    That SQ2 goes hard! But I love the sound of the GLA more.

    That Quattro system is just sublime

      Agreed. No fuss, no hesitation, just propulsion

    I really thought the Audi would get smashed. That SQ2 is brutal!

      So did I TBH, but Audis thrive when the grip is less than ideal. We saw that with RS6 vs E63

    Alex - These Wheels and Motor videos are quite good and I know you are the lead man behind them, it's just a pity the subscriber count is so low on both channels,
    youtube make it rather difficult in a very competitive category such as automotive things to be seen, god speed.

      Thanks Andy, I'm glad you're enjoying the vids. You're right, it is a challenge, although we're committed to making it work. I'm always keen for suggestions/feedback tho. Cheers for commenting.

    Good to see you guys used your noggin and started in the opposite direction for the standing start 1/4 mile race coz the unprepped start line would've been like ice...

    Just curious what tyres both have in wet conditions especially tire choice makes a huge difference.. its funny if u look up both there quarter mile times the gla does a 13.9sec and the audi does a 14.1🤷‍♂️ comes down to tires

    • @motorofficial

      An excellent question. SQ2 was on Bridgestone Turanza T002 while the GLA was running Continental Sportontact 6. Interesting that the GLA has the edge in ideal 400m times. The official 0-100km/h claims have the Audi in front (4.9sec vs 5.1)

    I don't really like the styling of either of them (but I'm the weirdo who thinks the previous GLA was good-looking), but boy oh boy that GLA has some questions to answer around that price difference! More of a Q3 rival though I suppose.

      IMO as funky as the SQ2’s interior is, there’s certainly a step up in cabin quality in the GLA, so I can see where some of that coin is going. SQ2 is a little pocket rocket though.

    Less talking and more of the cars. You need to run at least 2 of each race type.

    The AMG looks more grown up, while the Audi looks good it has a funky vibe to it.

    The title to this vid is wrong. The Benz shown in the vid is not a AMG GLA 35 which has 302 horsepower as stated. The one that’s racing in the vid is a GLA 250 with the smaller engine with 221 horsepower.

      It is a 35 look at the badge, the front grill. The rims, the exhaust, the interior.
