2019 Mercedes A Class A250 Review - SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY

[@DubH46]

I'm not sure if I hate Canada for getting the hatch, or if I hate the U.S. for not getting it. Either way, I hate something. Great review guys, as usual.

[@DELOS13]

Warren Hopkins exactly

[@kclark8080]

Hatches don't sell well in the U.S.

[@DubH46]

K Clark I know you're right, but it's weird how there are so many hatch fans, but not many are sold. It sucks for us hatch fans.

[@kclark8080]

same goes for wagons....Would love to get my hands on a CLS Shooting Brake, but alas based the difference and price and payment would always be a negative. In regard to hatches, I would love if they'd offer those in limited quantities or on an as ordered basis.

[@ronaldmail00]

Its quite simple. hatch/wagon fans love practicality, thus the hatch. But because they are so practical they dont buy brand new cars to avoid initial depreciation. We are to practical for our own good

[@toddmediumwellingtoniii478]

these guys have to be the most unbiased reviewers

[@paulcunningham5327]

Todd Medium Wellington III but they like almost everything!! Like kids in a candy store!! 🤣 Every now and then I want to hear a bit of a Clarkson impression, but it's easy to trust them that's for sure

[@guod1973]

They are a bit of the fanboys on the Hyundai and Kia cars think they are trying to get more preproduction drives...but over all great reviews and videos

[@levonh.378]

what XD

[@TheStraightPipes]

We don't like a lot of things. We like a lot of things too

[@acchaladka]

TheStraightPipes liking things is fine. So is not liking things. I’d like to see a video of you guys not liking all the things, in one video. Clarkson imitations, maybe. Possibly awkward but I’d thumbs up before I watch I bet.

[@Nitinrks]

Guys honestly you have the best camera work any car reviewer on KZbin has.. i just love your videos... Keep it up guys... A happy subscriber

[@error404blah]

Why do you guys never actually drive a car with straight pipes?

[@TerrasClip]

sucksqueezebangblow Wasn't one of Jakubs Lexuses straight piped back then?

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes my ISF is still straight piped and my GS430 probably will be

[@error404blah]

TheStraightPipes cool, I'm a new subscriber and was just wondering. How about a straight piped Carrera GT someday?👍

[@TheStraightPipes]

Find us one and we'll drive it

[@error404blah]

TheStraightPipes sorry my dudes, mines in the shop😂. Ask Salomondrin.

[@Lt.Mingus69]

Great looking exterior and interior combined...well done Mercedes, putting this on the radar.

[@Personal_Comp]

Great detailed review, showing most of the features and paying much attention to details. Keep up with the most interesting reviews on YT!

[@isaacroder3025]

Wow, what a sick little car. And another awesome review! You guys are on the track to become motor journo legends!

[@xXmarkingupXx]

Im literally obsessed with this car right now, hope its going to be this good when it comes to Canada. Really looking forward to some more videos on this asap from you guys. Thanks for the amazing video! You increased the hype level even more for this car!!

[@TheStraightPipes]

It will look good.

[@rizrisedxb]

You Guys are the best. I mean it "THE BEST" Thanks a lot for all the video.

[@e1337prodigy]

8:05 what other review site would do that? None. That's why you guys rock. Straightpiper for life

[@petarknezovic9608]

Great video and hello from Split, Croatia 🇭🇷🇨🇦

[@JamesChavez]

Croatia is bloody beautiful. I had no idea.

[@DestianLight]

James Chavez The women even more so.

[@alanwolf5632]

Thank you man ;) Come visit once, for such a small country there is a reason we have around 20 million tourists per year

[@JamesChavez]

Y'all play a mean game of soccer, too.

[@leoipek8143]

@archie baldwin that's all of balkans and eastern europe unfortunately, croatia is probably above average for their location

[@skid9595]

Hands-down the best review and the most hardworking guys. I wish KZbin had an unlimited like button

[@iamthedutchbro]

Best auto reviews on KZbin. Love these guys.

[@metric85]

You guys one of the best car reviewer out there. Thumbs up!

[@darcygoesfast]

HP and TQ means more knowing the vehicle weight for better perspective. And a hot hatch without 3 pedals defies logic. Another pleasurable Thursday! thanks, guys!

