I owned a 2017 gla 45 (the old model ) absolute riot of a rally car but was let down by having a basic interior and without adaptive dampers was stiffer than a viagra overdose. This gen of A class is very very cool and modern. Ive driven a facelift A class when my E63s had a safety recall and i was inpressed at what the little baby standard A class is capable of. The 45s seems a proper hooligan

It's preference, RS3 more comfortable and more relaxed, good straight liner, and a much larger platform for tuning however the a45s is 1000% more engaging just feels more of a race car, 1000% more fun, drift mode, good short daily driver and has it's tuning potentials. Being in a hatchback with that high boost pressure in the a45s is really a feeling the bigger cars can't give like the rs6 or e63 due to weight etc...
@ShowMustG Жыл бұрын
I agree about the tuning, I'm looking at both and I'm leaning towards the Merc because I feel the RS3 is a bit more...how do I say this without upsetting people, targeted towards younger drivers, not that that's a bad thing, it's just a bit more Fast and Furious If you get what I'm saying, the amount of tuning videos online with people upgrading to nutter BHP, It's just not for me, but I am on the wrong side of 40.

@@ShowMustGI’ve owned the new rs3. Also driven the new a45s. The A45s is actually more nuts, if you compare both as stock. The RS is a better everyday car but overall the A45s is more fun and engaging. Pick the Merc. It’s better.
@memomoto9907 ай бұрын
Plus Rs3 has the same look and interior of an A3 which is a shame. This AMG beats RS3 at the looks department and also at interior. Perfect car except the sound.

l was caught up between the 2 but l settled for the A45 in the end, previous car was cla45 2019 you just cant find that sort of power any where for the price your paying, personal preference comes in as well audi have a way nicer front end but l still chose the A45 incabin feel just feels way worth the coin you are dropping.

Picking mine up in a week, them seats aren't too bad BUT for long drives l wouldn't recommended still got it cause they just look to good not to have. The center touch pad is moved to the steering wheel keeping drivers hands on the wheel at all time. That is still the only down side to the interior not having anything useful where track pad was on previous models, they just straight up deleted it and put a ashtray there.. lol

ive just bought a 18 plate a45 and although i really like it, it just hasnt given me the same feeling of pure adrenalin older manual fast cars did even though its obviously quicker. I think its the interior noise when driving. It almost sounds piped in like a tesla. i remember being 16/17 and in cars that revved quicker and threw you back and the a45 doesnt feel like that. Its very nice and great to drive but i just miss the feeling of old thin metal manual cars. I miss those days. life was better
