What many don‘t know about this generation, is that it has a physical tube that brings intake sound through the fire wall into the cabin. The tube also has a valve which is essentially controlled with the exhaust button. This can not be compared with all that Active Sound Design crap most modern sports cars have. It is real intake sound. In real life the cabin noise of this car is really really good for a 4 cylinder. Better than this video. Is able to communicate.
Actually the only modern(ish) car with a distinctive 4 Cylinder Sound despite R5X Mini JCW and Hyundai I30N. At least these are the first to come to my mind when I think about it. Maybe you know some others, but please no EA888. Great engine though but mit the sound.
I had an A45 2016 (stage 1) for 4 years and never had any issue with it. Great car to drive but I never really liked the sound of it as it was ridiculous when shifting in sport +. Really cheap in maintenance as well. I'm now driving a Bmw 140 Xd (stage 2+) and that engine and gearbox are from another level, no comparison possible as they are not in the same league. The chassis in the A45 was perhaps a little too hard to drive daily, but the feeling in the steering wheel was very good for me.
My sibling has a MY16 CLA45 and it is such an aggressively tuned car from the factory. I'm reminded of the WRX STI in many ways in how it sounds and feels. Crazy this came from Mercedes of all manufacturers.
So many people were amazed with a 380 hp stock 2.0 turbo when this thing came up. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi had done it 10 years earlier with their Evo fq-400 that had 400 hp from factory..
The W176 A45 is a pretty cool bit of kit. It's fun to drive, it's quick enough and it sounds pretty nice for a 4- cylinder. Way better than the new A45 and the new "C63".
@5:56, I'm surprised to see the "bureau of land management" is tagging your tunnels. There should be a law against graffiti like that in such a beautiful country.
Maybe you can buy a KW strut/suspension set to make it more livable? I understand what you mean, my C63S is also pretty stiff and I would like it to be smoother/softer if I wanted it to daily drive it. Sadly KW doesn't have a solution for my car yet (at least not an controllable set which which is adaptive)
Absolutely love it!!! I'll have to be financially stable in every sense before purchasing my first supercar. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly because money left saving will end up with no returns.
True, Instead of sinking a large chunk of cash into a depreciating asset, you might want to consider other options that could provide more stability and potential growth.
I thought about how adding such a high-cost item might affect your overall financial goals? It's crucial to consider the long-term impact on your portfolio and financial stability.
Plus, with high mortgage rates looming, it's essential to prioritize investments that will provide a solid return and help you weather any economic uncertainties.
You don't need that much, as long as you have 250k to 350k in cash, and earn at least 40k plus is fine. It not like you are going to pay the car off, get the car, drive it for a year or two then get something else. You don't need millions of money to enjoy nice things. You just deploy a small amount of income to have some fun. Remember you are going to get this money back ( a good percentage) when you move it.
Most people miss it but the secret to retiring comfortably is finding a way to make returns while your money works for you. My Dad, as i remember started saving for retirement quite late but I know he was making more than 10k returns from his investments monthly and it was completely passive
@@GameXTwo True AMG is more raw and crazy. Imo true AMG = or a V8 or V12. V8 in a small sedan and V12 in a bug oppulent sedan! Like I said this is the little brother of an AMG

Better 4 cylinder sound than the new C63's 4 cylinder 🙂
True 🙂
Is it not the same engine though??
@@StefBelgiumbasically the same, but most of the sound is determined by the exhaust and modern cars are much more restricted when it comes to that

Watching from Kenya love the AMG
You need water?
Awesome video. Thanks for the video review(s) of our car(s)
So many people were amazed with a 380 hp stock 2.0 turbo when this thing came up. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi had done it 10 years earlier with their Evo fq-400 that had 400 hp from factory..
yeah, but that was quite high maintenance
That Evo was crap
yeah and only 100 of those evos were made
This will survive a lot more miles with this engine...
Also it's way more livable
That engine had hideous turbo lag. But I see your point.
The W176 A45 is a pretty cool bit of kit. It's fun to drive, it's quick enough and it sounds pretty nice for a 4- cylinder. Way better than the new A45 and the new "C63".
Remember this car from Project CARS series... what an absolute fun machine to drive
I've got a 2015 variant W176 A180. It has the M270 turbo engine. It is a great car to drive. Very quiet.
It's Benz so I must watch the video to the end ❤
I was contemplating getting one these last couple days and watched a ton of videos, the timing on this is incredible...
Same I’m just looking into what goes wrong with them
Watching from uganda 🇺🇬, I love this baby
Looks like pure automotive poetry.
Bring more content about this car pls
Not a fan of the engine sound but I love the looks of it 👌
Volvo's S60 T6 2.0L Polestar Twincharger is the real deal too
that thing sounds awesome 👌🏻
So cool i love this little car i wish my Formentor have sound like this 🙁
Great video, i love mine
Very Beautiful Car
hi guys, could you post a video of the new c8 z06? would be awesome to see it on the autobahn and a real 0-60 time

i have a gla45 amg and i must say that i will sell it for a s5, because its waayyy to firm the suspension is really uneccesarry hard.

“They tried to give you an AMG experience…”. Can’t possibly do that with a four banger.
I like the A45 but i like an optional 6 speed manual gearbox in that type of cars 😅😅😅
Unfortunately, 99% of Mercedes' interesting cars were/are automatic...
There has never been an manual AMG
@@mathiaspreissler1 i know just is my dreem the day AMG make manual options in every engines

@@miguelsampaio6199 It would be a very stiff clutch to handle all the torque, that's why AMG's are always automatic.

Almost every 4 cyl. Has a flatplane 😂😴