[@mostafarashed9524]

I didn't even hit play yet and OMG you guys got hands on a car that I am so INTRIGUED in. Not only do I get a good glimpse of this car but with you guys I'll actually get a good sense of what this car is. Thank you, cannot wait to watch this! #NotificationGANG #CanadianKINGS

[@TheStraightPipes]

Hahahha thanks

[@MIGerlag]

Another fantastic video, great work guys. It baffles my mind how you don’t have millions of subscribers already, we need to do something about this, the current 160k community should to work together to spread the word, send everyone you know who’s into cars and stuff like this any one of their videos, the videos speak for themselves, we need to get them up to at least half a million by this time next month and 1 million the month after, the more there are the more they grow, these guys really deserve it. These guys can pull big numbers, we need to help them get known faster. #OperationSubscribeToTheStraightPipes Always rooting for you guys, I have great respect for your guys work.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Haha thanks so much

[@ericrubinoff2967]

I completely agree with Matthew. TSP is definitely one of my favorite KZbin car channels. Always looking forward to future videos! In terms of the A250, the technology seems over the top and it has some fun gimmicks but I'm not too keen on the double screen, I'm impressed they are doing it on the final production model! Seems more like a feature you would normally see on a concept car.

[@Nouvellecosse]

I've been here since over a year ago when there were 5k so you can just imagine how I felt! I was like, WTF?? But with that kind of growth in the realm of 3000% increase in a year, I think they're on the right track ;)

[@hyogomarume8345]

I’ve been paying close attention ever since becoming a patreon. Seems like they’re picking up 1000 subs per day lately. It’s only gonna grow faster from here on!

[@MarkGaudie]

Matthew Gerlag totally agree that’s it’s disgraceful Straight Pipes don’t have millions of subs. Best KZbin content period! 👍😎

[@thethespian5757]

You guys are THE BEST and I pretty much watch ALL car review channels.😥

[@EddyKahn]

Amazing review, please do A45 amg once you can. Thanks.

[@andyroswell3871]

4:08 man this is beautiful, i can tell Mercedes always makes cars beautiful and the dash awesome

[@TheTussman]

Always praise for you guys, and I freaked out when this video started. Thought I was seeing things then realized that I was on that road with my uncle 55 years ago!!! He was Serbian, born and living in Croatia at the time. He took me in his Fiat, carving those corners like a wildman! Go back when it's warmer and swim in the sea - you won't regret it.

[@TheTussman]

Also, your channel encouraged me to change my gravatar to the '69 GTO I had in '76. Once matted it with my buddy in the middle back seat - cassette tape launched off the dashboard directly between his eyes. Ahh, innocent youth.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Awesome

[@bsbbernal]

This review just straight (pipes) up destroyed any other hot hatch in my practical dream car list. Great review!

[@VPoje]

GJ guys on the video. You guys are getting better at this, i watched some of your old videos and your current format is way more polished and better edited. From the start you were fun and peppy, but now it's professional at the same time. Keep it up!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Awesome thanks for noticing. Always trying to improve

[@charles-davidberube1174]

A class all the way if i can afford the extra cash!

[@vonbellum]

Mk7.5 GTI owner here and I would probably place the A250 a close second but that might change if I drive it. The interior is better on the A class though, it puts stuff like the A3 to shame considering the price difference. I had a great test drive with the GTI (and got a good deal) and that's what nailed it for me.

[@charles-davidberube1174]

George Swain same for me, i have a 2016 gti and ml350 2015. I loved the understating and joy the car brought but this a class is just a class above. The only drawback will be the price. We're talking 40k territory for a well equipped a class..

[@jeremytd7072]

I never thought of a Mercedes because I considered it a stodgy brand growing up. Thanks to you guys I realize so many of their newer cars scream fun to drive with actual creature comforts.

[@MassiveDerek]

Probably, but no hatch in the USA boooooo

[@topchezify]

the straight pipes and doug demuro are the only good car channels left anymore. love what you guys are doing. thankyou for not being stupid like motortrend

[@TimVo]

Anyone else watching in anticipation for the one special effects scene in each video?

