The A45 AMG really is a beast, exceeded all my expectations. And yep it is the best hot hatch i've driven, no word of a lie!
Hope you enjoyed the video, let me know what you think of the A45 in the comments below!
Thanks

[@TRHamza]

The first AMG I've driven! Crazy car. I think I need to drive some of the other AMG's now! As always, if you'd like YOUR CAR on the channel, Email me at: [e-mail] 👍🏼 P.S. Yes it is the best hot hatch I've driven 😂

[@ABDULK312]

"we're not gonna look at the boot space, you can go to some other channel for that" hahahahah sick one

[@thehelperofthepeopledems2525]

When I watch your videos, you really do put your heart and soul out when filming. When I watch your videos, I look at your smiles and emotions because they're so evident that they're real and not like the fake ones you get nowadays when people just purposely smile and laugh. When you're driving, you can see that little boy in you and I love that! This is what cars should make us feel. And I appreciate what you look for in cars. Most car reviewers nowadays show pointless stuff in their videos like boot space and interior quality and all that other nonsence; but really and truly, when you buy cars like this, you never really intended to buy a practical car, and that's what most far reviewers forget and that's what they predominantly base their verdict on which ruins it for us as viewers as we don't really care about practicalliy bullshit! We care about how the car makes us feel and how it feels like to drive! Thank fully you know that, being a hot hatch owner yourself, you will know what your viewers want from cars bro very direct. Most youtubers, if their video are as long as yours, I'd skip it as it's just boring, but I watch every single second it's epic bro!! Knowing I will not be owning one of these cars anytime soon due to insurance reasons etc, it puts me in a good mood knowing individuals such as yourself share out there pushing these cars! Do a meet and greet bro.. I'd certainly come. It'll give us time for us car guys to connect and I could learn a thing or two off you. Take care bro and well done for this review! On to the next one..

[@TRHamza]

As always bro, love the support and the time you take out to write the kind words you do 👍🏼 Really appreciate it. And yes definitely, would be great to do a meet at some point and have a chat. Take care bro

The Amount of Rs3's I've seen in Bradford they're like a GTD there so if you know the right people getting your hands on one should be so easy.

[@TRHamza]

Yeah getting hold of them isn't a problem, got a few available, just gotta set a day to film. Should be very soon 👍🏼

[@fawzee_em]

The screen with those thick bezels and the system itself is the biggest let down in this car for me. Otherwise the car is just insane!

[@mikeprice8500]

have to thrash them to get the most out of them, took me two weeks to sell it and go back to a S3 8v

[@TRHamza]

Yeah it definitely needs to be worked, driving locally it felt a bit laggy and slower than my S3. Crazy when being thrashed though.

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

My ex owned one of these, we had a go vs my Falcon xr6 turbo, yeah its got a bit of work done to it but nothing near the new price of one of these, and it smashed it, just left it in the dust, shame you guys didn't get them, they were such a comfy car, reliable, cheap and always felt like it had more to give, never need to work it to keep it up there either.

[@kaikoo5917]

The extras that you can get on this vehicle do make a massive difference, for example race mode, adaptive suspension & electric seat adjustments do improve the car allot

[@TRHamza]

+Kai Koo Yeah I do wonder what the race mode would feel like if this was already crazy in sport plus

[@kaikoo5917]

Doesn't add any power just helps the gearbox really stay in the higher rpm constantly & with gearing down automatically stays in higher rpm & im not a hundred percent sure but I've been told you get a front locking diff to help with handling

[@WellKnownStryker]

Yo hamza a bit off topic here, but i noticed you always got a same colour top on, where can i buy this top?

[@fakkoo63]

Like the AMG but the ipad stuck on the dash looks a bit naff IMO. That said it covers ground soooo fast its very impressive although there are lots of stories of gearbox issues. Worth investigating before buying

[@alundor6960]

I will own this car one day! Once it's like 5000$ and 12 years old

HaHa, thanks Hamza for this!!! I commented on your last vid and you said you'd do it and you did, and you even said it yourself on the titile ... BEST HOT HATCH. Thanks mate, mines ordered and coming in november !

[@TRHamza]

Haha I always deliver whats asked (within reason of course 😂) And well done mate, good choice!

[@BoogieMan1599]

Great review. I'm considering one as a daily commuter. I got 16.6 avg mpg on my test drive. Did you notice what you got? I also noticed the seats were a bit on the stiff side.

[@DwayneSummers]

Great review brother, love the clear stable visuals, excellent sound (even with the noise from the wind) and great review. Just bought an B Class AMG and it's interesting to see what other upgrade options I can consider when I come to changing it. Really good video.

