Mercedes GLA 45 S Review: An A45 for ADULTS | 4K

[@AutoTraderTV]

A45 S or GLA45 S, which would you pick?

[@sabelongubo4571]

A45 S please

[@emmanuelmeysman820]

A45S.

[@juniorjimgaming9628]

A45s for sure..i dont want my kidsto ruin their chilhood in a boring car (No drift mode)😑

[@karabochamp8204]

I just got an a45s brilliant

[@Peynirboy]

gla 45s

[@ABDULaziz-zq3ch]

Give the man his drift mode back

[@wyekit8668]

Real men with real skills don’t need drift mode.

[@PK-xu7gu]

@@wyekit8668 Dude majority of the people on here under 30.

[@waleed172]

@@wyekit8668 But its really hard to drift when the front wheels force you to stay staight instead of going sideways. The frontwheels get more power I think

[@riptiide9285]

@@wyekit8668 drift mode isn't "drifting assist" like how ferrari does it. It's just rwd only with no traction control

[@waleed172]

@@riptiide9285 no thats wrong. Merc uses a different System. They let the outer wheels get more power so you are hold in to the drift

[@ATKProductions00]

Rory's frustration about the lack of drift mode got me laughing big time

[@matthewnooren7090]

Haha same, this was a great review

[@ukombozi124]

I love how he's genuinely upset that there's no more drift mode

[@PeterOla1122]

And delivered a great performance by that. Quite a great Actor if you ask me... Car Review Oscars.... Lol

[@2klzthings882]

Aah, Rory does love his drift mode

[@Pengecsoky]

A good drinking game: bottoms up, if Rory says "Drift mode"!

[@ezekielmcclure5673]

Ya tryna kill us?

[@ecr9745]

Hahaha nice

[@kallyomega8925]

Two days later I’m still hungover

[@scottyrob82]

When he hit the switch to open the trunk aka boot.... 😂😂😭😭

[@Kingabdvl]

Rory still can't forgive the No Drift Mode 🤦🏽. I can also relate😂🤣

[@LordHezion]

Rory is such a vibe 😂. Still mad

[@erickjuma7643]

"Let's stay professional, boot space...leg room head room... " Hhahhah

[@GodsloveMuzik]

“Not everyone wants to drops off their kids to school... Sideways” Subscribed after that comment

[@martinsinnombre]

And the disgust and lack of understanding for what he added next: "I supppose".

[@bosvigos9165]

Yes, me too! 😄

[@joseph_the_human]

speak for yourself

[@vaishakhg]

I can't recommend this... Hahaha, gold!

[@247cscont_nt]

Rory so mad about drift mode Mercedes Race mode: 😎 Rory: Okay this is Fast😂

[@jowamoto9368]

Haha

[@philamavikane9423]

Pedestrian: "Oh look! There goes that GLA45 S" Other pedestrian: Which one is that? Pedestrian: "That one without DRIFT MODE..." 😂😂 I'm done

[@autobahnpov9207]

Its a higher a class But what mercedes has got from a four-cylinder is insane..

[@orvvro]

Yeah crazy right, makes me think of the Koenigsegg TFG, a 3-cylinder that makes 600 hp

[@corny17]

I feel it used to be a higher/taller A class, but it's not anymore. The design has changed a fair bit. more of a small SUV now, instead of the crossover/tall hatchback kinda look it previously had. I know not everyone's a fan though.

[@herimohr3716]

CrazyCaptain the Koenigsegg is also crazy!! But it’s a 3 liter

[@kpcassell419]

@@corny17 totally agree. The old GLA was just ugly and never knew what it was. This looks soooo much better.

[@kpcassell419]

@@herimohr3716 Incorrect. It's a 2.0l 3 cylinder, not. 3.0l.

[@onkemabude4818]

Like how you make your video straight to the point. No unnecessary dragging and making it distastefully long. Great trait Rori.

[@TheHappyBug077]

I should say - the best car review ever :D was smiling all the video

[@_Rafiki.]

You didn't watch his McLaren one then. Definitely worth a watch ☺️

[@lehlohonololepheana9394]

you can literally see the joy disappear off his face every time he mentions the drift mode🤣

[@reginaldscurlock6537]

I love this guy’s reviews. Very informative and always fun and beautiful. His personality is the difference.

[@oscartejura4887]

I was just wondering if this one came with a drift mode? It’s a pretty killer feature and I don’t see why they would take it out right?

[@sherif.ghoneim]

3:25 Amazing point of view... But this is only correct if it was REAL noise amplified (as Porsche Taycan), not fake ones.... And all jokes aside, the lack of drift mode is due to higher center of gravity in this crossover...

[@karlellis7193]

Love this review Rory! I always thought they made a huge mistake when they shelved you from main Top Gear because you were always the better presenter and reviewer. But yeah, thanks Auto Trader for giving Rory this platform 👍🏽

[@ChrisKelhamROBLOX]

This is going to be known as the car without a drift mode

[@shabbabaptiste36]

The command of the English language is impeccable ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏼✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

[@AlvinWillistonDavis]

These reviews are amazing! And Rory gnishing over drift mode is my spirit animal!

[@jdniuz1224]

Awesome review !!! I am in a C300 now, and this one will be my next for sure, not too big and not too small, good combination of fun and functional. Well done Mercedes

[@callumfisher237]

Rory makes any video brilliant.

[@mrkatse]

He does!!

[@0richbike]

so a bit disappointing...if you get my drift.

[@cdnim2358]

"dropping the kids off at school sideways" Crosses legs! 😳

[@lehlogonolomaringa3213]

Wonderful review! Just got me to subscribe ✌🏾

[@scoobarumad]

Good review!! Subscribed👍👍

[@LoverOfTech]

Doing the work as always Bro.