[@TheStraightPipes]

Lol I always try to do at least one

[@deansmits006]

It's a nice surprise, they don't overdo it either!

[@brianq103]

You mean Yuri doesn't actually know Nicki Minaj? Awe man! Duped again! :-)

[@TheStraightPipes]

He actually does. That's not the special effects scene in this one

[@brianq103]

Really? Awesome! Can he get Nicki to autograph the nipple tape she used as clothing in her last video for me? I'm a big fan of her "costumes". :-)

[@Papusiakk]

I love your intros, music always fits perfectly and they really make you wanna watch the entire video

[@Elmosmashing]

Best review of the A class by far. Keep up the great work guys!

[@WobblePizza]

If nothing else, it looks amazing. They knocked that out of the park.

[@mikeR39]

ZERO dislikes that's what I'm talking about! Another 🔥 video

[@TheStraightPipes]

That won't last haha

[@JakeDrives1]

someone sees your comment and hits dislike just because.. look there's five now.. do we blame the video or you? lmao.

[@tykszeto]

Seriously why would anyone dislike a video like this? Audi owners because of the shade Mercedes throws their way?

[@iDrive4fun93]

tykszeto VW owner here and I love the video... and I prefer Audi but this little A class is a gorgeous car.

[@deansmits006]

Thanks for reviewing all the stuff the average person looks for, and not focusing too much on the drive/engine.

[@scnext]

The AR is sexy afffff

[@DerpotronGames]

I never thought I would see Lidl appear in a straight pipes review, love it!

[@pezomarko]

Did you know you have followers in Croatia?

[@TheStraightPipes]

Do we? Croatia fans comment here

[@jakovbrli6]

Yes :)

From Serbia too :)

[@markovisnjic3452]

Dude, Croatian Straightpipers gang

[@simea.1419]

Of course you have followers in Croatia. That twisty road you are driving on, going uphill from Trogir to the highway, is great for some spirited driving. Hope you enjoyed driving the beautiful roads around my hometown of Split. Keep up with the great camera work and honest first-hand reviews.

[@IvanBosnjak89]

Oh oh! Home country!! I saw it from the first second. Great video guys.

[@MediocreTomSVD]

Jakub, you can also use USB-C with Apple products ! You can get USB-C to lightning pretty easily ! Great video as always guys !

[@sydjaguar]

Mercedes-Benz is nailing it nowadays. Looks and feels like a luxury car.

[@devindran2021]

This A-Class seems like beyond expectations. Hope MBUX doesn't start cursing after some time of using it.

[@luke_mann]

So epic you're in Croatia for this. I loveeeee Croatia. Split is crazy fun.

[@lancpudn]

Mercedes take my money, that car is soooooo cool. Great review guys.

[@paul7328]

Mercedes are making mind-blowing cars. S-class steering wheel and infotainment on the entry class and model just can't be beat.

[@scottmurphy4946]

This comes with G Spot Monitoring

[@iDrive4fun93]

Scott Murphy 😂😂😂

[@nowthatsurban]

Hahaha Jakub looked so sad when the visor didn't budge!

[@bartek8964]

Petition to bring the hatch to the United States

[@DimitriTechOfficial]

Bartek R YES PLEASE!! I'm in the car market right now and this is literally the only car I want. Sucks that I can't get it as far as I know now though :/

[@bartek8964]

DimitriTech IKR I'm hoping it's not too expensive and maybe we can import them from Canada, hatchbacks have been sorta rolling out in the US recently so let's hope it pushes Mercedes to give us the Hatch

[@AightBro123]

If not just get a cla amg or regular cla

[@DimitriTechOfficial]

We want the hatchback specifically though. The sedans just look like every other mercedes that old people drive. I dont want that, i want a hatch. The hatch just has more storage and is just overall THICC.

[@DimitriTechOfficial]

I hope so dude! I'd import this! And yeah, people say hatches arent hot in the US, but thats only because people say that. I see tons of hatches daily, the older american car buffs are just biased and in denile.

[@MouadJmari]

You guys are becoming my best car reviewers! Keep up the good work!

[@susnjarante1]

Croatia = nice! New Mercedes A class = nice! Straight pipes review = very nice!

