A car with a 4 cylinder for a change 😂
😂😂
😂😂
How much is this car?
So this car has 8 speed?? Huh
I think it has excellent gearing...hence why its so quick to 100
Mercedes have absolutely mastered the interiors on their cars! The furniture, lights and screens are just fuego! Those quick shifts reminded me of the PDK Porsche GT3 gearbox. Seems like a great car, although I think the RS3 has got more character. Great review bro, looking forward to more👌
They look nice, but they’re plasticky and cheaply made. You won’t find that in an Audi
@@Dave_dave69 Audis interior build quality is far worse than the A class.
@@Dave_dave69 check out the new RS3 video. You'll be disappointed
Only the real ones remember when he used to have that iconic hand pointing towards the car in the thumbnail
Shall I bring it back?
@@TRHamza definitely bro
@@TRHamza yesss
@@TRHamza yesssss
@TR Hamza please bro
You drive RS3: understeer. You drive new A45s: pleasure and involvement! Huge difference!
Rear Wiper: On
Only just noticed 😂
Guess the cabin insulation is good then 😂
The rear window wiper was driving me nuts lol
Looks so much better, aggression and class ticked! 👌👌
8:19 the new merc's always have that wow factor, like that interior looks unreal, especially if you had some night drive pov's
Another class review from man like hamza , keep them coming
Hamza complaining that it’s cold... With the pan roof open 🤣
🤣🤣 No comment
@@TRHamza Love your videos bro. ❤️
Quality content as always 🔥🔥
🙌🏼 Thank you
I love the new cinematics and the whole video.. ❤️
I wud take this over an RS3 only because of the design and interior - Audi just been lazy
Well the 8V series has been out since 2013
Copied ttrs air vents.
Engine over design and interior any day for me. A 4cyl cannot compete with a 5cyl sound wise.
If Gucci interiors are your thing.. yeah take form over function 👍
New rs3 interior is superior, integrated sat nav/screen. Its a thing of absolute beauty. Rs3 all day long in my humble opinion.
im having fun just to see you smile after your floor that gaz pedal ! damn that sound is nice and the ratio of the gear box seems spot on. thanks for that road test
My man is blown away!! 👏🏼 These'll be mega in a few years on the used market. I'd take one as a second daily
That interior 🤯 stunning
One of the best car channels on TH-cam at the minute keep it up mate👍🏻
I bought my rs3 purely for the sound and exterior. But I have to admit, no one can beat Mercedes when it comes to interior. The one merc I want is the 6.2l c63, now that’s a nice sounding car
Yes bro smashing it
My dream car, cant believe your lucky enough to even drive it !
Good review! Thx for your efforts 🙏🏼
Wicked video my brother,the black colour suits the merc makes it look real nice
Great video, these look like fun little pocket rockets. I really like the CLA45s
Great car, great review. Dont know if you realised that back wiper kept going off 😂
I really like this car! interior looks great, sound is great, styling and sporty look..WIN. On the goals list for sure, yet to drive. First my next car is gonna be the VW Golf R Mk8. Hamza have you done a review on it yet? Big ups man!
They really stepped up to the mark with this one
Yes cuzzy bro 👌🏽
Doing bits out here
Defiantly needs more subs great content
Thank you
bro mad review oh my god thats so sick I love mine!!
I honestly would go a45s just cause I love the hatch look with all that torque , but I like the rs3 too
You are the top man. Go to channel ..... come so far. Even got cars talking to you !
As nice as that interior is, the 5 pot sounds will always win...everytime 👌
If Mercedes comes out with a 5 cylinder it will be a game changer. 4 cylinder , 420hp, 500Nm and the new C63S is 475hp with the same M139 engine. Add an additional cylinder and I am sure it would be a different league.
Love the AMG A45 😋
The car looks great but sounds like a leafblower in comparison to the RS3
FL RS3 driver here, you are never going to get that addictive deep burble/epic exhaust note from a 4 pot although no doubt that interior looks a generation ahead of the RS3 but Audis have never been known for bling extravagant interiors.
@@ad_2211 I wouldn’t call this interior extravagant. For me it just trying to scream “look I am expensive” while having cheap quality materials all over the places. It looks showy, trying to draw attention.
