  • Rory reviews the Mercedes-Benz AMG A35 vs the more expensive A45S on track to see which is best. The A45 is priced far higher - fifteen thousand pounds more to be exact - but does its faster 0-60, better sound, higher top speed and DRIFT MODE make it a better investment?

    I am just lovin’ Rory’s reviews. I’m in the market for a new sports car but wanted to know what these new cars were all about. Rory has enlightened me on so many differences that other reviewers never point out. Every car he drives I want to buy! Gosh, what a salesman he would make. He energetically points out all the positive features but he does mention the minuses as well. I never thought I would enjoy learning about car engines and how nuanced wheel balance and power distribution can be. Thanks Rory! I’m so grateful to you for sharing you knowledge so enthusiastically.

    OK this was 3 years ago but I’ve only just seen this great video.The conclusion was inevitable, £15,000 is going to get you a faster car.I do not regret choosing the A35 as it will still keep up with a Boxter and I got 47 mpg driving steadily on the motorway.For more power I have an AMG C63 in the garage but at the moment jumping in the A35 is probably more fun.Less anxiety squeezing down narrow lanes and less anxiety looking for petrol stations and less anxiety when you go into a corner a bit too fast on a damp road.

    I have the A35 Edition 1 and I love every second of driving it. Even as I watch the video I'm itching to go out for a ride :)
    Not gonna lie through, if the 45S was available when I've pre-ordered mine, I would've gone for it. Even at the cost of cutting on some optional extras.

      I’ve driven A35 and would love to have it. Congrats on your purchase!

      Ross he didn’t have a choice because the A45s wasn’t available when he ordered his. Plus if you’re a driver and not a poser, how the car looks is the last thing on your mind. The A45s shits all over the A35 and that’s clear from this video.

      @Ross I'm not getting into a debate, but yes it does shit on the A35. It's clear to see from the video. It has superior balance and is dynamically a lot more sorted. The way the car shifts the power around is phenomenal.

    Ads disguised as reviews. Doug demuru level of honesty is what should be the standard.

    Mahn the A45S is just a phenomenal machine... nothing short of that literally... hatchback going sideways...has just joined a list of what was thought impossible..together with the Porsche taycan
