"2020 Mercedes-AMG A45 S 4MATIC+" Test Drive & Review - TheGetawayer

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- For review No.9 of my Anniversary Series I test drive the 421 hp Mercedes-AMG A 45 S. This AWD Hot Hatch runs a 2.0 Liter Twinscroll-Turbo with 2.1 bars of boost and comes with AMG's new Torque Control and Drift Mode. Would you spend 80.000 Euro on a Hot Hatch? Let me know in the comments and stay tuned for the next reviews!

Would you spend 80k for the A45??? Also: If you missed some of my new videos, here is the 2020 playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLAgd55y0S6JulRs5Yp7VfnseP6oH9iGpI
I like this car but it's to expensive in my opinion.
Never missed a new Video! Siting here waiting.... 😉
Get a porsche for that kind of money..
Would prefer a used 991 or used AMG GT which you can get for 80k. but as an amg owner and former a45 owner I will always love this kind of cars. A45 was my first Benz and I still love it. Even although I have missed to order the sports exhaust in my first Benz. 😂
me personally absolutely not! in this segment i would go for a second hand mk3 focus rs with a proper manual gearbox and if power would seem insufficient I would add a mountune package on it. In Germany those RS are around 25000 - 30 000 for a 2 years old car?! The smart AWD tech this Merc is using was more or less first out on the market with the Focus RS MK3.
If I had the money, then probably yes.
Another great review Guido.
What’s next?
I would only spend my money on Porsche. But you make this Merc look tempting.
Fair enough and thank you for watching the video anyway :)
Impressive hot hatch. Looks good. They did a great job. Tough price to stomach. Great review.
Great technology statement this car is - but it isn’t a hot hatch imo: no front wheel drive, no manual and double of the usual price range. Still a great car...
You do have a point. What should we call it?
TheGetawayer ...let’s call it Performance MFC (Multi Functional Car)....🤨
TheGetawayer it’s no longer a hot hatch, it’s now a hyper hatch. AMG welcomes you to the new world of hyper hatch’s with hyper price to match
Excellent review, Guido.
80K is indeed a LOT to pay for a car the size of a VW Golf. Very good looking car, though, especially inside. It's basically the new standard in terms of quality and design.
I like this car so much. Thx for this review.
Erstmal liken und dann in Ruhe anschauen und genießen 👍
Danke :)
This is nearly Carrera 4S w/ PDK. So while 80k is a lot - that is sorta what you’re getting. Maybe not dynamically but for most folks .....
Good point yes!
I would love to see you do a test in RUF CTR or SCR.

