Mercedes-AMG A35 1 Year Ownership Review

[@matt999M]

Fantastic video, great to see both of your enthusiasm for the car! Good audio as well.

[@SamAustin]

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the positive feedback👍

[@lenol0315]

I love the enthusiasm in the video I live in America and I’m looking to get an a 35 four-door soon

[@SamAustin]

Thank you! Ah I love the saloon! I have not tried one but I think it looks really nice particularly over the normal hatch version 👍

[@gecalujeff]

Great car, bought one recently same as this one, and lovee it. Good Vid.

[@jordank2883]

Check out the Hyundai i30 Fastback N. They sound much better out the box than most of the things you’re currently looking at. Also not a lot around that’s as fun to drive. Pre face lift are a steal price wise. Food for thought 👍🏼

[@SamAustin]

Yep worth a thought and I enjoyed my drive with them last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hau3kKCHfr-fars

[@SamAustin]

Thank you 😊

Was he joking when he said he’s turning 40???

[@Alfie.Goalkeeping]

Got one myself but notorious for cylinder head going, I've had mine replaced at 9,000 miles, but still love it, now I've had mine head replaced got milltek to go on and map transforms it, I have the same 19 inch turbine AMG wheels

[@merkerface]

I had same issue at about 18,000 miles, entire cylinder head replaced. Had many other things go wrong as well 😂 still love it though

[@adamhakimi6708]

Hye Sam! Real quick, in your opinion which is worth buying the a35 or the 2016 a45(previous gen facelift)?

[@SamAustin]

A35

[@RezzurectionMs]

Is this a noticable and good upgrade from a 330i ?

[@kevinclark1002]

Great review on your a35, we have an a250 which is no slouch either but my wife drives it a lot more than me. She normally drives in comfort and averages around 38-42 mpg, what's average consumption for the a35? Many thanks Kev

[@SamAustin]

Thanks and many congrats on your A250. In fairness I believe economy is actually quite similar. I have had experiences also in A45s and if you are just cruising they are quite economical. It will just depend on how you drive it....pushed hard and I can imagine the economy will drop a lot more than your A250 so that is the compromise as it has to use more fuel for the power 🚀

[@RoBRoB1231]

@@SamAustin I drive my A35 everyday and i average 30. I can get 34+ if driven sensibly, 38 on a motorway

[@alexmoofficial3767]

Great Car... Love the All Black and those Wheels...🙂

[@stevenbaeyens2652]

Looks great. Kinda sinister in black. Like it!

[@slen6293]

Heard these struggle with big reliability issues. Loads of owner reviews complain about this. Along with pretty shocking ride, interior quality being terrible. They don’t even look that nice. Prefer the other options in this class if I’m honest

[@B41LL13]

The spec is really good although just a heads up to the owner that it appears to not have the augmented reality navigation, heads up display or the driving assist pack (blind spot assist and adaptive cruise control to name a couple of things in that pack) so sadly isn’t fully specced. Nevertheless it is a great car

[@matt999M]

These options where removed from UK premium plus models since Covid, so his does have the max spec he could at the time. These features have returned on the 2023 facelift A class premium plus model

[@B41LL13]

@@matt999Mhow comes they removed them as options?

[@matt999M]

@@B41LL13 due to the chip shortage, they have all come back now on the 2023 facelift, as you say augmented reality/Heads up display etc. it's a shame as I have a premium plus 2022 model and it is missing all this plus electric seats, all due to them being removed in 2020-21 due to the chip shortage and Car supply issues

[@kazkhan3131]

Nice car 😍 however a a250 engine ? In a AMG car ?

[@fireblade6756]

nope prefer the new car inside and some more toys thanks.

[@jamieallen5970]

Definitely not identical lol
