looool and who said it all about 0-60? Happy New Year btw
London Cars and Games rwd will never hit 0-60 quick than a 4wd
Can't wait for the A45, now that will be a beast🤘🤘😃
Finished. This is the sort of mind-numbing review Autocar youtube did for years, recently they have been interesting and entertaining. Tough watch.
Maybe he should scream into the camera and make faces to entertain you? It's an informational review, not a stand up show. If you want to see clowns, look elsewhere.
@@MyRealName the clown seems to have found me.
@@red00eye Didn't expect you to make any sense after the ridiculous comment..
@@red00eye He just left you with no arguments, politely and accurately. And now, your pride prevents you to act like a grown-up. So if a "clown" can teach you that, then you are not in a pretty enviable position I am afraid
What is the sound system like? Nobody every talks about it but it’s quite important 😂
Is this one is the cheapest ??
Might be a clue in the fact they launched it somewhere with smooth roads.
Dan is a great reviewer. No repetition of words. Particularly noticeable when he was talking about grip. Lovely
Why not just make it the awd more red biased. Send power to the front if the rear starts to slip...
Sounds like a plan👍
Paused it 50% through, not one word on this car and if it is good or bad yet. Loads on the old car and the Fous RS though.
you should have take few minutes to show some of the car features, the dash board, the engine and just all around. just saying
So is this better then the focus rs he didn’t say it was or it wasn’t
Best Hatchback EVER!!!
cant wait for A45 and comparison against RS3... pls pls pls
Or the a45s...
Really enjoy your reviews Dan!
So...is it better than the Focus RS?
Dan Possner’s review are always ace.
wanna see if this new a45 can finally overtake the rs3 on a strait drag without any mods
Should of had 325-335hpninstead of 302.
If it really wants to beat contenders like the golf r (330hp in clubsport trim) , audi s3 (305hp) , megane rs ( 300hp)
Focus rs ( 350 hp) , bmw m240i ( 328hp) ....
Very interesting. Sounds like you’re suggesting it’s a lot like the golf r/s3. So is it better than them?
So is it all wheel drive when u want it to be or is that just a thing that kicks in when the from wheels lose traction
Yeah, why did they make the a35? if the a45 will eventually be build?
As a 1 series owner I shouldn't like this but I kinda of do. Still prefer RWD but since BMW are ditching it in the one I'll have to get used to AWD hatches
A35 AMG Or M135i?
Interestingly the car he’s driving has the optional 19” wheels and night pack with no spoiler, but in the UK you have to have the chavvy aero pack in Order to have the larger wheels - annoying!
A class hatch always looked a bit odd to me, prefer the saloon version.
CLA makes the saloon look retarted.
Nice. These A class AMGs will be fun little winter beaters to spice up our most dreaded and boring season of the year for us Car enthusiasts.
Can't wait to pick up an A class AMG and the new Supra coming out (I want the BMW convertible but boy does it look ugly...)
Let see how would it be the result with the Golf R!
Good review and presenter.
Why didn't show us that engine panel???
Just remember you’re payment exec-segment prices for a B segment car, and that B-segment car is built to make money on its base model. These are extortionate cars but people are lapping them up! It’s these over-arching ‘pinnacle’ models in the range are there to sell the lower ones and also to bump their prices up.
On top of that the number of driving modes means it’s basically digital management of the car literally between corners, can’t the engineers just design a passive system that actually works? Oh no wait, it’s the digital system they plug in to the basic models to make them seem developed for the price they are selling them at...
Review great but missing 0-60 time and Top speed. Also it would be nice to hear the exhaust all the downshift pops and crackles
The rear looks so much like a Kia Cerato. Yikes.
Front isn't bad though.
Golf R any day over this.
Unless of course you have some morals and don’t want to buy into the corrupt VW dynasty, of which former executives reside in prison
What did they do? Explain please
RapatipatooO What did VW do? Have you been living under a rock over the last few years? The HUGE diesel cheat device scandal?
how did they cheat exactly? i didnt read much into it.
