That steering wheel is the most beautiful ive ever seen

[@restlessactivity8696]

7:23 Me: Nobody can prove how fast i was going The authority: We saw this video sir, how fast were you going Me: 70 Km/h

[@gabrielamorim3516]

6:13 awesome view!

[@staszekz2005]

The blurred dials lmao

[@durpydurp7497]

Is this highway 120 or 4 in Cali in the Sierra foothills heading east? Looks the road heading toward Angels Camp or Sonora.

[@MMT9301]

Can you make a POV Test drive of 2021 Mercedes S class testing MBUX system too ?

[@samugooo]

Westside gunn mariota sample in the beginning

[@yes8032]

The CLA is soo lovely that rear is great just change the color

[@HiiSenpai]

I'm not really a fan of the yellow but I like everything else for the price ehh maybe if I was making good money but other wise it's a great car

[@benjamingibbs8788]

I bought one last April and it’s great. But the turbo lag off the line is frustrating. It is untouchable in its power range, but you can’t drive it that way and be calm at the same time. You get beat off the line by all the posers who wish they could afford one. It in a real race, you win.

[@stevenreddy6842]

I think you have to build boost or use launch control to have a good launch. Just mashing the gas from a standstill really bogs these high-boost, dual-clutch cars down.

[@mikehawk120]

@@stevenreddy6842I agree with OP with boos. Steve yes, you have to build boost or give it a looooong second before it all kicks in. That’s what is good about bigger engines, partial throttle torque, which these do not have unless using race start. I have a 23 GLA45 and love the hell out of it, great piece of machinery. But I’m looking at ISF 500`s right now.

[@xavierquintero820]

😂 I was like “WHAT, no cup hol.. oh”

Good 👍👍👍

[@xBlackRaiderx]

I recognize this area you filmed at anywhere considering I live super close to it :D

[@martinscocan5221]

where is this? Beautiful area and roads!! Any lakes around??

[@xBlackRaiderx]

@@martinscocan5221 Littleton/Ken Caryl Colorado. And yes there's a big reservior in the area that you can use boats and other watercraft on. Nothing close to the midwest lakes but it's really all we got here 🤷‍♂️

[@TheGentry000]

What do you think is the percentage of real exhaust noise inside the cabin?

[@birreboi]

I'm not sure about this car, but the latest 45S has real 100% exhaust sound. There are mics placed around the exhaust and engine that then send those sounds into the car.

[@mikehawk120]

I have a 23 GLA45 and the sound can be annoying, but like what boi said, it’s real, just amplified. On my 20 A35, there was a connection I unplugged to to stop it, but I didn’t have the burmiester

[@anasbenhachemi2429]

I will buy this car inchallah

[@damian8792]

lmao 70k and there's still a blank spot where the parking sensors button should be

[@mikehawk120]

My almost fully loaded GLA45 was 72k and no cooled seats, 360 ca,era or the extra safety stuff. She is a blast, but your right, too expensive for the price.

[@BN99239]

Dat left foot braking doe.

[@cherif4585]

disliking for that blured speed counter ....

[@Chaudharypubg]

drive lambo

[@Cheiiba]

Left foot braking. Yikes. Couldn't finish the video

What's wrong with left foot braking?

Yy

[@homiixide]

Is this what you humans refer to as “car”?

[@Veyronp87]

70k?? my god. thats knocking on C63/M3 money

[@QuizzyV]

Base price vs base price is a much wider gap

[@bioshockzoa]

M3 is more than 100k now bud

[@Veyronp87]

@@bioshockzoa maybe with absolutely everything lol. but they start at 70 and yes i know thats no options. point is its hard to justify 70k for this car

[@Joshua97776]

13:54 yeah that shit is hot af 😂

[@jman8089]

Meh 70k for a 4 banger

[@spencersulaj4274]

first :D

[@PolaxusWNSP]

I know why they used to call it a 4matic, it better not have a 4 speed auto.

[@Ivan-bg1jp]

It's Mercedes' lingo for AWD/4WD. Just like Audi's Quattro and BMW's xDrive

[@ilhamryanzxc]

4matic 4 is 4 wheels drive (AWD) Matic is transmission

[@NinjAsaya]

Fake engine noise through the speaker let’s goooo

[@SeanyMacks]

Real engine noise brought in the microphones into the cabin........

[@Ivan-bg1jp]

Not fake. More like amplified

[@NinjAsaya]

@@Ivan-bg1jp If it goes through the speaker, it’s fake. You can’t argue that...

[@samil5982]

Car is my favourite but this color shit 👎

[@RCXDerp]

It just isn't an AMG without that great v8. I'll stick to my GT350.

[@gavcom4060]

there have been great AMGs without v8s in past history. Cylinder numbers don’t make a great AMG, performance does

[@yousef.al-assaf]

@@gavcom4060 Well-said

[@mikehawk120]

The 350 is a great stang. Just traded in my 22 Mach 1 for a 23 GLA45 , I miss the magnetic ride suspension as it brought the stang up to par, but interior is still cheap in my opinion. I’d like to grab one of the newer 500`s though, had an 11 gt500 and miss her.

[@jamesjkmorrison7355]

That's the worst car review I've ever seen, thanks for NOTHING

review? who said it was a review?
