Just wanted to tell you that I’m picking up my 2021 C43 Sedan today and a big reason I got it was your channel! I’ve watched every video! So informative and I love how much you care about your car. Much respect to you and your channel!
Do you think moving from c43 to CLA45s is an upgrade or downgrade? I’m having this struggle in my head right now since I love the CLA45 too, the baby GT appearance is so nice. I do love those new packages in 2022 model. However, in Canada there is no S model, only the regular CLA45. And considering the materials used in these cars, C class beats CLA no doubt. Also I don’t think the sound of 4 cylinders will be as good as V6. These factors really keep me away from ordering one. But at the same time, my c43 had already lost so many values because of depreciation. I’m now thinking about either ordering a CLA45 and doing some modifications on it or keeping my C43. What’s your opinion?
Hi Ricer, Have you tried driving the new CLA45? It's in a completely different league to the older model. I was not planning on buying one but I tested one because I loved the mini GT look. Then when I drove it I fell in love the new engine is absolutely incredible to drive. It does not sound as good and it's a 4 cylinder but wow it's such a beast to drive. It's so rapid and loves to rev. The driving dynamics on the 45 are really good too, love the handing and the rear Dif. In my opinion the CLA45s that I've bought is a huge upgrade over the C43. That being said though the C43 is amazing and I am going to miss it but I won't lie the C43 felt a bit sluggish and I really missed the CLA45s when I took my C43 back.
I had the same dilemma and opted with the c43. I live in Canada as well and ultimately, a smaller car felt like a downgrade. The image I couldn’t get out of my head was sitting in a CLA 45 with 2 passengers and winter jackets. It would feel so cramped, and that’s not a feeling I want in a new car. Hoping the new c-class is just as beastly!
Got a c class 200d AMG line myself, not quite as sporty on the inside etc but a car I’m absolutely loving. Gutted to get my first ding on the front bumper a couple of weeks back but glad it’s only cosmetic. The car is absolutely fantastic on the inside. I don’t have the digital dash and it looks mad cool, but I did upgrade the small standard screen to the Android screen and it gives the interior a little boost as well as bring me the car play features. Not perfect with audio all the time but gives me all the tools etc that I was missing. (On that subject, any ideas from yourself or fan base on stopping the screen bracket creaking?) Anyway, totally agree, an awesome place to drive and it always feels welcoming.
Hello mate, your car stills sounds brilliant! Sorry to hear you had a ding but sounds like an easier one to repair! Do you have any sunglasses in the compartment above the center console? I had a creek for weeks then I realised it was my sunglasses moving around in there! Other than that I diden't run into many interior creeks if I did they went away on there own.
@@ABAUTOAMG a good idea for sure, but yes, I have indeed come across this one before and tried it without the sunglasses in that overhead hidyhole. It seems to be from the main centre console area around the screen but I can’t seem to narrow down its exact location in able to find a solution to the issue. An odd one for sure. Thanks man, the car is definitely awesome and really enjoying it. The minor damage left is the front grille which is now got a small hole punched through and the front bumper is slightly misshapen. Got a quote for the part required from Mercedes and was plesently surprised so it’s good to know it’s all fixable.
It's odd they choose to call it the menu button since it only really brings up the air flow, temps etc. I think its designed so you can see all the information/current settings quicky. The real menu buttons are by the touchpad/wheel.
No probs! Heres the tour th-cam.com/video/035YgSDuCT8/w-d-xo.html and heres my 5 cool features on the dash video th-cam.com/video/9BxBcH5fxnw/w-d-xo.html
I have a c220 coupe amg but mine does not have amg printed on the tray cover thing where the wireless/cup holders live. Should all AMG’s have that? Mine is supposed to be amg but it doesn’t have the amg print
Hi Miss Hanna, AMG are the Mercedes performance models. The C220 is a standard Mercedes but you can get it in a trim called "AMG line" which sounds like you have. AMG line just means it has some AMG trim parts, its a higher spec of the normal cars to make them feel a bit more sporty looking. The full AMGs are very different to the AMG line trim models.
Can‘t wait for you to finally receive your CLA man. Keep up the great work!
Thanks man! Will make a interior tour of the cla45s too when it arrives! :)

Hi Shiv, that is amazing big congrats! You are going to absolutely love it!
Why not buy a c63? 😂😂
This car is a true driver's car. In sport mode, you totally forget these functions. All you think is about the driving experience.
What a joke 😂😂 this is not a “drivers car” it’s a regular car. Nothing special. Hyundai has a more driver focused car than this fake “amg”
@@MARKBENNETT-k1i sure, speak for yourself. How long have you been unhappy with life? The internet is full of liars.
Great video, love this interior wish my 2017 gls had the same.
Thank you. Awesome review :)
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it! :)
too busy to watch your videos now Adam, (zooming around in the CLA45s SB) lol......nah more interested than ever now in them!
Aha! Bet your are loving it? I tried to add you on IG to see your pics! Add me @abutoamg
@@ABAUTOAMG have you found me yet?
Still no luck which is bizzare! Can you send us a mesaage on instagram?

@@overtheordinary666 Yeah. Same thought. I might end up getting a c63
@@billyz4025 great choice! make sure you get great winters as that RWD is scary 😦
Hey Shiv, I still love the C43 its an amazing car and a great choice for your situation. Enjoy many happy miles! :)
I've noticed that pre 2019 the seatbelts are not adjustable, that's another big difference
My used 2019 e63 AMG wagon came with $200 in the hidden console shelf, lol
Aha that's mad! 😁
Getting mine in 5 months 🤤
You said this 2 years ago. I’m sure you never got it 😂😂😂😂
@@MARKBENNETT-k1i I macked my Porsche 😞

I was hoping to see the interior ambient lighting , does it have the ambient lighting?
Hi Pouya, this is one of my older vids but its more focused on lighting th-cam.com/video/2ic80IcldMU/w-d-xo.html
The menu button doesn’t do anything besides show me the air flow, what does yours do??
It's odd they choose to call it the menu button since it only really brings up the air flow, temps etc. I think its designed so you can see all the information/current settings quicky. The real menu buttons are by the touchpad/wheel.
Can you link the video on the digital display please? 😀

@@ABAUTOAMG Thanks man! Apreciate it
At around 12:33 in your video it has a C icon near what gear you are in. What does that mean?
Hi Steven, The C stands for comfort mode. It has the letter of the current drive mode next to the gears.
Oh, the facelift doesn’t have a cd player! I must be old, because it’s the most used music source on mine! 😎
Ah yep! No CD players anymore in the newer Mercs :(

@@ABAUTOAMG that was very helpful, thank you. Love your videos! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Does it have ambient lighting?
@@fingerlickinggood2177 Yep! I think you need the premium or premium plus pack to get all the colours though.
@@ABAUTOAMG oh ok thank you
Disappointed that the red stitching on the bolsters on my C43 seats is starting to fray
Really? Sorry to hear that, perhaos a defect? Mine are solid. Is the car still under warranty?
@@ABAUTOAMG , yes but not sure how receptive the dealer would be to fixing it