RapatipatooO i think they had something on their diseal vehicles which would output false emmisions readings, so they could pass them
Not keen on that rattling noise
In France, this car is 10k€ cheaper than the audi S3... and I think I prefer this one !
And this one probably won't quickly make it to the US market, either. Bought a Golf R in '15 because the A45 and RS3 couldn't be had here, and the Focus RS is so juvenile/cheap feeling.
The new a45 going to have over 400bhp that’s incredible for a stock everyday car like that I remember the days where Subaru’s and evos were fast with around 280-300hp
Love the YELLOW!
This or M140i?
The best hot hatch from previous years was the rs3
How many times does he say “front axle” in his reviews
Nothing says premium better than exposed painted and visible door inners!
So true. Just brand something as luxury and it is.@The Truth
Its a hot hatch, not a roller
@The Truth Number what? Lol. Bullshit.
It’s part of the design, just like the golf. Nothing to do with premium or not.
Couldn't make my mind up on these so I've ordered and s3 instead. Some angles it looks great and others it looks horrible really not a fan of the back
I know these cars are all about pedal to the metal and so on.
But why does this bloke only drive on picturesque country roads like in a TV commercial? What's the car like where people actually drive - like in a busy town? Will it behave like a ballerina in a close parking spot when you have to climb a kerbstone?
Now I can just guess what it might be like to rent for a day trip in Tuscany or on Mallorca...
Auto express review, said the interior looked nicer than the rs3. And reviewers wonder why no one listens to them. Laughable. That screen looks dreadful, so out of place.
NICE hatch, Old S3 and Golf R are less expensive for the same performance
The S3 and RS3 are pigs.. great in straight line but horrid understeer at all times.. look up Chris Harris' video don't take my word
For sheer performance no small hatch comes close to the A45, but I'd still have an M2 or even an M240i/M140i over it
Stefan Petrov If hooned around a track, then yeah they understeer at the limit. Appeals to a different buyer. I’m not hating on BMW at all and love the M2, but understeer at the limit doesn’t ruin the RS3 completely. They’ve come a long way from older gens (that Harris is reviewing), and are pretty much neutral on the road where 99.9% of drivers will keep them. Just seems a bit unfair to totally discredit them on that basis alone.
Stefan Petrov m2 is more expensive than a TTRS...
@@johnqiu1659 the M2 is $60k and the TTRS is $65k. How is that more expensive? It is more expensive than an RS3 yes but not by much.
@@effa114 every car understeer expecially compacts with AWD... You moron. Still S3/RS3 understeer less that's why they are faster on track than Mercedes.
jesus christ this review is boring, its a hot hatch, make it fun
Modern hot hatches don’t interest me anymore, sure that have lots of power and are fast but they are just boring. Gone are the days where they had different engine configurations, now they are just 2 litre 4 pot turbo and its rather boring. No longer are hot hatches really all that affordable which is sort of the point of a hot hatch.
Front is outstanding.
Rear needs improvement
Not a fan of mercs but that's a pretty hot design. :) Needs a manual.
Why??? Just why that front design? What is wrong with MB....they had the best looking “faces” on the market less than a decade ago
It's mercedes-amg A35 thank you very much
Very tempted.
looks good
Paddles, makes everyone a racing superstar....
This guy looks a bit like the Bishop Heahmund from Vikings
Doesn't look aggressive enough.
I'd rather Mégane Trophy, much more purposeful looking and engaging I imagine.
Mário Sousa aero pack changes the entire look to be 10x more aggressive
Why do cars need to look aggressive... to threaten to eat up anyone on the inside lane?
No Troll just what some people are into
@@Buzzshot_GW
If I were into fast driving, the last thing I'd want would be a car that attracts unnecessary attention...
No Troll yeah that’s fair enough mate
I want this interior in my M240i
Yes well now days you would...because you can,t bite the hand that feeds you.back in the day you would have said it was too expensive and reliability will be in question too not to mention iffy overpriced servicing.
35.5k pounds? damn thats cheap..
I bought my Evox for 120k pounds in Singapore...
can't wait for the B45 lol
Just don’t like the Dash, it’s just not pleasing on the Eye, functional that’s what you’d call it, does the job, that’s it.
