How is he your 'friend' when you start the video with hi nice to meet you?

[@NuttiGoat]

His 'friend' who is also from, and lives in, the West Midlands. Accent is a giveaway 😂

[@pl2514]

Love the GLA 45, great to drive. Personally I prefer them without the aero kit, more of a sleeper. Did sit in an A45 but its smaller inside.

[@iainguss8222]

Mine is quite the sleeper. Designo some black color with normal AMG rims. Still got the renntech tune!

[@jamesyoung8598]

Your camera work seems to be getting better! Good job mate

[@hampshirephoto]

Thank you!! 😄🤘🏻

[@jamesyoung8598]

hampshirephoto shame about your haircut tho 😅

[@Smithy1789]

Love it, sounds like a WRC car from the outside when you launch it. 😍👌🏻

Just saw one of these in the road the other day and I have to say that rear spoiler is pretty wild looking for a factory piece. Unlike the R, it’s not trying to fool or hide from anyone.

[@MrPballers]

They are very rare i have a 2018 in desgno mountain grey with a rentech tune 505hp 567fpt not quite sure on torque i have never seen one on road my friend is service manager at largest mb dealer in mn and mine is only one they service spent 3mo in LA not 1 to be seen every other luxury super car on planet i saw favorite thing is to pulling away from a Corvette and waving goodbye most are so embarrassed they turn off or slow wayyyyy down and best part it is so unassuming its invisible to cops ive driven by at 100mph and i dont get a second look i bought it in NYC and drove 1300 miles home 1st day about 850 miles avg 84.5mph and got 29.5mpg I've owned lots of cars 6 figure ones 1000hp Corvette and gt500 super snake nothing is as complete of a pkg as this car power handling a race car in a box

[@Leo.SKDXL05]

I'm in the market for an audi s3 since mine got rearended a couple of weeks ago...what year gla 45 amg do you recommend, the 2015 are more affordable but 2018 have been refined a bit? I do plan to tune it and working the exhaust.

[@ChrisBrown-dy8ts]

I quite like this car and that colour is great, I would just take the white graphics out the rear windows IMO.

[@cdon2day]

I got the aluminum dash as well and it is so much nicer than that strange looking carbon fibre dash they offer. I am thinking of doing upgrades on mine. It has the wing and 20 inch wheels. Very low mileage so far and it is a 2016. Just around 13k kms. Great car to drive. Flew through the Rockies to Calgary and back. Longest trip so far. It's a lot of fun on the twisty roads. Out to Tofino - Vancouver Island, a real workout for it. It has been on the track near Duncan twice. Did well but definitely got out powered by the larger displacement AMG's. A fairly rare model. The A45 is not in Canada.

[@AIMANHAZEEM]

Hello im from Malaysia 🇲🇾 i own a 2015 GLA 45 tune 420hp I love this video ❤️🏆

[@Smartsparky]

This car ain’t my cup of tea. But each the there own! Looks are subjective. Great adventure Luke.

[@sirchickenfood8561]

Ah first...finally. love the specs and car, also love the noble chairs man!.

[@hampshirephoto]

sirchicken food thanks for the support!!

[@azstmpr]

Don’t think that blue was offered in America. Looks awesome.

[@iainguss8222]

What intake is that? And what exhaust?

[@matthewwakefield9058]

its the stock AMG performance exhaust, Remus downpipe

[@AIMANHAZEEM]

They prefer A45/Cla45 for racing . But Gla 45 is a legit racing AMG too🎉

[@band1t620]

I dont have merc one but i have one of the noble chair, absolutely amazing! I recommend it to anyone no matter if you're tall short, big small

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

alot of car for the money and looks meety to keep up the content luke cheers steve:-) 👍

[@peterbennpan7288]

Hopefully Merc will bring out a new GLA 35 AMG and then onto a 45s

[@oli_I_7_I]

Peter benn pan already doing it, check NetCarShow.com

[@relentlesspursuit6894]

These are rare, without the spoiler and debadged they are real sleepers, properly quick cars - not a huge fan of the 2l 4 pot. Similar to the Audi RSQ3, which for me is the better car, equally as rare though

[@hampshirephoto]

Relentless Pursuit they’re awesome!

[@RsDv5]

This stock would be more of a SQ3 competitor in my opinion

[@relentlesspursuit6894]

@@RsDv5 at 375bhp stock it's far above the SQ3, right in RSQ3 territory - although inferior IMO

[@henryhealy]

It’s not really a competitor to the Q3 though. It’s competing more with a Q2/X2.

