A45S AMG vs A35 AMG: What's The Difference?

[@DanielBurrowsYT]

I was set on buying an S5 B9 as my next car but having recently driven a 23 plate A class rental I’m now seriously considering an A35 premium plus. This video just makes me want one even more! What a car for the money!

[@andrewbarnard6935]

Bonnet are different too. A45 gets power domed bonnet (bonnet bulges)

[@rhaegal5650]

Not since the 2023 facelift, both have them now

[@yerda1926]

A35 If you need daily driver mixed with performance and economy. Or just pure performance get the a45s. But then again most a45s I’ve seen will never see a track just back streets

[@nickyangelo]

Will never see a track whys that mate?

[@yerda1926]

@@nickyangelo where I live people with high end hot hatches would rather rip the car through residential areas than be a normal human and take it to a track

[@WHYTEPC]

would love to film a M140 vs M135 version of this with you, can tell it will be a good series, like Golf R vs GTI too, can go on forever

[@markrhoden68]

I think the f40 car is a more relevant up to date test Ti vs m135i as many think the Ti is superior car at least pre 2022 build m135i

[@rjavd]

I have a 2022 a35 and my steering wheel is exactly the same as the a45s with the toggles. Only difference is that it doesnt have race mode and the exhaust mode.

[@user-fn2zq6yd4t]

Lol and it’s slower

[@rjavd]

@@user-fn2zq6yd4t No shit sherlock

[@mrh107]

@@user-fn2zq6yd4t The steering wheel is slower?

[@shaikhysher1]

Are you going to make a video of how much it costs to run the A45 like you did with your M140i and Mk7.5 Golf R?

[@ansaru5081]

the deffrnt only grill is that?

[@ulysees321]

A35 exhaust valve problem, cylinder head swap out, at least on 19/20 plate cars

[@kostkane5045]

u forgot to mention the 35 has a flat bonnet, while the 45 is arched

[@adamknight1001]

The cars without the aero pack also get those rear bumper vent things!

[@markrhoden68]

I've heard although the interior look the part build isn't what is shoukd be in places

[@yan4524]

I know someone who had one. He said in the showroom it looked great, but once he'd had it a while it just looked like someone had gone mad with a chrome rattle can.

[@Account1746]

Shambolic cheap plastic interior

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

245s are small for a 421PS hot hatch. My Golf which has 150PS has 225s. So naturally, the A45S is going to inevitably understeer given the car has the same tire wheels front and rear.

[@AdamHormaKhrabcha]

a45 2022 and a35 2019 yo cant difference

[@goughys.i30n]

Would be happy to do a i30N facelift DCT compared to PFL with ya?! This is an excellent video, good details I think most people would miss. That's funny about the boot space.

[@samcharles]

Yes worth the extra all day

[@hazzes2536]

Hello mate, I was wondering how you managed to get the shortened plate on the front? I have an a35 amg and want to put my short hex plates on it but not sure the best way to do it

[@JRH224]

got the same problem, please help

[@JamesLehmann-vb1bh]

I have an A35. Ended up removing the plate holder and drilling two small holes and screwing the plate. Worth noting the bumpers are slightly curved so it will bend the plate slightly

[@vollcare4076]

Turbos are the same, A35 and A45S ? Don’t think so Also just cause an engine is Hand-made and not fully automatic assembled doesn’t change anything in the performance of the engine at all 3:10

[@doomldn718]

Was hoping you'd do a driving comparison? maybe for part 2 - great video, very in depth

[@bouncyteddyse7357]

He cant because his car is tuned

Hello, I would very much like to have a golf 7 but I can’t afford it due to lack of funds

[@benwilliams2243]

Isn’t this just irrelevant with the facelift coming out, pretty sure the a35 design is getting updated to the current a45s, the new a35 engine is I’ve heard is going to be hand made also :)

[@Pommily87]

Not irrelevant, just based on older models now. People still do comparisons on 40 yesr old cars...

[@SeanyMacks]

A35 engine is NOT hand made and isn't in the face-lift either.

[@jasonboyle7203]

Much rather have the A45s even tho price difference. The cars coming on well fella 👌

[@willfal6527]

Bonnet is different between models. 45 gets power bulges, 35 doesn't have that

[@F80.M3]

Power bulges

[@Antony_AMGenthusiast]

Arhh beat me to it

[@anthonylove6639]

I don’t know but they’re both a bit slow and heavy

[@Alfie.Goalkeeping]

The New A35 AMG facelift is literally just about identical, even same grill, bonnet

[@SeanyMacks]

Similar look but the A35 Grille is smaller.

[@F80.M3]

Rs3 owns these

[@SeanyMacks]

Naw... these are way more exciting to drive than the RS3.

[@suhail1200]

Stock wise they both same. If u talking tuning then yes m140i/m2 and rs3 are more tunable.

[@kenrossaukrsa]

You should of done a A45S vs an A160 , what is the difference lol

[@edgarcorrado]

A45s AMG all the way for me,I wish the bring it to the states

[@ZeAmine]

Even the A35 Hatchback has been discontinued from North American markets. Can't get the new 23-24 facelift

[@mwk1939]

A35 Renault engine 😢

[@dconcars]

A35 wouldn't pull your granny's knickers off

[@Antony_AMGenthusiast]

Forgot to mention the A45S has bonet bulges

Let’s be honest, it’s not as aggressive as BMW and handle wise. Can’t really do much with Mercedes’ as BMW your opened to more customisations.

[@WHYTEPC]

[@Addselwyn]

Still can’t beat the m140i with the b58 monster inside 💪

The 140i are rubbish! Beat one in my A35! They don't get the power down!
