This dude Really loves this car or his job he keeps on Smiling sorta gives a happy vibe while watching this.

[@Nico-02]

Love the way your reactions are so genuine bro. Also love the way you reviewed this car, currently my favorite vehicle in the entire industry because of the price and what you get along with it! Great review brother

[@BenWayne85]

Nicholas Rubio thank you!

[@smabt]

Great video, you could feel your hapiness driving this car. 👌🏽Looking forward in seeing more of these great review video’s!!

[@BenWayne85]

Salahdin Mabtoul I definitely appreciate you taking the time to watch!!

[@trevorsutherland5263]

I'm 49 and this is the ONLY Benz I have ever really wanted. I've had Supra, NSX, E34 5, E36 3, Stingray, Jag XK, XJ, and latest a Giulia. The first AMG I ever was aware of was the 1986 "Hammer". Never wanted one until THIS one! The sound, the interior, the crazy engine at THIRTY PSI!! Its just so stupidly magnificent that I think I'll give the Giulia to my wife so I can get one! :-) Enjoy!

[@kartell6650]

Dream car, ima buy this off the lot one day🤟🏾💸

[@Elias_g1]

This car, this spec is what I would choose. It's amazing !

[@matthewowen5574]

Good video. I’m seeing more and more of these videos now that the car is becoming more available. I took delivery of mine last month and I love it. Got it fully loaded. Every package known to man. Drives like a dream. Love how firm and tight the suspension is and how it really hugs the road and the corners.

[@BenWayne85]

Matthew Owen it’s a nice ride for sure! I love how it handles!

[@GOTTAMAKEIT100]

How did you wait from order to delivery?

Good video Ben, had no idea a 2 liter 4 cylinder would make over 400 horsepower.

[@timc.911]

It doesn't for the American spec.

[@MrMustangrick]

@@timc.911 Yes, I think 382HP ?

[@kinggage]

Good review! Keep up the great work ✊🏽

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

In Europe it makes 421 Horsepower, making it the most powerful inline 4 Production engine in history.

[@nysoprano1]

Too me, one of the best looking AMG from exterior to interior

[@Johnny-lr5jt]

7:51 Classic!

[@johngartin3118]

I’m in the process of getting the 2023. The only thing that makes me nervous is how stressed this 4 banger can be pushing that many horses. The one I drove had 402 HP. It’s not an S version.

[@jeffersonjadon]

Just came across this channel, great review. Subbed 👌🏾

[@rqnhan5858]

[@kesodabul]

I might end up getting it.

[@afiq4944]

nice discussion

[@tgrkush]

Love the video. Very detailed. What do you think the price will be by May of next year? Assuming there is a price drop.

[@shaiheimmcrae192]

Love the channel already! Subbed!

[@loggy7888]

I wanna test drive one. It might be a perfect trade off from my Model 3 Performance, but it’ll be hard to get rid of the Model 3 as it’s such a great car. This facelift looks way better than the 19 and earlier.

[@nayanshankar755]

I watch a lot of car reviews and to be honest a lot of them are shit ! I end up knowing more about the cars than the host. You understand exactly what the content should be about. I am considering buying this car. Watching the video so far I will watch it till the end ! Keep up the good work Buddy!

[@BenWayne85]

Nayan Shankar thank you so much!!

[@RotaryLover]

If I was rich, I'd nag Mercedes USA/Canada to import an Shooting Brake model and I wouldn't care how much I'd have to pay. I seriously love this car's look.

[@gretcsh9333]

Why in USA always the cars have less power than in EU? In EU the 45s has 421hp not 416 hp

[@BenWayne85]

Marcin Bystrzycki it’s the same hp, EU uses the metric standard so it’s rated at 421 metric hp over there, which is equivalent to 416 hp over here.

Great insightful review Ben and Merc Rep? Lol sorry new to channel.. Look forward to the next review :)

purple rain Ayesha lol. Thanks for watching!

[@JureOdv]

Good job on the review but this is actually not the entry level AMG, the A35 and CLA35 get that title.

