Love the car and videos mate keep it up! I recommend some Mercedes/AMG dust caps to add that final touch 👍👍

[@christopheratkinson1690]

Magnificent video very informative. When mine arrives this video helps me understand this wonderful car and looking forward to all your videos.Running the car in will be so hard for me but you have made me understand the importance of looking after the hand built engine. I only keep my cars for 2 years but this car I have decided to keep it 3 years and run it in with the next owner in mind. Thanks for your really hard work. Keep it up when I get my Cla 45 s hopefully you may find it hard to comment on all replies because of so many followers🤗

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Thanks Christopher, I hope you car arrives soon!

Can you explain how to do the emotion start? Thank you! Ordered my cla45 back in June and it’s finally on its way to the US super excited and trying to learn every little detail about it!

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey Alejandra, no problem! It’s really easy you just have to hold down one of the paddles while pressing the start button. I’m working on a video with my 10 cool features I’ve discovered so far. Hopefully will be my next upload! :)

[@georgelaue5577]

Just put the deposit down on my first AMG. It's not a true one as it's only a A Class A35 but has most of the same features as your 45s and even a couple of extras your doesn't, like a HUD and 360 camera system. Overall I am so excited to get it and drive it. My first new car in my life that's mine. I realized when I was shopping that I have bought everyone else a new car but never me. So I decided Dad is finally getting a new car.

[@ABAUTOAMG]

That's amazing to hear George, big congrats! Sounds like you treated yourself and you deserve it :) That's great to hear you were able to get the HUD and 360 camera. I really wanted these but in the UK we don't get this option on any of the A/CLA range.

Nice!

[@musamusa2961]

Thank God, I will buy one for myself

[@ctailx]

Love your videos! Quick question…any idea why the CLA 45s isn’t available in the US? I only see the CLA 45 model on the US configurator.

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Thanks Crystal, for some reason they have not released the s model to the US. No idea why as many people want it :(

[@ZeAmine]

So it's doesn't take the sales away from the C43. Same reason we didn't get the A45 AMG. And same reason they discontinued the A35 AMG this year...

[@user-tj9zc9cm2g]

So 97 octane is also acceptable did you notice any difference fuelling up 97 instead of 98 ?

[@SkyhawksAu]

5:04 - Just a little condensation in the reverse light there.

[@ABAUTOAMG]

It’s ok it was a freezing foggy morning in England so there was lots of moisture from de-icing the car. Nothing to worry about and completely normal :)

[@ionutalex6395]

I really appreciate your videos, lots of info you don't usually get from the basic youtube reviews. I would have one question: how would you rate the ride of the CLA 45 in comfort mode on poor B roads as well as on the motorway? I'm currently owning a hot hatch and despite the suspension not being extremely stiff, I find the busy ride kind of annoying for everyday driving, especially on roads with small potholes and bumps. I'm curious if the adaptive suspension in the CLA 45 makes up for this, the way the Civic Type R does, for example.

[@harshhell4185]

Don’t suppose you ever found out? I’m interested in this also.

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Ah sorry I must of missed this comment! To be honest I find the car overall very comfortable even with the performance seats but I have always driven stuff suspension cars. I’d say it’s nowhere near as comfortable as say a SUV or eclass on small wheels but I find it great comfort for long journeys and the dampers do a pretty good job over bumps.

[@harshhell4185]

@@ABAUTOAMG Thanks for the response 👍

[@ABAUTOAMG]

No problem, I do plan on doing some more in-depth videos on comfort. I’m working on a full review of the AMG performance seats and we’re also having a little family road trip with my wife and daughter to legoland next week so I may film the ride and put something together from it :)

[@harshhell4185]

@@ABAUTOAMG I have an RS4 on order. The wife and I love CLA 45s. The car is stunning and the interior is something else. My wife test drove the A45s but said it was a bit harsh on normal roads. I can’t find one of these to test, but I doubt there would be much, if any difference. Even it not having the auto boot isn’t putting me off 😂. That paint is stunning also.