[@8drifit]

Ive just purchased a 2018 AMG 45 and here is the the thing .. Its all blacked out with the black Mercedes-Benz wheels too! Full Areo, performance exhaust with a stage 2! >Downpipe upgrade from turbo. With a intake and tune. 3.9 seconds to 60 😉 422HP 550Nm. Should do high 11's on the quater mile 🤫 mines got all balcked out badges though. ( and I LOVE THE CAR!!) ITS A WEAPON bud. Only had it for one day haha. I love the seats, very comfortable to me?

[@ChRoM3ClOnE2000]

Just picked up one of these badboys. Cosmos Black, Aero Pack, Perf Exhaust. 🔥

[@k7_800]

Hi I need your opinion should I go for an Audi S3 2017 fully loaded or the A45 2017 fully loaded .. please someone help me out

[@chiel-]

Would go for the s3. Quality ride in the s3 is better imo. Better cruiser too.

[@dec4k144]

my driving instructor has a MERCEDES-BENZ A180 AMG LINE D im very lucky to learn in it...

[@kabdul8050]

Respect to all your reviews bro. Good to see reviews on a level from an everyday driver like us 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 keep them coming bro.

I can't help feeling it would look so much more sporty as a 3 door.

Drive a 4x4 x5m Svr Range something other than hot hatch (i know u did estate recently) Still loving the vids tho

[@TRHamza]

Thanks bro, and yeah Im down for whatever, just about getting hold of the cars.

[@MegaDboy7]

What's the most affordable with the best interior quality (excluding the S3)?

[@puresounds7402]

MegaDboy7 golf R

[@khabib9926]

People saying check my car out i have bla bla BhP and torque have no idea what cars really are. It is about the aesthetics of the automobile. How the car reacts at certain speeds, certain bends on the road etc.By having 600bhp on small cars like people say mine is mapped to whatever does not necessarily make it a better vehicle to drive. Top review as usual Hamza! Keep this up man. Would love a review of a old school evo X as i looking to get one as a second car.

[@TRHamza]

Yeah I agree, so many get hung up on performance figures, but if its got like 600bhp and can't take a corner properly its pretty pointless lol. And thanks man! Unfortunately had the opportunity to drive an Evo X a month back but it got sold before I arranged filming day. Will see if I can get another.

[@jasonh289]

Its a shame the one you dorve didnt have Racemode, and only stopped at S+... its a different beast with racemode

[@braunygirl]

I want this car! Love the video 👍

[@williamshinn1319]

I would get an A45 AMG but they don't sell it in North America and I'm not gonna import it here because it's expensive to do that.😭😭😭😭

[@wheelsandwatches]

How do you find the interior compared to the Audi rs3 and how do you find comfort?

[@TRHamza]

I feel like the gti clubsport doesn't get enough attention, a review from you would be nice

[@TRHamza]

Yeah I agree, I want to film one too, but no one has one.

[@junaidzaman710]

Things a beast ! Best hot hatch out there i reckon. Personally would take the A45 over RS3 based on how it sounds and looks even though RS3 is a better HOT HATCH.

[@TRHamza]

Yeah they're both great in their own ways, this one just loves being driven on the edge, its crazy!

[@junaidzaman710]

TR Hamza would agree with you there just the way it pops and crackles ! Beast

[@UnkleCreepy75]

Hot hatches used to be about handling. Nowadays it seems to be about beep beep beep drag races where the rs3 shines. Pity its woefully bad in corners, nose heavy and just understeers.

[@Drwezloka]

Great review. Just bought one.

[@kamelchaib6938]

[@arnoldmoontanman8638]

[@jayz3d]

No lie Hamza, love the channel, the content, the variety of cars you review. Your personality and presentation style is really good, you will no doubt soon be at 100k subs and before we know it at a million

[@Azizur_93]

Videos are always on point bro

[@TRHamza]

Thank you bro

[@ASRmann]

At last ! Been looking forward to this review for a while man and it didn't disappoint, top marks Hamza and the A45 is an absolute beast of a car. However I couldn't justify one over my S3 given the (in my experience) relatively small difference in performance and at that price id be looking at the RS3, nonetheless, top car and top review bro keep it up !!!

[@kostap6555]

The main downside is the tech and interior is not updated, side mirrors are from the old c-class no touch screen infotainment, no virtual cockpit or hud. Otherwise exterior styling and performance very good, not to mention the exhaust sound

[@billya3303]

These videos that TR Hamza puts out are always on the dot the way you describe and detail the car is perfect. Fun and amazing videos to watch.

[@damienhowell3727]

Thoses lil amgs ain't no joke, as much fun as the larger ones

[@floriantasca6133]

stock exhaust or amg performance exhaust ? :)

[@Camilian66]

Drove one for 7 hours straight found the seats better than my old mk7 GTI for a long trip.

