The I drove the RS the other day, it was quite a raw car but I didn't really get the hype that much, full on sport settings it was way way too harsh for British B roads, engines noise was non existant, exhaust wasn't much better and although it felt punchy due to the peaky power rather than the...

Their ecoboost engines are so good that already there is a hold on all focus RS MK3's being handed over and a recall on those delivered to customers because of a possible engine fault lol

I know we rib each other butin all seriousness I hope the A45 owners on here enjoy their cars, the car as a stand alone package is cracking at what it does. In the words of Peter Jones.......I'm out

Yes I would, you've got heated seats and upgraded sound system, no sat nav? Command system which is widely regarded as the biggest selling point for trade in or private sales? Nope. My argument still stands, why not spec folding mirrors? Command nav? Stuff that 99% of people would select on...

I've not got anything against it as a car, it drives well and goes even better. My hostility is that people are being blinkered towards its flaws and trying to justify the premium. I've been on the MB A45 section forum and most don't have many options at all. A point made by people saying...

If the money reference was to me then I have owned a new M3 and a year old 55k X5M, also my S3 is £39,900 on order so according to you I could have an A45 for the same money, yet one will be faster and have poverty spec the other will be slightly slower and have nearly every option going, I know...

Lol forget the planet, in the words of Clarkson pooooweeeeeeeeerrrrrr

I agree it's massively more advanced but if your spending 45k on a hot hatch should MPG and tax brackets really matter? Get a diesel.

Look I've got no problem with the A45 I respect it and I love the look and the on paper numbers of it, I ordered one for Christ sake!!! But having experienced it on drives my beef with it grew because I just cannot see why people seem to think it's a cut above, and that includes Mercedes with...

Yes but A: as I said the merc costs 15k more so you would hope having spent nearly 50k on a 'upmarket' hot hatch that they would take it seriously. B: the amount of A45's sold makes it far easier and cheaper for merc to issue a recall. My point is that yes there are problems with both cars ie...

Oh look. Mercedes informing people about the power delivery of its new engine, and how despite its power output it is still economical.......Oh no wait the only real marketing point is that yep you guessed it biggest output for its size Also going by the bottom ten in the reliability charts...

What's the other selling point of the merc engine then? And yes I remember all those quotes from merc about its engine, it's very economical and drivable??? Oh no wait they didn't they just mentioned it's output so if we're talking output vs output it is comparable. So now your saying it's hand...

The evo 360, 400 were still available with warranty and despite having a bigger bhp per litre output than the merc which seems to be mercs only selling point of the engine, oh and the fact they supposedly build tens of thousands of AMG engines per year 'by hand' something top gear touched upon...

I'm not a liar either

I've driven three one on an extended test drive ranging from top spec to pop spec and found it lacking in any drama Wether it from engine noise or sense of speed, the interior creaked and rattled the brakes squeeked so loud people were straining around looking in traffic, I hated the ipad thingy...

Yes your right trying to accelerate in top gear at 30 is 'real world'. "unless your in the right gear at the right time?" What you mean if you can drive properly like the stig who posts a time quicker than a gallardo. I agree as an ownership prospect the merc is better in most ways but my point...

Ha ha your right get the right track and right weather and you'll be fine lol A sub 4 sec 0-60 for the FQ 400 suggest there's little lag if you know how to drive it just keep it on boost and your fine :) I missed on here where anybody said the S3 was better as a drivers car, only that people...

This is getting awfully boring now. I've proven the mercs engine isn't that special ie evo 360's, 400's, I've proven that it isn't a stated fact that the merc is the best small drivers car out there ie the M235i and that it isn't the fastest point to to point. The merc isn't THAT special...

It was one of the merc fan boys on here said it was the fastest point to point new car you can buy and you have proven that to be incorrect. And soon as though you love reviews so much and talking about 'drivers cars' http://www.evomagazine.com.au/mercedes-benz-a45-amg-vs-bmw-m135i/

Yet the M235I beats it round the track? What was that about not being able to find a new car faster point to point? Lol