[@v1ktos]

Great video mate and I’m still learning new things on mine all the time! Out of interest have you had contact from Mercedes’ to arrange your free track day as I’ve had nothing as yet?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey Vikas, Thanks! So many nice quirks with these cars! Always learning more here too! I don’t think they contact us, you have to call up or email Mercedes world directly to arrange. I’m waiting till the summer to do mine! :)

[@JayJay-ym5jx]

Is there any creaking noises that come from the dash? What’s the color?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey Jay, none so far for me but I’m only 2k miles in now. The colour is called Designo Magno Mountain grey. It’s a matte finish.

[@SilvioManfredDante]

Been looking at this for myself, but what is the difference between the 2022 and the 2021 model?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey Silvio, although still a great car for the 2022 model Mercedes stripped features from the car due to the chip supply shortages but they also raised the price too. Still a great car but all cars at the moment are tricky to get a hold of :(

[@jamesimmanuel8600]

Talking about what you wanna do to that beauty is not cool enough. I wanna see you do it man.🤗

[@ABAUTOAMG]

It’s coming! 😁

[@TyinAlaska]

So, I'm confused about your claimed horse power. The official (US) Mercedes hp figure is 382. That's quite a difference. Can you help me understand where the difference is coming from?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

No problem, In the Uk and Germany we have a model called the CLA45”s” the s is the faster version with 421 hp. You can also buy the non ‘s’ version which has 382 hp. For some reason Mercedes decided to not sell the S model in America and you can only buy the standard 45. If you goto the CLA on this page you can see the difference between the two and more details. www.mercedes-amg.com/en/vehicles.html

[@afatpenguin6999]

thanks to Mercedes dropping the inline 6 and the chip[ shortage my 2020 C 43 is now worth 20k more than I bought it for in my area. But I can't give her up.

[@ABAUTOAMG]

It’s due to the current used market increase why your car is worth more (all used cars went up by over 50% due to the production delays in new cars. It’s too early to know what will happen when the new ones go into production. Even though the V6 is amazing and I much prefer it I suspect your car will drop in value when the new one arrives purely based on how other cars have but still should be worth a decent amount.

Does the ''breaking in new vehicle'' first 1000 miles also count for the a35 amg?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey RJAVD, I would still recommend breaking in the a35 for the first 1000 miles if you are able to. It's good for any engine to be gently broken in :)

[@bn8530]

Now you are driving a proper AMG and not an AMG badging Mercedes like the c43 you had. I recall stumbling on one of those videos and made a comment about it. Welcome to the family!! If your engine doesn’t have a signed signature then it’s not built by AMG. This car is build from the ground up by AMG. The c43 or anything 43 is just a marketing plow by benz to upsell the car by adding AMG body styling.

[@roarbahamut9866]

For an elitist, you are very wrong about this lol This car isnt build up from the ground by AMG, its just the engine + a bodykit. A true "from the ground up" AMG would be a AMG GTS or GT63. Those cars are only build by AMG and there isnt a "not AMG" model, unlike the A, CLA, C, E and so on.

[@bn8530]

@roar Do you own a Mercedes or an AMG? Talking about elitist. Lol. You think AMG only builds V8? Besides the time for V8 is gone..they will build a full electric car. What makes an AMG an AMG is the building of the engine “one man one engine”. And when AMG does that they typically bullied the chassis and the gearbox and they styling cues. Don’t argue or say sh!t when you probably come online to leave your life through videos of others. We’ve been driving benz before KZbinrs where even making videos about benz.

[@4K_HDR_training_center]

05:02 humid in the lamp? is it normal?

In these conditions Yep. It was cold winter time. You can see condensation on the exterior paintwork, that’s not rain. Haven’t had any issues with the lights all year round since but always worth looking out for.

5:04 the seal for the left taillight is already broken??

Huh? The car was very dirty here over the winter so perhaps that’s what you are seeing from cameras eye? Just to confirm though there’s nothing broken here otherwise the car would be straight in under warranty. I think it may just be a trick of the eye :)