[@BournemouthPhil]

Had the pleasure of driving one from Dorset to Bradford, stunning car that nobody messes with on the motorway. Great video, subscribed.

[@TRHamza]

Yes RS3 has been arranged 👍🏼

[@aqabhussain7392]

TR Hamza Would like to see what you prefer. Either the RS3 or A45

[@dwight173]

If I could give this video more than one like I would really enjoy this review

[@JULIAN71102]

A very simple and direct reason to chose the RS3 over the A45: THE 5 CYLINDER ENGINE.

[@TRHamza]

Yeah I am a big fan of the 5 cylinder too, its the main reason you buy that car

[@CarsFilmingFriends]

i'm totally with you! the RS3 is better package to my opinion.

[@dchris91]

oh please, bullshit

[@dommelville8613]

Different cars focusing on different things RS3 is a great sounding vey fast In a sraightline car. The A45 is not as fast but way better in the bends and under brakes Turn in and steering feel is better too. That's why it posts faster laptimes all over the world. Had mine a year an no doubt the rs3 is easier to live with though. The A45's always on personality can be draining at times. Both very special cars in different ways.

[@alexferrara6600]

rs3 is a terrible track car the a45 is like 8 seconds faster on the nurburgring a45 is also faster in a straight line. If you want sound over speed and handling the rs3 is the car for you. Also the a45 is just so much more agressive looking (thats just my opinion).

[@danieltaylor4440]

Great review I just bought one with the aero pack which I feel is a must, it's been stage 2 remapped, great car always excited too get in it.

[@Drwezloka]

I think this is an optional extra??.....the seat. The stock seat is very comfy on the 45.......mayb better than my Golf R seat. Good review. This car needs the adjustable dampers option to be ticked to make it a decent daily hey.

[@BLRayBanUK]

Still need to bring out a 3 door version and make the sat nav look more integrated imv

[@bricebrice6496]

BLRayBanUK 3 door would look very weird but yes that satnav needs too be bigger and built in

[@andypandy1529]

love the vids man. sick review. a45 amg is pure fire 👍

[@TRHamza]

+Andy Pandy Thanks man 👊🏼 And yeah it's a weapon 🔥

[@Birmingham_racing]

The a45 never did it for me the styling looks too much like an after thought basically like it's not meant for the car originally

[@marveysingh8157]

Wish I had the time to bring my Mk7 GTI up to compare it to the R 😩 wicked reviews bro!

[@peterbennpan7288]

Sorry the USA gets the GLA A45 slightly bigger than the A45 same engine though a bit softer ride not quite so edgy, I love mine.

If you want something like this check out the golf r. The dsg version has 0-60 of 4.5 seconds, pretty nippy car.

[@RollingCinemar]

Nice video 5:00 my mate has the same amg but it’s a A45s Been in it and drove from Birmingham to London and it was the most uncomfortable car I have ever been in ..seating is diabolical more race focused than comfort... It’s like you said bro if it give you confidence to throw it around but yes finally the car is a real hot hatch 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Grimace_Integ420]

Why is it that the coolest of cars are the ones that you cannot get as easily in the U.S?!?!?!?! I love that car, everything about it, but as soon as you got in, I could tell it was from the UK or some part of Europe

[@LB83.]

Did you ever tryed a 45s like 2see what you think of it

[@michaelsingh925]

My brothers got an 15 plate rs3..i wil b interested to see how it compares. I just cant look past the build quality because its shocking on the new merks. The rs3 is a better car overall

[@TRHamza]

Yeah ill be doing the RS3 within the next couple weeks, its definitely a more all rounded package but Im interested to see if it can match the driving feel of this thing. I have driven the RS3 briefly a while back, from what I can remember it wasn't as alive as this. Nevertheless its been a while so I'll be interested to see for myself again.

[@coreyweir3316]

Love the vid mate! Keep the great content coming! Really considering this as my next car, either that or the RS3, very hard choice lol but who knows what 2 years will bring!

[@colintx800]

The only thing I don't like is the touch screen tablet they just stuck on, I know they can do much better than that.

[@Roger-zi3xq]

colintx800 thing is, it's not even a touchscreen. You control it over the plastic knob in the mid. Console. Like said, seems pretty cheap. Plus the mercedes infotainment doesn't feel intuitive to me.

[@NotTheMaestro]

I wanted the A45 but it's not as classy looking as the S3, it's borderline 'chav' car with the spoiler on the back. It would be great to see a review of the C43 or the new RS3. I'd like to chop my S3 in for the RS3 but I really fancy something different and I've never had a Merc before.

[@TRHamza]

You could always get it without aero pack. I can try get hold of a C43, its something Im curious about too