[@shawnrossvidal]

CLA Shooting Brake for me, thanks. Great review Rory!

[@JohnnyStroud]

Lmao, at Drift Mode realization, lol

[@Sartheris]

"Confused man looks at car"

[@jak493]

Not sure I like the square wheel arches, to me would work better with round ones

[@1981zayn]

Great review again 👌 this and the A45s are the last of there type, with the drive towards electrification increasing

[@SpaghettiKillah]

Love this guy's way of reviewing ! Cheers from Italy mate 🍷

[@Dre88116]

Love the honesty!

[@gordonkellerjr1076]

Wonder if they were able to get rid of the front wheel skipping on full lock?

[@pardubolloju4831]

Superb reviews ... Execellent work... Hope to see more..

[@kwanelemoima1029]

Why is the vent on the right front side of the bumper closed?

[@DSM2009]

Great vid Rory 👍🏾

[@zenyu94]

what's up with all the premium makes (first the Audi A3 now Mercedes) with exposed door frames now? 2:17 look at the white part on the door.... for something this expensive I expect it to be covered!

[@Emjackson89]

Hahah.....great video mate. Had me in stitches lol

[@gregoryuk]

Would Rory have paid more attention to the boot and rear if this GLA had Drift Mode?

[@TheBoss-fl3fk]

“They got rid of the drift mode... I can’t recommend this” xD brilliant

[@jaketurt2709]

Does anybody know whether the GLA has drift mode or not?

[@warakanda7356]

Really really marvellous.. thanks bro🤓💪👍

[@aydel5636]

Nice video bro!

[@NobbyOnCars]

Love Rory's stuff so much - madness that he's not on TG - onwards!

[@MG-uu2lb]

Nice video again Rory!

[@jensfiehler4716]

Quick question: does it have a drift mode?

[@seunakin6961]

Loving Rory's reviews man

[@actuallypaulstanley]

Asking for a friend, does the gla45s have Drift Mode?

[@arunim2000]

So does it have a dedicated drift mode or not? 🤔

[@deepjohal]

Does the gla45s have emotion start?

[@Jake.brazier]

If I had a quid for every time Rory said drift mode in this video I’d be loaded

[@LaSombraa]

More like 1000p

[@vitorgrencho]

Again... best reviews ever... by far! 👌🏼

[@supersanex_x]

What a great video. Pls try to review the new BMW 5 series touring:)

[@bones435]

Has to be the best one so far Rory you said no drift mode 11 times 🤣🤣

[@mplakaintokyo]

Can anyone confirm if it has a drift mode?

[@andylau4079]

0:50 OH I love it !!!! Well done guys !!!!!!!!! Thank you very much !

[@alid.sarabi8504]

Same issue! getting in &out of rear doors is a struggle.

[@iJmoney210]

Great intro! And yes, without drift mode, it’s also dead to me!

[@shahulhusman]

We don't get the a45 in the US.. Gla or cla 45 only.. No "S" either... Does the gla45 have drift mode?

[@Rollaroundtap]

How’s the Tyre noise?

[@kingdarian9525]

The speaker exhaust system is fire lol

[@olivergriffiths4445]

Tbh I would rather having a car that is actually loud

[@robertl2856]

Has it got drift mode ?

[@shayan_p06]

There is a drift mode pull up on both shift paddles

[@framfull]

You can chose between two different seats. The sporty ones are nice, but after a long stretch not so great.

[@nirodha35]

Does it have drift mode🤔?

[@martinharper2215]

Just one quick question as I dont think it was mentioned. Does the gla have a drift mode? 🤣

[@emersonbusta]

but does it have drift mode?

[@SephCondor]

Drift mode?!! Rory had me creasing! 🤣😂🤣

[@waverleyjournalise5757]

Why... why is this channel so good? Rory Reid, that's why.

[@cadenguyen463]

no more dual clutch like the gen1 GLA 45 amg?

[@hakuchoi]

Hi all, may I know what is the car's color? Digital White or Iridium Silver?

[@rossgallie1]

I laughed so much on the reaction of the drift mode 😂😂😂

Well done..very funny!

[@rahmanadreline]

love ur review man..

[@davidebanks2248]

He's good. Lol @ drift mode rant 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Helpmegetsubswithoutvide-mr2pj]

OMG I love it! great video

Have you seen the ambient lighting of this cabin at night? It's stunning!

[@richard1441]

I love this guy fantastic video , no drift mode lol

[@wcalhoun10]

Does it have drift mode =D

[@johndrex5099]

Whats the name of the song 3:25 ?

[@krushgamerlife3191]

Loved the video.. Hilarious!

[@PaulHipToBeSquareAllen]

It’s not okay to play the noise through the speakers... I might record the the TVR W12 Engine Sound and play it through my Transit speakers.

[@darrenturner4352]

His smile after the launch ha ha

[@hankdu]

Loved this video. Subscribe to channel, finally

[@Dermiezz]

Been waiting for Mercedes to update this car for ages now can’t wait till it comes to the uk

[@TheRapidGamer]

Hope it has an Aero kit available because it looks pretty lame for a 45s as standard

[@Theresho.Komane]

Too lame and just plain. No "flavour" at all.

[@the-boring-car-guy]

Is it just me or as Rory slimmed down? Looking good my man!

[@fontie6]

Great review! But where’s that drift mood at? 😅😂

[@phumeleleshabalala333]

🤣🤣🤣😂 give this brother his drift mode Mercedes. I love this guy very funny

[@niphomathibela7332]

Uhm I think Sir Reid here makes some the best content yet. 🤝

[@smalfrys88]

really need these in the states

[@ruisaraiva551]

No drift mode hehehe. That´s the spirit Mr. Rory. Mercedes upgrade it to drift mode Rory Style. Cool man way cool.