[@Petrolcarter]

I loved seeing this car in Europe so happy it's coming to Canada! Can't wait until the AMG comes definetely a buy

[@shayorrahman8733]

we appreciate you asking for satellite radio rewind for every car Yuri!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Who’s we! Are you an Sirius employee :-) ?

[@shayorrahman8733]

no sir haha i just love to listen to satellite radio

[@TheStraightPipes]

Let me know your favourite stations. Which car do you have, does it rewind.

[@shayorrahman8733]

I really like bpm, electronic arena, and hip hop nation, but tbh, my last subscription is expired. I currently use a base 2012 hyundai sonata and it does not rewind. I'm currently researching for a new car and sort of eyeballing the 2018 civic touring or the 2018 mazda 3 grand touring. Do you guys have any thoughts on those, or what time of the year is best to catch a deal on a 2018 model year car? Trying to be patient but the sonata is having quite a lot of issues

[@criznitty]

Digging the shirts! One for business and one for leisure!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Always leisure ;-)

[@shahulhusman]

I use some of your videos to show my staff (mb dealer) features on the cars.. Keep it up!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Send commission cheques

[@shahulhusman]

TheStraightPipes riggght... let me work out the dollar to Canadian conversion.. ;) but they all watch it, so you get something!

[@kickingkenno]

The straight pipes, Matt Wilson and Doug are the top three car reviewers keep up the good work!

[@Xavier1...]

Canada gang gang🔴🔴

[@TheStraightPipes]

🍁🍁🍁

[@ssbeckman]

This is what I wanted Vehicle Virgins to be. Great job guys, subscribed!

[@TheStraightPipes]

But he’s lucky. He has lambo

[@medi0creatb3st]

Ok..the tail lights are very similar to the forte,or is it just me?

[@CornellHarris]

Moving to Canada. You guys get all the fun cars! Awesome video!

[@edgarsonromeus3333]

The car look is stunning !! I feel that car will sell hot cake in spite of the car sales vs SUV sales. I heard that car will be cheaper than the CLA, but as any germain car, you can reach the price of a upper mercedes model with options. I guess it sell well like they have done when they launch the new C class few year ago with the new design. Also, you can have all wheel drive, that a big plus. BMW and Audi will import their hatch in Canada if the A-Class sell well . BTW shout out for the amazing editing again !!

[@leaveearly3751]

Edgarson Romeus especially when gas will hit $1.50 cad a litre (regular) this summer. Everyone will go wagon or hatch imo.

[@tigerbalm666]

Adult professionals WILL NOT buy this over a Audi, BMW SUV! A small hatch just doesn't scream "status" liek a SUV...this will be a tough sale for $60k!

[@mike.thomas]

Nice cut at 14:44. I wish the US would get the hatch.

[@harrismi7]

I like it, but too bad the US doesn't get the hatch or the cool options. The camera shots and views were amazing, did you have a drone following you down those curvy roads?

[@harrismi7]

It's funny to me that the screen words spell "How may I help you" but the car says "How can I help you".

[@TheStraightPipes]

That is funny, never even noticed that

[@NomNomCactus]

Went to bed thinking Straight Pipes A class review would be the dream... booooom you guys can be relied on

[@TheStraightPipes]

Always deliver

[@rainyp2003]

WTF..how do we not get the hatchback????

[@Arnold_X3]

Can you do a Behind-the-Scenes of your Camera Gear / Lenses / Stabilizers you used to film the Car shots?? They are incredible.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Sorry we can’t. It’s our secret that we worked SUPER HARD to figure out. Well also KZbin straight tech

[@ravingmad765]

When are you guys coming out with bobblehead dolls for the dash? I think of a bobblehead every video when Jacob is driving.

[@K4R007]

Thank you Mercedes for finally bringing this beauty to Canada.

[@mostafarashed9524]

Hahahaha Yuri actually bugged the infotainment engineers about rewinding satellite radio stations. Let that be a lesson to all of you, be the change you want to see in the world

[@TheStraightPipes]

I added him to Facebook. No reply yet

[@acchaladka]

TheStraightPipes 🤣😂😅🤣🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Classic stuff.

