I just got bought the car. Everyone complaining about build quality etc... Standards are so high now. Its a great car, fast, all you need for the road, spacious. Only critism i have is the odd seat shapes. Not comfortable to drive long distance
On the motorway in the UK, at 70mph cruise I get 42mpg. Country Road driving I get about 28mpg. However the seats annoyed me so much I've just ordered a brand new A45s to collect end of this month. I traded my A35 back and got more money that I bought it for haha
@@deanwoods6491 Okay cool. the fuel consumption is not as bad as I thought. I live in South Africa and I travel 23 km to work and another 23 km back. I usually use the freeway but sometimes I go through town.
Awesome review If you don't mind me giving a few pointers. Please prioritise performance and interior quality as well as functionality in your reviews. The cabin is where the driver will sit in the most on a daily basis and I think that's where most automotive review watchers wanna know the most about. Like how the infotainment works(going through some of it's basic functions), cabin practicality and nitpicks that they'll have to live with. I feel like you were too fast going over them and didn't really get much information on what to expect. I'm aware that there's time constraints cause of how long you get to have the car but if you can work out a way to prioritise those two things. I'm confident it'll produce great results for your channel.

The creaks that comes with that interior....... build quality is abit questionable for the price
Awesome review

The gearbox is an 8 speed not 9, in the pre facelift it was 7 speed
Wonderfull review bro🙌
Thank you 🙌
Awesome Car Awesome Video Quality
I'm glad you like it
Name of the mic you used?
9 speed ? Is 8 speed
Pick mine up at end of the month!
Doooope! Congratulations
is the video shot in Akasia, much love ....
👊🏽👊🏽
Great video! Just a minor error in your review - it’s an 8 speed dual clutch gearbox NOT 9 speed.
Thanks for that!
What's the price?
R1.1 million
❤MY all time favorite
👊🏽👊🏽
Price?
1.1 Million
Can you please do the cla 35
There is no cla 35. There is only a35 sedan and cla 45.
Wait this is South Africa yes
Shout out from pretoria Chantel
Shoutout fellow North fam 🤝🏾👊🏽👊🏽
Wait. 26-30 year old in a brand new A35 is living!
Some in c43
Some are even in A45s’
Great review.
Good looking car. I'd take this over an Audi S3 or Subaru WRX.
I'd opt for a sedan instead of a hatch
thank you! great choice
Please give us a BMW X7 M60i🙏💯review
Will try and arrange that
I prefer this over the A45 for obvious reasons.
What are the obvious reasons? Price?
@@kumbimoncars both cars have firm rides but that A35 is smoother, and of course the price.
For comparison, please rather compare this with GTI instead of Golf R. This is A35 and not A45😇.
Nope, comparison is with the Golf R and the not the GTI. The A35 competes with the S3, WRX and Golf R.
@@kumbimoncars And a45 competes with?
A45 competes with RS3, M2, vw has no competition
@@williammasoma9563 you mean VW doesn't compete with the cars you mentioned
It looks good from every angle.🔥🔥 However I'm not sure about the built quality.
Looks good indeed! I didn’t hear any squeaks or rattles in my unit.
I'd go for a BMW 128ti
interesting choice
But the BMW is a class below this ....Maybe the 135 M is a direct competitor
@kagisomogoshane5094 on paper, yes, but I don't think you really need anything more than what the 128ti offers
@@lekgwarengsehlodimela572 I get you
You have jumped cost of ownership. Cost of ownership
Will bring it back.
Amg a45s 2023
coming soon
Bone Voter model mercedes 😅😅😅.
The interior quality is poverty. Build quality is poor although it looks flashy.
Interesting take.
Poor man’s AMG
Poor man? This thing is R1.2M
@@kumbimoncars and that’s expensive to you?😂
