Hurray, finally waited for AMG in your tests !! Definitely like, thanks !!

310kws in a four banger is astonishing

@@Kr0nicridah stick with your Corolla. Obviously you've never experienced the symphony of a Lotus 4-cylinder 😃

[@justinlangley9522]

Another thing I noticed ... in the real world this 310kw beast isn't much quicker to 100kph then a VF SS with "just 260kw.. 5.56 seconds is pretty slow and that's the times most people will get as they won't be at the traffic lights with their foot floored and the engine revving off its head ...

[@asum307]

I mean agreeable about the launch control thing, but in the old one I became very good at timing it, and this one is even easier and quicker to engage. Also, you'll notice cars kind of hit a peak kw to 0-100 ratio. Then you need a lot more kw to cut down even a quarter of a second. Also, the car weighs quite a bit lol Also the vf series 1 had 270kw, (for the manual, at least according to car sales) the series 2 had 304kw, and without launch control it was just as bad at being considerably off its claimed 0-100. I think the best ever recorded by those car magazines was about 4.9. and that was with launch. Even on this channel it was in the 5s. So not sure how close the 6.0 260/270kw one would be to this car. Pro tip - find a car you like that's quick and doesn't have launch control, much more likely to get the claimed time without brake boosting lol

[@Mrlimbus2060]

@@MrFister84 whats shit about this thing? The fact that its faster than your civic?

[@lkupidlk3473]

It's pretty slow off the line but the braking performance is impressive.

[@asum307]

The old one was the same, unless you were using launch control. I do appreciate that this one doesn't have the insane wheel slip from a launch though.

[@brandonczw]

@@asum307 Well it is AWD so traction is not really an issue

[@asum307]

@@brandonczw So is the old one. Yet everytime I launched it, all I got was wheel spin. It was a huge problem and one of the reasons I got rid of it. The internet is rife with people who had tonnes of problems with it. That and it's damned quality control issues.

[@asum307]

@@brandonczw I might mention that this one uses the same AWD system as the A45s, the 4matic plus. Which is far superior to the old GLA 45's system which used a very basic one that only engaged the rear axle after front wheel slip was detected. In "race" mode it was meant to automatically send power to the rear wheels from a launch, but it still only happened after the wheels slipped substantially! Then it would automatically disable the AWD system to stop it from overheating and wouldn't let you launch it again for a few minutes. Terrible system. I went from a mechanically controlled full-time AWD system in my Audi A6 Bi turbo, to that lackluster one, I regretted my decision. Now I have a RWD diesel BMW and like for like it's as quick as my AMG right up until 90k an hour. 😅

[@brandonczw]

@@asum307 ah I see. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing your experience. A little random fact to learn everyday

[@mvnorsel6354]

Can't get my head around the power output of this 2 litre engine. But will it last?

[@A.U.P.F]

Knowing Mercedes, probably not

[@DEVILTAZ35]

It's designed to fall apart at the same time the warranty expires like most new cars.

[@AhmadAlAjeel]

Do you know if the new 2023 models have the driftmode? Like the CLA or A45

[@vsboy2577]

Do not be fooled the engine will not last with such heat buildup.

[@ranimbill9331]

I can admit that I can never afford to buy this. And I'm happy about that!

[@cam181990]

The initial take off from stand still, was that lag or something else? Seem take a second or 2 before much actually happened

[@youi511]

Yeah turob lag, small 2 litre engine to spool a big turbo will take a bit, especially if its pumping out 30psi

[@lukecoppens2488]

I'd want more for $130k on road. Like a M340i or X3 M40i with the amazing B58 engine. Could save $50k and get X2 M35i.

[@KiriakosBlueLion]

It’s like 60k but ok

Dispense with hyperbole and please identify the mid-size suv's with similar weight and performance. There are none. At least not in US.

Wayyyy to much power for a 2 litre 4 cylinder . Reliability over time is probably going to be shit .. engine to High-strung A real beast nonetheless

It's a Mercedes, unreliable is a given no matter the engine.

About 100 KW too much for Australian roads. More pointless crap you can never use properly outside of an Autobahn

[@henryzhang2804]

Mazda = Headache Check the ACCC vs Mazda, you will get more real cases. The case is ongoing. The ACCC has instituted proceedings in the Federal Court against Mazda Australia Pty Ltd (Mazda) alleging that Mazda engaged in unconscionable conduct and made false or misleading representations in its dealings with consumers Mazda has bad engines!!! bad service!!! I got a brand new cx-9 5 months ago in Brisbane, it has been towed back to dealership twice due to engine issues. and mazda never told you any detail about your car's issue.