[@matthewwakefield9058]

the RS3 is nice, but horrible understeer when you push it, but drag it and it's crazy

[@Wazowski730]

Love this car! The A45 is my dream car for the longest but since it’s not available in US the GLA45 AMG will do. It’s practically the same except the GLA is more roomier inside compared to the A45. And the GLA has those nasty looking black plastic bits around the wheels 🤮 but I’ll take what I can get. A GLA45 lowered with a proper tune and nice fitment/wheels is GREAT!! I’d prob get mine all black though to camouflage the nasty black plastic around the wheel wells. Great video though! 👍👍

[@Sywhy187]

I just bought a Gla45 and have 5k yo spend on it any tips

[@ThachosenJuan21]

Modlist for this Gla 45 Amg ?

[@thechickenman2289]

Rare colour definitely, and the green ones

[@cfbm125]

Aren’t these 4Matic? Why all that wheel spin at launch???

[@colecole5314]

CarlosFandango rear drive only engages once it senses front is slipping

[@jordonmizon41]

Your friend? Why say nice to meet you

[@llmm3423]

I own a 2018 model, ur stock facts were kinda inaccurate, its 382 hp and does 0-60 in 4.4s. Great video tho !

[@streetdancer121]

2014-16 model runs around 355/60 stock mate

[@matthewwakefield9058]

using launch control, you can actually break 4 seconds with the 2016+ models

[@zaink7037]

My cousin has one of these. Kind of a bargain for what they are going for. I sadly did hear it got stolen. Thieves broke in his house just to get the car keys 😢

[@WeAre-ip5ud]

Your mates drive stuff like this, and none of mine drive at all 😂

[@kylewatkinson8013]

I had a MK7 R and I'm getting one of these

[@sweet1j]

It's like the took an estate an crushed it in a vice

[@gordonmccartney5648]

Horrific wheelspin for a 4 wheels drive. I do find my Michelin PS4s tyres are not as good in the wet as they are made out to be

[@scottp4547]

Just reminds me of your bmw Just not very sporty Think I’d look at this or the bmw when I like 40 odd years old

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Scott P: How I laughed! I think I could be his Grandad..... so yes I had to wait a few years past 40 before I got one!

[@gregcooke2363]

430bhp from stage 2? That’s a weak remap 😓

[@certidrivers9365]

And so is ur mum

[@fbf01]

Odd car, never been a fan of them. Like a bit of a dad mobile. A class is nicer if going down the performance route. Like a RSQ3 rival but that would blow this away

[@thechickenman2289]

Rsq3 must drink petrol because rs3's are thirsty, but that 2.5ltr 5 pot is a tuning laboratory

[@fbf01]

the chicken man I’ve the RS3 FL pre OPF and it averages around 25mpg long term (got from new and now 23k on the clock) but around town it’s like 17mpg. Worst I’ve seen no lie is 9 in the worst slow moving traffic and 34mpg on motorway driving at like 65mph.

[@MrPballers]

Actually the Rsq3 gets waxed by the GLA embarrassingly not even close most hp per ltr of any production car just beat Bugatti Veyron at 215hp per ltr in New 45s there is nothing in its class or adjacent that can touch if u get the opportunity to drive one you would not care if it was pink with purple polka-dots and a pair of testicles hanging off back it is an amazing pice of machinery especially for the $$ arace car in a box just add driver best yet u get 4 yrs 50k miles beating the life out of it and if it breaks mine has 20k miles my avg speed since purchased is over 60mph I've hit 180mph and test and 0-60 times & 1/4 mile times are very conservative i ran a 11.22 at 153mph howmany production cars under 60k base msrp do that and pull over a lateral G on a Solomon pad probably count with 1 hand May not be the best in works but very unassuming and flies under the radar it's a car that you don't look at tell it goes by and then you think to yourself what the heck was that

[@tracktimevideos5164]

Horrible looking car, very capable though. Like a fast grannywagon.

[@truross26]

Stfu

[@MrPballers]

And the Focus or festia in teal is somehow better looking hey coke wants their bottles back no more glasses

[@tracktimevideos5164]

@@MrPballers yes much better looking and it's called blue. I suppose you can't see very well which would explain your odd opinion.

With how many $10,000 in mods great stage 3 brings the GLA to mid 700's out of box evo would loose by several tractor trailer lengths thats like comparing Steve madden shoes to Bally shoes or a timex to a Blancpain Or Richard Mille hey whats the torque on your evo you can have 20000hp if u cant put it to ground what good is it thats why the torque on mb is higher by 20% than hp 1 man 1 engine not assembly line robot made tin can i can hear a mouse fast at 150mph bet u cant hear radio on high at that dont u have a bride to crawl under

Thats why they produce 1000 of vehicles in different styles i thought its a segment on performance and capabilities not miss universe contest i enjoy mb Suttle styling yes we affiliate mb with octogenarians but that is best part u fly under radar police don't notice u and if they do that is the last car in their experience that is known for roaring around Probably one of the least cited vehicles for speeding I used to get pulled over once a month in my flat black A8L I put 15000 miles on my car since January have not been pulled over once Not even followed once A8 or my M5
