Had mine now for nearly a year, bought it brand new 73 plate . Only thing I’ve done to it is put 20’s on it ! I do love the car, bought the Pollar white. I had enough of tuning cars and spending money on the cars giving them more power spent thousands … so I bought the hyper hatch ! It’s fast enough for me !
I have mine for 5months and love it , its the most driver focused car i have had by far and i have owned a Subaru impreza bmw m140! M340! , golf r stage 1 and misses has a mk8 golf gti . Not done any modifications yet but probably will do a remap in the future
Yeah it’s properly sorted, I’m glad you are feeling the same way! I’ve had rs3, s3, older 45 and nothing compares man! Yeah, choose tuner carefully when you do remap as this is a tricky platform to tune, EST have it sorted!
@@DreamscapeAutomotiveEST performance is local ishl to me . From what I have seen they have done a lot of research and development into the merc 45s . I think you have definitely got to be careful with this car , it's already running high boost
@@sv-rh4dzyeah they are the people who have developed it the most mate, I spent half an hour on the phone to the owner and he went through the stage 2 with me, mega stuff!
@@DreamscapeAutomotiveWould consider going stage 2 but a major concern would be if it is resealable when I want to change the car or would it be best to turn it back to standard . Will be interesting to see what times Hampshire photography gets out of his now he has had the tcu done
@@sv-rh4dz I think stage 2 is still reversible it’s just the labour mate as the downpipe is a mare to change, but depends how much you want to chase numbers. I’m going stage 2! Yeah I’m buzzing to see his future videos of it!
I got mine new in June, didn't go for Magno Grey though I went for Metallic Grey with the yellow stitching, put 2200 miles on it up to now, it's an amazing car.
Loved the yellow tubing, I just wanted one with grey/black interior as the future may hold some decals/livery for the channel which is blue! Glad you are enjoying your car mate 🤞🏻
100% agree with all your comments but my sunglasses holder and glove box are ok😅, still loving mine 20 months later, I have had numerous high performance cars of all marques and love this the most, great review thanks for taking the time to explain how good the car is and it’s not only me who thinks this . 🤙🏻
Hello mate, thanks for the comment! Yeah, I have stronger feelings now that I ever did, it’s a petrol head thing! Glad you enjoyed the video, more to come 😝😝
This color & black look very good in weathers that are rainy or cloudy. My A45s I polar white , and I live in a hot sunny place so I think white, and other bright colors look good in sunny weather
I watched a 45 min video in 2x speed and no drifting??? Doh!! A vacant car park and no drift, shame on you bro! lol. nice vid, I've had mine since mar 2023, love it everyday like i picked it up from the dealership brand spanking new with only 8km on the clock. Glove box sits perfectly. I need to know where you got your decals from though. I have spacers from H&R, makes the car look tough, and have eibach pro kit lowered springs, first couple of days i was rubbing up the guards, that has since long gone now. one thing i've noticed, is in the morning upon starting up and taking off slowly, i can feel like as if the gear box or something not tight, slight bit of forward and backward movement. however once the car is warmed up it's all ok. so not sure what that is about and wondering if you get that in the mornings. send me link to the decal store - oh and you got sunglass holder? wtf i had to go check mine as i never knew there was one, and there isn't, there is a sensor though in place of where you glass holder is
Haha no illegal behaviour allowed on youtube 🤣 I’m glad you’re enjoying yours mate, some machines! I was rubbing awfully as described but it’s all sorted now. Decals are EBay from a German supplier, I can’t put a link here, if you want to drop me a DM on instagram I can link you there? The gearbox thing I know what you mean, but it’s almost unnoticeable after I’ve set off, maybe just a characteristic of this transmission! Yours will be a facelift? That’ll be why the sunglasses holder isn’t there 😢😢
@@DreamscapeAutomotive i do have the center arm knob and stuff, so not the 2023 model facelift, though there was a minor change between 2022/2023 with some lighting and no charger, possibly also the sunglass holder. can you add the link or info in your description, i'm sure that is allowed

To be honest it’s mental from factory, I don’t know why I’ve got to mess with it but it’s in my blood, enjoy it mate 🙏🏻
Great video yet again.
Mine is the A35, but it is just as much fun.
Thanks mate! Aye, equal fun 🤞🏻

Yeah the overcast clouds make the magno grey very ‘moody’, you nailed it! I love polar white, I bet it’s amazing driving that in a hot sunny place 😎😎
Yes , it’s a great vibe / experience evertime I drive it .
@@Advancingbeing-of8uf keep enjoying it, thanks for the comments 👍🏻
I need one of these in my life❤
Honestly you wouldn’t regret it!
@DreamscapeAutomotive I doubt I would, but on second thought.....RS3 😈