[@benwalters4142]

14:56 That seductive hand gesture really sold the vents for me

[@2gts]

Gorgeous car, best channel👌🏼👌🏼😂😂

[@WongFeiHung659]

I bought this car because of you. And i don't regret my choice.

[@brynnleahnayvieghlaykynnn6175]

1. Watched half of this 2. Threw up popcorn and blood 3. Watched the rest good video

[@mxschumacher]

I hope you are alright

[@brynnleahnayvieghlaykynnn6175]

Max Schumacher I am I just ate so much popcorn in a week my body had enough

[@bimalnair]

that was a really fun fun review Yuri & Jakub! Great job done guys...loved watching it! Thankyou so much for all that effort dudes!

[@TheSirUno]

Sometimes I really loathe the American car market - it's all going the way of chunky crossovers and such here...perfect for our chunky car buyers I suppose. It's a shame that we won't get cool little cars such as this - I doubt the sedan version will last very long here. That said, I've very intrigued by this car and I can't wait to see what tech will eventually find it's way here to this side of the pond/border.

[@JakeDrives1]

okay, you guys just made me interested in this car !! it debuted and I was so underwhelmed by the exterior look I didn't even dive into the tech and infotainment. i'm impressed and can't wait to check out the new UX in person. Thank you for the hard work you guys put in on this euro review !!

[@thesilentman514]

oh man croatia looks incredible

[@gengwang5131]

just such an amazing channel. Keep it up guys!

[@VSS1]

BMW are gonna have a damn hard time coming back from this! Wish them the best of luck, the biggest winners with this competition is us the consumers. Bring it BMW & Audi, hope you guys do it.

[@stevenp7553]

You guys deserve more subs, like a lot more

[@TheStraightPipes]

Share the videos :)

[@TopSecretVid]

Voice says “How can I help you” the screen reads “ How MAY I help you”.... Hey Mercedes FIX THAT ISSUE.

[@pikkagtr1942]

you know what's even better as "understated" a cluster with real physical gauges and needles

[@AMacProOwner]

A voice assistant in a car? That actually works?? The future is now.

[@erickrivera819]

great videos! you and doug de muro are my distraction from work

[@projectill]

you pay extra for bigger toucscreens, then you pay extra for voice commands so you dont have to touch your touchscreens

[@KayneW24]

Was really looking forward to this guys and it didn't disappoint! Great video! Hope you guys make it to the UK some day!

[@hu5kyy280]

I’m so upset that we aren’t getting the hatch in the US. Maybe I can import one from Canada or Europe?

[@Jrv200008]

Hu5kyy You have 2 possibities. You can either have the car examined according to usa safety standards and then import it. (It could fail and its expensive). Or you become a diplomat and you can drive it on diplomatic plates.

[@LordKaolin]

Stay as 0 dislikes. This is awesome. We have an A250 2017 but this one is so different on the inside.

[@MG-yu6do]

FINALLY! I LOVE THIS CAR! GREAT REVIEW! I DONT KNOW WHY IM WRITING IN CAPS

Toni Martinovic thanks for the gorgeous country

[@panch01988]

WOW! what a nice car!!! great review guys!

[@laurensk6516]

But who needs voice controller about either useless stuff, or things you could adjust faster and maybe Better with buttons...

[@magicmike_]

Great review, very thorough. Especially like that this was done in Croatia. Hope you guys enjoyed Split! As a Croatian, I approve this review.

[@yousefdeeb01]

Is it the same one that matt watson drove?

[@silentrefusal9911]

"Aah man!" What do you want to do? "Pass the visor test" 😆😆😆

[@omarjimenez9027]

Damn it yuri that shirt is on point!!!! +1 Respect

[@YourLocalGuatemalan]

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks!

[@shahulhusman]

I'm bitter we don't get the hatchback in the US.. Want a35

[@shemmy7302]

All I can say about this Mercedes is WOW 🔥

[@carswithsonduren]

Got my popcorn ready and watching :)

[@frankdepasquale7500]

The easter eggs were the best! Great review as usual!

[@Noposwowskis]

why does the back look like a Kia Forte 5 SX?

[@Nitrium]

Haha you guys look so jet lagged. Great work by the way, great overview. Totally worth supporting you over at Patreon.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks! Super jet lagged.