Like there aren’t enough Mercedes models
you have copied the layout dialogue of chris harris videos.
I cant wait for an all new a3/s3 from audi
Hands down the best looking hot hatch ever. A fat rear, sits nice on those wheels and an agressive front with all the luxury you can have. Very well done Benz
Possibly better but definitely not better to buy brand new than a focus r.
Pay all that money and it looks like a normal A Class AMG line. Crazy bodywork should be shared with the A35 not just reserved for the A45.
You can order it with the aero package which has agressive, wing/difuser and front bumper.
There's a bodykit package you're able to option on it.
The Truth no you can get amg line cars that aren’t amg. Same as Audi’s s line etc
@The Truth AMG Line is more of a trim level rather than a full AMG car,rather like Audi's S Line,so your wrong!!
Thanks god it looks like any other AMG line without any oversized fancy spoiler. Love it as it is.
Would still prefer a BMW M140i... as long as its available, it should the only choice of any serious car enthousiast for a hatch. Nicely balanced and throttle ajdustable chassis with 6 cylinder music over fancy gadgets and screen please.
He said 45 at the start
Golf R makes more sense..... in a dark colour and no extras.
David Hayes sit in this car and compare the dashboard and amg extras. Gold looks boring as does bmw
Still looks like a small people carrier.
Well...it is lol
Wow... That introduction to the new 4matic was just torture, but at least I'll now know where that money went when an arsehole in one drives past me.
Is he comparing renault with mercedes? Noo way
Is it normal that you can see the painted metal on the inside of the door. Or is that just more cost saving by Mercedes?
This bloke can review...
0:03 - A45, but it translates as A35... hmmmmm
Handsome too except....... the rear end looks a bit like a Toyota.
Man that thing looks like a kia
Looks excellent to me! Love it
Why so ugly? Worse than mk1 a class (the one that flipped in elk test)
Wait a second this is cheaper than the New supra and is almost as fast and is More practical
As good as these turbos are, God turbo 4s are boring and generic sounding
Agreed. I drive my wife’s s3 sport back and then my rs3 and the saloon is so much nicer, quicker to drive but sound wise they are massive leagues apart
Yep, turbo 4’s really are boring, even putting an after market exhaust on doesn’t really help as they don’t sound great, they have no nice tone. My jdm ep3 is nowhere near as fast as modern hot hatches but so much more enjoyable to drive
Nice to see the A35 already having a quicker reacting rear axle, 45 have the potential to be a riot
what is the benefit of a quick reacting rear axle? thanks
Easy A45 smokes RS so I have no doubt A35 will be the same new RS is utter crap fact MK2 is the better one but A45 is a different level to all
Looks sharp from the outside, disappointing to see the yellow door pillars on the inside
That's a very nice VW Golf
The truth is a hot hatch is all about driving pleasure. And if the is no manual option is it really a hot hatch. It not how fast you go but more about how fast can you drive it than it you
Chris Jones I hate it when people say a car isn’t good cause it doesn’t have a manual. Get over your self. No one ever said while drive a P1 oh do you know what this needs a manual. If you put a manual in an RS3 you lose a lot of it’s performance. Sure in like a Focus RS it’s great but having a manual doesn’t make it an amazing drivers car
@@BBAa-nj2on surely the difference between a P1 and hot hatch it's the essence of driving. P1 is meant to the quickest of quick and manuals are clearly not as fast. Where I want to be involved in driving the car, changing gear with my foot and hand synchronised with each other. I think rather my point is hot hatches have come a race to 0-60 and lap times rather than the experience of trying to drive them quickly, if you get my drift. I'm not saying autos are bad but they have their place
In this color it looks fine, but in dark colours like grey, black for instance it’s boring, no matter its abilities....
It better be superior to the RS since it costs 12% more
Elpin Gon far superior. Plus the badge is just a bonus
No way is this car worth 35k
Hate that giant Samsung looking gauge cluster....no creativity
LO MEJOR O NADA
Karl Benz
Very very nice , and good review . I`ve subscriebed back ! Enjoyable and relaxing .
Budget class at premium prices, that's entry level AMG for you
