  • This is the Mercedes-AMG A35! The sportier brother to last years all-new A-Class is designed to be a class-leading hot hatch that you can live with on a daily basis. It’s taking on established names such as the Golf R and Civic Type R, and there’s no denying that it looks like it has the ability to compete when it comes to the exterior looks! But with such a high price tag, is it really worth it? Stick with Mat in his latest review to find out!

    For £44k I would wait for the A45, which will probably start at £50k and have most of the styling kit included and, lets face it, if you're buying this, the A45 is the one you really want...

    I'd go for the spoiler, but either way it's a lovely car. A true Classy Hyper Hatch, I must admit that back in the 90s I never thought such a thing would exist. Hot Hatches were just little shopping cars with way more power, the closest you got to luxury was electric windows and mirrors (and even that was only if you're lucky!) Things have progressed so far, with top ends hitting 160+mph and 60 in just over 4 seconds. My beloved (by me anyway) Astra GTE 16 valve had 150+BHP, 60 in over 7 seconds and 135mph top end, even warm hatches exceed that nowadays!!! I hope they keep on pushing these motors ever faster and safer!!!

    Hi, I have this a35 too. I have one question. When your camera was on the speed display when you were accelerating you could see the visuals from yellow to red telling you when to shift up. I never see that but I do see the ‘blocks’ . Does that only happen when you put it in manual mode?

    So it’s pretty much what the M140i is to the M2. The problem is the M140i doesn’t pretend to be an M2. Deffo a rear spoiler delete and no loud paint to give it a bit more of its own identity.
    Not sure if it will tempt people away from their Golf Rs as with options the Merc as lovely as it is ...is pricey. Plus some people unfortunately want the fastest car in the range. Not the 2nd

    Wow, they gave you a version without AMG seats and the fancy steering wheel buttons? Srsly? No wonder you feel like it's pretty similar to the regular A class...

      holy mackerel, I just opened the configurator from Mercedes UK. Are they seriously not offering those things in A35 in the UK?!??!?!?

      @Horizon301. 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      blipinsk no hence I would never get a Mercedes, you get more standard equipment on a 3 series than the s Class. Let that sit in bearing in mind it costs three times as much

  • @AaronRandolphChen
    @AaronRandolphChen 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I love the new A Class design, and have myself owned a 2015 A250 Sport. Since the A35 is supposed to sit under the new A45 (if Mercedes don't decide to change the nomenclature again), I think that rear spoiler is a little bit OTT for my personal tastes. Those alloys also are just way too easy to kerb and damage. So will I buy the new A35? No, the A250 is gone now specifically because the suspension was simply too unforgiving for our horrible road surfaces here in Indonesia, and I've sacrificed the fun-factor for comfort instead - don't laugh! Much happier with our E400 ......... thank you!

    Amazing car but the styling leaves a lot to be desired at that price point. Looks exactly like the much cheaper A Class AMG line you see on the road every day. Could've done better

      Chris It did have some mods to the exhaust system and the driver cheated on the brake test! That being said the Audi sounds much better and is the same as a Golf R (brilliant car) just with four rings on it!

    • @AS-rw5gz
      @AS-rw5gz 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Luke Beaston that exhaust mod (resonator delete) doesn’t improve performance, it just improves the stock sound by making it deeper and throatier.

    • @LukeBeasto
      @LukeBeasto 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      A S it improves air flow so theres no backwards pressure improving performance in the lower end of revs so it does! The Golf R and S3 are the same car and it thrashed the Golf you tell me its no modded!

      Chris Abbott It looks crap. The screens make it worse, since they look expensive, but the rest is cheap plastic.
      Luxurious hatchback does not exist. Anyone that things the mercedes badge makes it luxurious is a moron.
      You get luxury interior on E class and above, same with bmw and audi.

    This at 35k could be a challenging proposal for golf r buyers if options didn't skyrocket the price out of orbit. Idk, this and golf r has a sleeper look that is just a lot more fun Imho, but instead of paying 45k for this one, I'd definitely splunge another 5-10k and reach for an rs3 or a45, because they come with most of those options included, and they can be quite fun sleeper killers themselves.