Audi/Porsche interiors are more minimalistic and have better quality, I personally like that more
RS3 sounds like a fart can and gets worse each year. Fan boys have to let go. 🤣 Golf R32 sounds better than both. Am I gonna hold onto that forever? 😂
105hp per half litre. Wow. That's really impressive.
This new vacuum cleaner sounds crazy!!
I wasn't the biggest fan of the old a45 but this is on a completely different level
Bangin car 🔥
Excellent review.💯💯
Yes. It is better. The interior design is another level 👍
Pan roof weighs a lot and is high up so less stable so I’d say getting it is a luxury rather than a sporty upgrade bro love content fam ❤️
AMG Interior > RS3 Interior
Audis pre 2017 has worst interior than Toyota
@@frankwizard7496 U joking? They had class leading interior up until this gen A3. Audi are known for having the best quality interiors.
@@SenszR yea i cant speak for quality but its outdated as hell, same with all of their cars,
Nah Mercedes has to much fancy looking stuff on the interior, keep it simple. Also the Mercedes virtual cockpit does not look good.
@@SenszR Bro you have it was written as your display pic so im with you
Now we need to see you drive a mapped one!
Not a Big merc fan ... but that thing looks brutal 😁 top class cockpit design too.
Rs3 for life Hamza love the vids BTW
Deffo the spec to have 🔥👌🏾
Such a genuine guy! Seriously you should send an audition tape to topgear!!
Cool car for sure owned an rs3 and an a45 I would have to say rs3 all day long something special about a 5 cylinder engine especially Audis.
No denying the performance and interior is spot on - the rear of the car loses me, and the vacuum cleaner engine is a shame.
I will take a 5 pot RS3 every day
Pre OPF for sure, wait until the one comes out post regulations.
The back end just isn’t aggressive enough, I think it’s the shape of the lights
Akrapovic exhaust solves this easy
Buy both 🤷🏽♂️
I really like the AMG versions of the A-Class, especially the A35 sedan. I don't know if the AMG A35 sedan exists in the UK, but i've always liked sporty compact cars, so naturally I liked it. I think if I got an A-Class, i'd probably get the A35, the A45 S is a bit overkill for me, haha. Nice car though!
Yeah you can get the a35 in the UK
“The car wanted to have a chat with me” 🤣
Merc has got next level interior👍 apart from the rear end that's where I'm lost
yes Quality content ! & Im sure i have given you necessary flak in the past but nonetheless still providing sharp talking reviews
We got facelift rs3. Before particulate filter stuff. I genuinely believe e we got one of best soundin rs3. Apart from pre face they say sounds even more epic. New rs3 gonna have 430 ish engine hp. Roughly 380 wheel. Not bad. I'm audicentric any way. I do like the 45 amg pushing 421 . Doesn't sound anywhere near as good as rs3. But dont get me wrong. An awsome hatch
This is the only other hatch I'd trade up my M140i for.
I love the exterior styling, the performance and handling is incredible, I just don't like the chinzy interior much. Those chrome air vents are really not my thing.
Edit to add, love your presenting style, and the way you edit the uploads, really good mate.
They light up though!
My days, you’ll be bigger than Carwow one day... loving the reviews!
Another question for you: Any idea of what tune for an OPF S3 to take it to 420bhp as reliably as that offers? It's a 2 litre 4 pot after all.
Were tossing up unitronc and apr . Just for stage 1. No TCU. Looking at extra 70-80 hp 100 torques with no bolt ons.
I don't even know what I was just sayin to be fair - Hamza
Damn dude left you speechless haha 😂
Love the RS3 but can’t leave this out!!
Finally an AMG 😍😍😍
On my shopping list. Just waiting for the 2021 RS3 first. Rumours over 420bhp & the performance 450bhp. 5 cylinder sound all day long for me 👍👍. Audi fan boy at heart, but A45s is a fantastic machine & may switch.
RS3 will forever be the GOAT of hot hatches. Can’t beat that 5cyl.
Lol, no
RS3 will always sound the best
@@umarnawaz6350 will almost agree with you on that but a mk2 Focus RS sounds just as good and doesn't fart between gearchanges.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it sounds the best but it’s not where near the best hot hatch.
