This is the most powerful 2 liter fourcylinder engine in the world right now, and these two clowns didn't even mention it. Sorry, but this is ridiculous! These two guys are totally ridiculous! They are trashtalkers and totally uneducated / uninformed! For 50% in this video they are constantly complaining about "Mercedes oh so overpriced buhuuuuu", but then they absolutely missed the fact, that this is a very special car with a handbuilt 2 liter engine Made in Affalterbach/Germany! This engine is special, the DCT is very special and amazing.... Of course this car isn't cheap. It's a Mercedes-AMG, you mo...ons! The very elegant and super stylish Mercedes four door coupe shape of this car, which this one guy also doesn't like, is also an important point. Greetings from Germany!

@rmr5184
@rmr5184 15 күн бұрын
@Doa744 interesting. I had so many issues from day 7 of owning the car that you wont even believe it: - Multibeam failure (literally 7 days after picking the car brand new from the dealer). I had to bring the car to the workshop 4 times until it was fixed as they started with software updates then replacing the multibeam ECU until finally replacing the light. - Left back shock absorber defect after a month. When I brought the car for the replacement of the multibeam I told them about a weird noise coming from the back and the car feeling strange on the back and they saw that it had a material defect. - Passenger airbag deactivated randomly and needed to be fixed. I don't remember what they did there though. - An incredible amount of cabin noises. They had to replace the door panel on the drivers side and two of the plastic clip bolts in the passenger side were broken and caused an annoying rattling. Generally the build quality of those A-series car's is terrible. - Gearbox failure. All of a sudden I wasn't able to put the car in reverse and a message popped up on the dash giving me a warning to not use the car as there was a critical gearbox issue. The car drove normally though so I brought it directly to the dealer and they fixed it with a software update. - Valve tightness issues. Appearently it's a common problem with the 35 and 45 models. The valves could not resist the pressure for which one day I was only able to drive up to 70km/h, again forcing me to bring it to the workshop. I found some infos in a forum but I've no idea if they changed something in the meantime. When the car arrived they seemed to know immediately what the issue was, so I suppose I wasn't the only one. - And now to the worst of all!!! The 4matic system stopped working during my winter vacation on the italian mountains while it was snowing! It only used the front wheeles and they couldn't fix it. They told me the car needed a complete new wiring harness. I waited for 4 months without receiving any update. They always told me it was due to the war in Ukraine that they where not getting the parts, so after 4 months I swapped to the M340i Touring which I now own since almost 3 years. I drove 79'000km with it and the car is just perfect and a 6 cylinder feels soooo much better than those 4 cylinders anyway.

@rmr5184 15 күн бұрын
@@Doa744 absolutely! I don't think that every Mercedes is that bad I propably just had bad luck. The only thing which I don't like nowadays is the build quality inside. I found BMW's and Audi's to be way better than Merc's. They simply use to much cheap plastic. Even though they give it an incredible look it's still cheap. Amen on the engine. The power delivery, sound and smoothness of a 6-cylinder is just on another level. That's why everybody misses the C43 AMG and why BMW still sells so many 3-series in both M340i and M3 versions. Let's hope they continue to make them:)

"OOOOWHAAA!" best launch reaction on KZbin, I then went to rewind it and it paused on your faces making that noise and I doubled over laughing. I have the 35 version of this car, and if you want to make this thing look much more expensive and get it to handle slightly better- lower it on H&R springs. It changes the whole look and, people actually treat you differently when you arrive at your destination. This is quietly Mercedes most underrated chassis, it's incredible. -oh yea, I hear Mercedes is only bringing 25 of these to North America, good luck buying one.

However, when all the whiz-bang gimcrackery of the Mercedes has aged out the Healey will still be going strong and still be more entertaining. The Healey has 250HP in a 2,200 pound package, the CLA weighs 4,000 pounds, has 9.5 pounds/HP, the Healey has 8.8 pounds/HP. Apples to oranges.

Seeing the interior of a CLA is so refreshing when you don't have a portrait-style 12-inch screen stuck on the center console and it looks different compared to most of the more expensive Mercedes Benz models. I say most because all of Merc's SUVs, aside from the GLC, have horizontal 12-inch screens and therefore look more pleasing to the eye in my opinion. The interior of the AMG GT63 on the other hand, doesn't feel as special as it could be because it pretty much shares the same general layout as a new C63 and most other AMG models.

I do think all new mercs (2020s & above) are just another mercs no matter what form or shape. They're just not as 'special' or as 'Mercedes' anymore. edit: the 'new' merc I forgot mentioning, GT63 4 door, is beautiful.

@@ApothecaryTerry I believe it on American cars, as I've always heard about Mustangs being incredibly expensive in the UK. That's a great point about LHD vs RHD, though - I guess the closest other country to share that with the UK is Japan, correct? Although, couldn't you purchase a LHD vehicle from the mainland and register in the UK anyway? Crazy about the Type R, but I have heard that about Japanese cars in general, and that being a big reason Lexus has never sold very well in the EU in comparison to the US. The GR Yaris is also very expensive, isn't it?

@@aprtur Mustangs aren't too bad, used at least - they're £55k new (also Cayman price) but depreciate to £30k within about a week 😄 35% of the world population (78 countries) drives on the left so that's not really a problem (numbers from a quick lazy Google search!). It's only really US cars we don't get anyway - I think we get a wider selection from everywhere else than the US does. Like for example French cars, you all miss out on the most fun hot hatches! LHD/RHD is why so many cars have big stupid screens in the middle instead of any useful ergonomics - much cheaper to manufacture both ways. Lexus don't sell well here because nothing without a German badge sells well here 🙄 The UK is a weird place for branding, it's something that's always bugged me. I'm considering buying my 4th Lexus though, so I'm an anomaly 😄 The GR Yaris was £30k originally here, super cheap really, but the new one is £45k. Cars in general cost about the same in £ as they do in $. E.g. a Hyundai Tucson is about 30k in £ or $, while a 911 is basically 120k in either currency. Of course, that's more money here since the currency is worth more, taxes are higher and we have lower average salaries.
