I bought an A45S 6 weeks ago. It's a car that tells you that it really wants to go. It breathes and lives on power. I had an A45 before but the "s" is in a different class altogether.
Can i ask something,my next car was definitely going to be an RS3 but for the last 4/5 weeks iv been watching a lot on the A45 S so my question is,IF you have had both,or if you haven’t,do you highly recommend the A45 S ? Does it really live up to the expectations of what people are saying in these videos ? What i love about them is,they seem very quick out there box & love the Ambient lighting in the evenings,if i do get one ill want it with pan roof & the better speakers
@@tonylyons9772 Yes it does live up to my expectations. Mine does not have a pan roof. I do miss that but that's how the car came. There is enough power even in comfort mode. You won't regret it.
@@tonylyons9772I have had mine for about 6 weeks, I tried a 2020 plate rs3 before I bought the a45s and it isn't a drivers car probably down to the haldex 4 wheel drive system. I drove a a45s and within 5 minutes it amazed me and now puts a massive smile on my face every time
Think that is solely down to driving dynamics preference chap. Best bet - go drive one! Certainly blew my mind - bang for buck though it’s a tough call. If your SOLE interest is as fast as possible A-B it would mince the comp over distance - but I’d prefer to get the in the Bimmer 👍 BOTH IMMENSE IN THEIR OWN RIGHT
Lovely review from a cracking car ! I own a baby A35 which is really nice and pretty quick for what it is. Naturally my dream car is what you’re reviewing right now but the AMG 45s is way out of my budget. Again what a beautiful car.
Interestingly just watched the Car Guys talk about their Yaris GRs and state - their is nothing that could keep up / leave this behind on a B road - I think you nay have found the one car that possibly could! Cheers as ever CMD
Not sure about that one KMG It’s defo arley got the legs - would certainly give the Yaris a run for the money… but also costa £28k more 🤔 Cheers as always fella x
Certainly a great candidate chap. Trying to think what could do it better - RS6 would feature for similar money but would be an older car. Would back the Merc to be faster too 🤔
I just own a A45s facelift last week . Sadly it broke down due to fuel pump issue . Dealer changed it but it did have an unstable idle once or twice after I fill up the gas . Really frustrating because it is a brand new car.
Had this one highlighted a few times - agree that a “quick read up” here let me down. The reality of doing what I can with limited time available - lesson learned
The a45 doesn't replace or supersede the a35. They are both available from mercedes.
My bad chap - Lack of Merc knowledge on show for all to see 👀

Wouldn’t say its a predecessor, completely different price bracket and A35 still available
My bad fella 👍
Hi BOSS
It is necessary to replace m2comp for A45S ?

If I was in the market for a hatch this would definitely be on the list to consider. Nice review CMD, keep them coming pal.
Cheers CP X
Very good review.
Cheers fella 👍
if you place it into race mode and enable drift mode, it sends more than just 50% power to the rear
Noted
Id take mine in cla45s form 👌🏻 Looking forward to the fk8 review.
Yeah good thought dude 👌

Thank you Paul 😊
Trying my best 👍
Live the A35 - cracking runner and stealth in looks 👌

Tempted to sell my M2 and go for one of these
I need a 1 car garage this might be a decent candidate🤔
Certainly a great candidate chap.

That sounds like a frustrating experience chap. Fingers crossed you get the issues resolved - beast on the move!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The A45s replaced the earlier A45!!! Not the A35.....might want to do your research before you post video's mate 👍

He got the power wrong the amg a45s is 415/421hp
Cheers for correcting
