Been reading the manual but your video makes it so much easier to set up the car! Thank you.

The best in depth video on KZbin!

Great info

Good in depth video. I bought a brand new one in July and I’m still on the learning curve, especially with the steering wheel controls. I’ve been hitting certain buttons in error and wondering why the dashboard displays have changed. I now understand a little more why 👍 Love the right hand turn control to switch from C to S+ mode, use that regularly 😉 what fun!!

Looking at getting one of these and your review really went above and beyond any other ive seen. You weren't boring either so thank you for uploading this video, subscribed 👍

A few small inaccuracies, you said that it has a 2.0 litre twin turbo, it is only a single turbo. You also mentioned the different driving mode settings, Comfort, Sport etc, unlocks more power - I dont think this is true, the modes just change throttle responsiveness, speed and time of gear shifts, and suspension. The power is always the same, just how it is delivered. But otherwise a good and deep video into the infotainment stuff! I'd be interested to know if you used Android Auto and how you found it on the screens? The pre-facelift version restricted AA to a letterboxed view and did not fill up the whole centre screen, but the facelift fixes that and should be a lot more usable. Personally i would still use AA over the built in Nav

Good points here, you are correct. Same with my previous RSQ3 and RS5s from Audi, the drive modes don’t effect power, just responsiveness. I’d also like to know re AA as I don’t use any manufacturers Nav’s, I find Google maps way better. Hoping it’s full screen!

[@jamesscarcraze1285]

I shall edit the part about the twin turbos. I was told they do. And re drive modes. The slippery drive mode reduces power as well as reduced throttle response. Other modes are as you say in regards to how that power is delivered

[@jamesscarcraze1285]

I have a new Ford Focus ST on test soon so will do an AA full indepth tour. Google maps is a massive help on AA as lots of cars satnavs still work more via postcode rather than place names. I used to not like AA as until recently you could not play MP3 files from your phone when AA was active, only via paid streaming apps. Now there are apps compatible with AA which let's you play your device MP3's, even when Google maps is being used

Well done mate, nice detailed review! I’m looking to buy one currently so this was really helpful!

[@jamesscarcraze1285]

Your very welcome. I had so much fun with the car! The exhaust is amazing and just makes you feel so special. The model I had on test was the top of the A35 range AMG Premium Plus which has the Matrix LED Headlights and pan roof and all seat options. The Matrix lights are worth every penny if you do a fair bit of night driving. Just FYI if you get the pre face lift A35 then you won't get the little round screens on the steering wheel and those functions are controlled via the screen

@@jamesscarcraze1285 Thanks. I’ve done my research so appreciate the feedback as well. Just loved the detail you went into. I’m looking at a 73 reg currently, premium plus, wouldn’t bother with anything less. Just waiting for the right one now 👍

[@mutt40106]

I’m going for a test drive 😫on Thursday with a view to buying a brand new one, so very informative video. Looks to me like an awesome piece of kit. Thank you 👍

Looks like you've ragged the crap out of this A35 given the height of mud thats been taken into the grille and probably explains the moisture ingress into the headlamps and youve broken the seals. Never ever have i seen this happen on an A35.

[@daheiji]

In your digital cockpit, can you put a map in supersport and sport screen?

[@Anil-fr9xs]

Nice review but I can do more with gesture control on my A35 SEP 23 model

[@saigoneze4465]

the updated looks so bad the front bumper looks hideous. otherwise these a35 with a tune would def be the better option over the 45
