You can save some money servicing wise by just going to a specialist that deals with german cars. You get the same quality genuine parts and they are more likely to look the car over properly for any obvious faults. Most cases better aftercare as well. Some people me included would actually prefer to see a independant specialist stamp in the service book (as long as it's backed up with receipts). More likely the car has been looked after better.

This is true, although I went to 3 independent specialist 2 charged the same price and 1 was more expensive so just went MB. Thanks for watching

In comparison, I have a Mini Cooper S 2007, I drive 36 miles per day back and forth work, 4 days per week and that costs me £40 per week. So, your A45 is pretty decent.

In reality of owning a car like this: Service A may cost £1k at Mercedes, but you can go to a Mercedes Specialist and get the same service for £450 - £600. Service B at a specialist can be £225 - £350. Other service factors Spark Plugs - £150 (Every 4 years) and Axel Fluid - £240 (Every 4 years).

nice man, I been looking for one. I think the new version looks awesome. Considering this or just stay within an S3 range. BUT I love this car...the looks, sound, practicality is so worth the money. I have 1.6 golf and I drive quite a bit during the week for work but still cost me 40 quid so for a 2 L turbo that's not bad. I think I would be more vary of the parts and servicing I can do but MErc has their own way of doing things(all the electric etc ) I would be anxious if mess it up. Did you try to do the service your self?

Hi mate, its definitely a good car and if you can get one I would! Service wise I did consider doing it myself because of the difference in the cost but because mine had full mercedes history I wanted to keep it like that, so just decided to pay it in the end. Thanks for watching!

You cant complain about petrol on a 2 Litre. From my MK7 GTi I get 4.5L/100km because I drive normal, have had it for 5 years now and Im really over the whole speed and exhaust farts thing. If you drive spirited of course you going to consume 8l/100 upwards and you will certainly fill up alot.
