Hey everyone this is Alex, hope everyone enjoyed watching the video and thank you everyone for the nice comments definitely given me the second thought of maybe doing my own channel, again thank you Ricky for having me on the channel!!!

[@scitec6166]

Was nice to watch definitely do your own thing if you got time for it👋🏾👍🏾

[@matthewhicks7399]

Subscribed my man... You're first subscriber (remember that). Alex, look at an RX8 - I feel you'd really enjoy the balance between handling, power, and outright passion. Mercedes won't give you that I'm afraid mate. On the plus side you'll get 10 MPG at best on 99 octane, feel like a worldstar, and given your passion for your current Merc, will invest in an RX8 that will pay dividends in the years to come

[@chickenchaser3213]

You got your 2nd subscriber here Alex, get those videos rolling now brother

Knowing the bhp of his car would be a good starting point.

[@nastyG184]

Yes except all A classes are transverse lmao

[@a.d0n]

@@Driver987 hi mate, the BHP is 415 on paper but every amg is built different if you read the graphs on my display mine actually hits 423-424 and other owners have seen similar, I’m not an expert I just have a good passion for AMGs and my knowledge tbh I feel could be better so thank you for everyone pointing out the little bits I did make mistakes on and I’ll be sure to correct it next time

What a nice guy should definately start his own youtube or something came across very well. Will be interesting to see this against the new RS3.

[@bonniedrasco8166]

Definitely, just like remove before race, even if you have to start out reviewing rentals eventually someone somewhere probably an independent dealership at first will offer you cars to help promote their business and trust me, all the big boys have people watching social media and if they see what they like and see you have an audience, they’ll be in touch! Keep plugging away, you’ll get there in the end

[@simodthebod4256]

[@TooSmarteh]

They say “don’t make your hobby a job” you’ll lose passion when you realise what working at a dealership is like

[@zaink7037]

I think like Ricky said is spot on. When he said it's the passion isn't enough but the qualifications. I think that's the flaw in society. Most or all places want someone with experience but how does someone new / have no experience in the industry get experience🤦. Sadly what I'm going through with the career I studied 4 years for plus little to non vacancies coming out for graduates which crush us.

[@Gentlemen_london_]

He's so impressed with his own car 😂 Take him In your GTR.... he'd drop dead of shock 😆👍

[@Enselladus]

15:57 "you're hitting F1 times". Behave, I get you're passionate mate but come on, you're just talking nonsense now. You could do every possible mod to that, strip it down to the shell, put slicks on it and you still wouldn't get anywhere near F1 times. And all that talk about it learning and adapting to the drivers style, pretty much every car does that and has been doing that for years, really isn't anything special. Awesome car though.

[@fireblade8905]

On ps5 yes

I legit thought he was a Merc salesman, absolute natural for a career in sales. Although he can't be doing too bad for himself driving round in a £60K motor!

60k for a fart sounding dyson that plays engine noise 🥲

[@bme9071]

It's shocking isn't it. The playing engine noise gets me the most. What happened to proper hot hatches hey. By proper I mean cars that don't play engine noise, need driver skill to go fast, not a poxy auto box and all the electronics on the world to keep you on the road.

[@maximumvelocitylondon6406]

One thing they did miss is the kick down brake boost that the a45 s has which is really cool feature. Rate the car but few things said don’t make sense I’m regards to the spec and the tech side of the car. One thing also with the a45 it’s the same engine as the 35/45 but they strapped a bigger turbo which has a bit of lag. Personally being an ex Merc tech I think the a45 s is a great car but an easy drive. If you want a real drivers experience bmw m cars are the way forward.

Never better than Rs3 considering it’s price, engine, tuning, character

[@freshjive818]

Drove one of these when they first arrived in the UK, beautiful interior was very fast and had a nice sound my only complaint driving was under heavy braking on twisty country roads you felt its weight which is massive for a hot hatch!! Main downside is that price though Mercedes wanted 65k for the one I tested 😱

Sorry, Racing lines in computer games are wrong. Noobs will always come out with the classic "I just use it for the brake zones" They always tell you to brake earlier than needed. All tracks have brake markers on the side of the track. To be fast on racing games, turn the racing line off, and LEARN the track. Gonna be safer IRL if you learn the track, and do NOT follow some daft line on your screen. Nice car though.