6 pot forever
Rs3 a real beast fam
Honestly I think its a great car. But is so expensive for what it is. Like a used rs3 for like 20k less is a no brainer or m140i for 30k less IMO
A new RS3 is gonna cost you same money though, I think they are all stupidly expensive for hatchbacks
Yeah but the 45s depreciation is insanely bad.
great videos bro
No one does interiors better😍
Get both in ya garage Hamza, one with the 5 cylinder engine thrum, and one with the AMG brutal quickness
My RS3 is significantly faster than this car
Crazy work rate hamza!! by the way did you get the back bit of your yard all concreted or were they slabs looks great!!
Thank you! Yeah got it concreted mate thought I’d do it properly 👌🏼 Slabs always end up moving haha
Yo man please do a BMW M340i review I would love to see it and I’m sure others would aswell. If you can please do a review on it.
What a car!!
You know your cars!
Haven’t finished the video yet but honestly.. the A45 is sexiest in its class on the looks department
The old 45 is the most beautiful hatch on the planet 😍
@@spookyreaper1702 new>old
@@THBULLDOZER not in terms of looks.. the new one looks like a drop of water without the aero and with it makes it look slightly better but the old one omf sexy and aggressive looking for dayyyss and sounds much better
looks sick. only thing i would chage are the rims
This reminds me of the old A45 cool for a while then no one cared
Sweet ride
Hey what was the best cornering car you've driven so far?
RS3 🔥 2.5 Sound 5 Cilinder ❤️
is the sunroof half open? it looks like its not fully shut
Much better!
Also hamza it’s interesting to note too as I’ve spoke to a tuner on a car group who allegedly mapped a few of these that these cars actually produce around 421 bhp initially for the first 10 seconds on launch, and then it drops back to 370bhp. Not sure how true this is, but judging from drag races I’ve seen, this does look to be the case.
The A45S has readings for boost,bhp and torque,and funny enough for a short period of time when new mine would struggle to display over 370 odd bhp,but now it always stays up at around 423bhp mark,until you let off that is.
I do have a video where you see this in action.
@@TheTechGiantTH-cam I’ll definitely check this out! Thanks for clarifying. Saying that it would appear that when the cars new, Mercedes have actually restricted the car until it’s properly bedded in. This now makes sense!
@@thehelperofthepeopledems2525 Yeah there is an AMG sticker in the window,which I think I shown in my collection day video,and it states 1,000 miles run in,no going over about 4.5k.
Mine was run in when mine was displaying lower figures,but maybe the car didn't get the message lol
Also I do know that power is reduced until both the gearbox and engine hit a set temperature.
Again it could have been getting stick in reduced power mode for some reason.
Whatever caused it,it is all good now 🙂
Right in time for dinner 💪🏽
unbiased review as always, top video. not many rs3 owners would admit the a45 is better than the rs3 in so many ways, respect!
I actually can't think of any way this would be better other than the extra gear for fuel economy.
@@weg5856 driving engagment, the RS3 is boring.
10:13 The 45 turned him to an instant adrenaline junkie 🤣
How did you delete the softlimiter ?
Why did you test the city driving with the stiffness of the suspension in RACE mode🤔?
It's unfortunate that we don't get the hatchback here in America. I know we get the a45 coupe i think it's called? aka sedan or saloon in the UK
Would you recommend a remap of RS3? How do you know who to trust (having had issues with previous maps).
MRC tuning in Banbury 👍🏼
I've always loved RS3's but for my money a45 AMG all day. Much nicer to sit inside. Don't forget that the tech in the a class is from an s class ... Hands down
Sick 💥💥💥💥
🖤🖤🖤omg amazing
why do you always turn on the back wiper?
Cheeky audi ashtray chilling in the a45 🤣
Salaam brother any idea on how to fit rear middle seatbelt on a2007 seat Leon thanks
I followed you on instagram for soo long and only just found out you're a youtuber
When you said I cancelled that the car wanted to have a chat to with me lmao just couldn't stop laughing
Not crazy about the looks of this (love the rest of the line-up) but I love everything else about it. Now... that rear wiper was driving me nuts :)) - I had quite a few Audis before and only one Merc' (E55) and I would pick a Merc' again in a heartbeat (No disrespect to the lovely VAG family). The day will come! :) [many videos on my channel]
Great car. I wish we got these in Canada.
Pretty bleak you didn't do a little drag race vs the RS3. I tuned my car very close to yours. Little Wesker but I'd love to see the difference now B's the A45s