[@BenWayne85]

That is true. However, I do have a few issues with the 35 line up and have personally discounted it lol

[@MR_SPICY]

JureOdv Plz. 35 and 43s are not real “AMG”. Which are not “ONE MAN ONE ENGINE”

[@BenWayne85]

Ken J the 45 engine is hand built with the one man one engine concept

[@InspireMe819]

i want the night package along with the aero dynamics package

[@ronniematrix89]

Great upgrade by Mercedes Benz, the newer model looks aggressive and sharp.

[@BenWayne85]

We agree!

[@fashionablylate888]

I wish it was the same length as the A35 sedan. I prefer these seats tho.

[@ronbelisle8943]

Hi Ben great review!! Are you 100% sure the “S “ model with 416HP is coming to the USA??

[@BenWayne85]

Ron Belisle gotta make the review open for ppl watching outside the US. No S model if you’re in the states....at least for now.

[@2MANYCARS]

That's a nice blue color. :)

Loved the expression on both your faces. I take it you liked this car? 🤣

You didnt try the vocie command/MBUX. Its the best feature, I use it all the time for almost everything.

Hi Ben. I am 6.2 tall and I think how much distance there is to sunroof. ? Thanks for a great video.

[@Robgti180]

This car cost €88,575 without options here in Ireland. You won't see many of these on the roads here i am afraid.

[@Elias_g1]

I think it starts at around 70k here in Greece too. It's very expensive !

[@einsteinalbert6236]

Bro wtff it cost 65000€ in deutshland

[@Elias_g1]

@@einsteinalbert6236 Tooooo damn expensive anyway ! Who would pay that much for a 2 pot hatchback...

[@einsteinalbert6236]

Ilias G1 i agree with you buddy the bad thing about this car m talking about the s model is just the price but look at the bright side you drive the world powerful 4 cylinder car and it’s 421 hp with a drift mode and smart safe mode also you got 4 years Garantie and it’s a luxury sport car in the same time here in Germany it cost 63000€ and everyone here drive it which means it’s not that expensive lol they call it the baby amg GT63s

[@Robgti180]

@@einsteinalbert6236 I am afraid we have an extra car tax called the VRT (Vehicle Retention Tax) which basically is a tax that protects Ireland's car dealerships. This on top of VAT tax. Just say I bought this car in Germany for €65,000 and I will personally import it to Ireland. That would be a great saving for me if I were to buy it in Ireland. A lot of people saw this saving and started to do this but the Irish car dealerships were losing alot of sales. So the Irish government decided to slap the new VRT tax to stop individuals buying new cars in Europe where car prices and specs are much better. They even add VRT if you have optional extras added to your car. Hence that's why it cost so much in Ireland.

[@Tomatohater64]

How much was that car exactly as it was spec'd for your review?

[@BenWayne85]

73k USD

The 35 is better for the money, this one costs way too much

[@roarbahamut9866]

Wait till the second generation of the face lifted cla45 is out and then buy the first one (around 1yr old) for like 40-50k

[@fayahmad9063]

Zed Bot the next one will be out in 2 years time, this new generation has only just come out now. And doubt they will change anything other than the grille. But yeah will be cheaper but I’m in the market for a new car right now so gonna go with the cla 35.

[@ryanfinney2140]

I test drove one this morning. It got a big NO from me. Sure, it's moderately faster than a non AMG CLA. The problem is it doesn't feel like a real AMG, no crazy power. And the ride was really stiff for no reason.

[@roarbahamut9866]

The ride was stiff since its an A-class with a sport suspension and not a smooth s-class. I also dont get the "it's moderately faster than a non AMG CLA" since the CLA-45s has about twice the hp compared to the highest non amg cla and the same 0-100 as the C63 (ofc when you go faster the C63 will pull away). Dunno what you expected but keep in mind, at the end of the day its an A-class.

[@ryanfinney2140]

@@roarbahamut9866 I don't know the real numbers but the website says it's a little over 1 second faster 0-60 going from CLA to AMG CLA and the amg upgrade is only about 80 more hp...I don't know what year you're comparing C63 but a 2020 is way faster in every aspect. What I had in mind, when something has an AMG badge, is crazy horsepower and speed. Without those you don't have AMG. Those who know, know.
