Honestly as soon as i saw it in person it put all the criticism out the window, it looks aggressive and fun to drive. My m235i arrives September 🙂. Great review

[@CarSauce]

Thank you and congratulations! What colour did you get?!

[@T-E-G]

@@CarSauce i have gone for the snappers rock blue and also the black grills 😁

[@CarSauce]

Oh mad, that will look insane! I'm jealous haha

[@estebanrestrepoamariles7664]

I just bought it and I have to say that it looks so much better in person. I had my doubts before the purchase but now that I got it, I do not regret my decision. I really liked and enjoyed the review. Regards from Colombia.

[@CarSauce]

Congratulations! What model and colour did you get 😀

[@estebanrestrepoamariles7664]

MattBrandCars Thanks! It’s the M235i and I got it on white.

[@CarSauce]

@@estebanrestrepoamariles7664 that's awesome, I'm jealous! I hope to see some KZbin content of your own launching it 😉

[@D1-DNS]

What is the fuel economy like, what do you get?

[@CarSauce]

@@D1-DNS fuel economy is great. I was getting around 10L/100km, but that was with a lot of flooring. More balanced driving you should be able to get 8L at minimum

[@InIn456]

I think it's unique, I actually love it

[@RBGoodfat]

Love this car. Got the Misano Blue with the extended Shadow Trim. 👌 perfect for what I wanted and less than an 340i.

[@mingmingming2468]

Great job, looking forward to your review on cla35. Struggling to choose amongst these two.

[@CarSauce]

Thank you! Make sure to subscribe to see that review 😉. Though I can tell you, if you are on a budget, get the M235i, if you are wanting the best performance and money is not an issue, get the CLA35 😊

[@leonted4290]

Awesome review man 👍

[@CarSauce]

Thanks mate, really appreciate it 😊

[@adnanal-khameri1842]

Honestly hated it at first look, but it grew on me slowly n I genuinely think it’s one of the best looking right now. Especially with how the 1 series look right now

[@MrDsapian]

Completely and absolutely agree with you!

[@giofyocars8581]

If you're gonna have the raised ride height, you need a similar look. So I think it works.

[@AwAiS786M]

I agree with this. I managed to buy the m235i on a much cheaper price than I was to get for the cla 35. I’m happy with the purchase regardless of how much hate people give it to be honest. In all honesty I drove them all and I enjoyed the m235i enough to buy it. To begin with the looks didn’t do it for me but it definitely grew on me enough to buy it.

[@CarSauce]

Congrats! How did you find it drives in comparison?

[@AwAiS786M]

MattBrandCars our spec in the uk has the bmw with 306bhp and 450nm of torque. with the cla and s3 roughly the same with bhp and 400nm of torque instead. The S3 saloon had under steering too much but felt lovely to sit in. The dashboard was lovely but the infotainment screen is feeling dated compared to merc and bmw. The cla was a good drive but it felt to lose its oomph as you rev it. To be honest the interior is very flashy in the cla. My only complaint with the interior is the screens are too vertical and the way the car displays the Revs going up is off center and plays with the ocd within me haha.

[@D1-DNS]

@ahhhwes What is the fuel economy like, what do you get?

[@AwAiS786M]

D on the motorway I get around 46mpg and on the streets it’s around 24-33 mpg

[@richardgosling2427]

I really didn't like the Grand Coupe style , then saw the 235 I bought one!

[@holeephuc007]

Tried them all. Bought the 235i

[@Ragnar0321]

is the heads up display included or an extra cost? am thinking of getting the M235i gran coupe WHITE exterior and red interior same as the one you have. i really hope the HUD is built in hopefully i get the car tuesday.

[@colinwatson5685]

The heads up is £750 ..... I went for the 19s instead

[@colinwatson5685]

Not them wheels the 552 are way better

[@paullavig8167]

What about in black ?

[@yorkshirejags7410]

I have the 235i coming in a few months been delayed now for 4 months. Wish the CLA35 was just a touch cheaper with similar options.

[@CarSauce]

Yeah $15,000 AUD between the base models is way too much, would rather have the M235i! Congrats as well! What colour did you buy?

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

We don't get those one piece racing style seats in America on the m235i Gran coupe

[@NeilDuly]

Dig the looks of the car aside for the back...and the side is okay....okay, I like the front. Don't think the red/orange looks too bad at all. BUT I would say the 1 series was more controversial. Folks only compare the 135 to the 140 as if they're the same car....they hate the front...etc.

[@CarSauce]

I don't mind the front at all, it's the rest that's... A lot! But as I said in the video, I like weird cars! The interior is definitely on the ostentatious side though 😉

[@irekfilms]

In the Uk the car has 306 HP

[@colinwatson5685]

I was wondering why it said 295

[@ClaudiuHEG]

I really like this car... Rear end its "different" not to say ugly, but its an allright car

[@CarSauce]

I like it too! Rear end is different to say the least, but it grows on you 😊

[@lukelawrence6007]

I like the m135i better 😂

[@CarSauce]

I think I do too :P

[@fayahmad9063]

Should’ve got a cla 35 instead

[@CarSauce]

I'm excited to review one soon! 😉

[@KareemKayy]

pretty sure this car is 306 hp 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@Camplou2]

301 here in the US, but 330 lb.ft of torque. I have had mine fir two months, it’s a complete blast to drive. All of these reviewers get the car for long enough to make a video and just complain about things that have nothing to do with how it drives. It’s the perfect size, looks great in my opinion and also gets almost 36 MPG average. Close to 40 on the highway.

[@KareemKayy]

@@Camplou2 ya i think so too, idk so many websites say diff things lol

[@KareemKayy]

@@Camplou2 yes it is def a great car, issue is so many people want to compare to other cars rather than rate it for what it is, acting like it's equivalent to a kia forte, when in reality it has double the horsepower, awd, better handling, and sounds significantly better, plus those quick shifts, omg it's def a thrill and unexpected!

[@Camplou2]

@@KareemKayy I think in the US we lose that 5 HP due to emission regulations. In any case it is quite fast.