Great review thank you.
Had my A45S for 6 weeks. Finally run-in, and it’s just amazing - I love it ! Have to admit that it doesn’t sound as good as the Audi RS3 though !
It 's beautiful . I Would Buy it absolutly. Greetings from México Herr Guido 🇲🇽🇩🇪
Great review 👏👏
For me this car is the embodyment of everything that is wrong with the car industrie nowadays. Including: small displacement turbocharged engine, artificial sound, front wheel biased 4 wheel drive, ugly busy design with lots of (fake) “bits” added to make it look sporty, digital speedometer, fingerprint prone materials etc. etc.
Im all for the analog stuff myself, but the interior here is a step ahead of the rest of this class. And people want tech! We all use smartphones, so cars have to keep up. Engines and drivetrains will get much smarter but less exciting than this, Im sure
Now I order one after the car got Gidos blessings! 🙏🏾😊
Haha, I like your way of researching :)
New Car ordered! 🤩💪🏾😊 Thank you Guido! ✌🏾
Your back!
Yes since february :) Did you miss some of the new uploads?
@@TheGetawayer I sure did. Do you do any reviews with another channel? Thought I might have heard you. Then a few days later I see this!
I'm from Malaysia. And l like your videos... It's amazing. Anyway Tq... Keep it up.
Man, 425hp out of a 2 liter??? That's nuts! I guess you don't need 5 cylinders, Audi ;)
I'm sure Audi will respond with at least 450 hp :) That 5 cylinder has so much more to give
I like your reviews so much!
Thanks for your positive feedback!
Mercedes sure know how to make a car sound good 👌another great review. Lookin forward to the next one🤙
Thanks Tony!
The problem is this engine will not last long. Think about it: it’s half the engine of the 4L V8 with almost the same hp. My AMG Service Tech has said the same thing. Enjoy this as a lease, but don’t expect 100,000 miles.
Man, great review again! Could you get a test drive of C 43 AMG or have you driven already - best of all worlds? Peugeot 508 GT also could be surprisingly good. Greets from Finland, going to visit Nordschleife soon. :)
Thank you! Yes, I did a few comparison tests with the C43 at Auto Bild. Always liked the engine and sound, but the fixed 40:60 AWD makes for a handling like the car is on rails. Not bad at all, but less exciting than the new Audi S4 and especially the BMW M340i, which I think is still the best car in this segment. Enjoy your time in germany!
As always good job!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great review Guido! Lots of great info and beautiful filming as always!
Thanks Matt, great to read a comment from you again, I appreciate it :)
Yess, finally a non boring car review :)
Doing my best, thanks ;)
Keine Ahnung warum hier immer wieder Vergleiche zum RS3 oä gezogen werden... dieses Kiste sieht by far besser aus und das auch innen. Ich hab genau so einen; aber bedauerlicherweise ist bei meinem vieles nicht ausgereift: bei ner Rennsemmel mit allem pi-pa-po wie in meinem Fall erwarte ich zu annähernd 100% perfekte Verarbeitung und entsprechende Zuverlässigkeit. Bei mir nach 349km erster System Bordelektronik Totalausfall, danach (zu Beginn des Sommers 2020) fingen die Bremsen an zu quietschen (anscheinend derzeit ein häufig aufkommendes AMG Problem). Inzwischen die Karre zum 4. Service Termin beim DB Stützpunkt, neulich erneut Tacho Anzeige auf Blackout, zum wiederholten Male stellte sich heraus dass bei der Herstellung offensichtlich Kabelstränge unsachgemäß verlegt wurden - in Folge dessen abgequetscht und so weiter.... wer zahlt mir diese nervigen Servicestellenbesuche eigentlich? Noch 1 Vorfall innerhalb der Garantiezeit und ich geb das Ding zurück. Ohne Worte. Ich kann nur warnen, Freunde.
Der RS3 ist nun mal der Hauptkonkurrent. Optik ist Geschmackssache. Die technischen Probleme sind ärgerlich. Ich kann Dir den Auto Bild Kummerkasten empfehlen. Nicht weil ich mal für die Sportscars gearbeitet habe, sondern weil ich aus einem anderen Job weiß, dass das den Kundenservice des Herstellers ordentlich aufschreckt, wenn da eine Email reinkommt. Grüße, Guido
A45s AMG or C63 507? Which one would you buy if you could only have one car?
Of course the 507. Does it get more AMG than a C63??? Not for this german here😉
@@TheGetawayer In Norway, a 2014 507 is double price of a 2010 normal C63. Would you buy 507 or normal one? Is there a big difference between the two in your opinion? Thank you so much for your advice.
Nice job ! thx
You're welcome!
Will the car undercarriage crashes on bumpers due to its low cut body design?
I had no problems during testing
TheGetawayer I see..thx man...Awesome video 👍. Keep goin’.
Dream car ❤😊
Sooo expensive, better cars for same price. Still havent seen one, only a35. Mercedes is trying to be someone else. Comfort and luxury is mercedes, not agressive sport car. Bmw and porsche are the only brands that can build a true sports car in my opinion
I don't agree: AMG is totally its own thing andup there with BMW and Porsche.
No, I wouldn’t. Get a golf R and slap a stage 2 on it and it becomes so close that it doesn’t matter anymore. I’ll keep the rest of my money for track days in the golf or better yet, get a BRZ for the track.
Curious to see the Golf 8 R. I loved the MK7 as you know
I can't decide which looks better, this or the CLA
Shooting Brake I say :D
Nice Review
Thanks!
RS3 and A45 are sometimes called hyperhatch :-)
Seems like they make up new titles every season :D
Great review 👏......when you reviewing an M5 Comp ?..
Driven it a bunch last year, but I think a new one is coming in the not so far future. So will see what BMW can offer for the next test ;)
Nice review! Would love to see your take on the A35 as well!
Thank you! I will put it on the list :D
Yeah man, why not. I own the Golf R MK7.5 as well. A45S is an awesome car really. Handling and performance just on the next3 level. My A45S Edition 1 will be next in my car garage next few weeks. 😜👍
Come back and tell me how you like it after the first drives :)
TheGetawayer Sure will 👌
@@amg4616 and?
Glad you gave it the thumbs up because i would have had to cancel my order lol
It's a fun car for sure, I think you will enjoy it :)
@@TheGetawayer did it feel quicker than the M2 Comp and audi rs3 ? iv had both and only problem was the very short 1st gear on m2 comp (stick) and audi was better but little on and off power like the old school turbo cars!
@@26Tackle.reviews I think they are very closely matched, also from what I read in magazines who do testing. The BMW feels punshier to me and more violent in gear. BMWs launch control and rwd is no match from a stand still to keep up with the RS3 and A45 but at the top, I think its quicker even with a manual. That said the A45s engine felt great and I really enjoyed it responsiveness and top end. Hope that helps and I'm sure you will like yours! Let me know
New rs3 will have all this with a 5 cylinder sound 💁♀️
Yes, I'm curious to see it. Drove the TT RS again for a review this year (maybe you've seen it?) and I loved it. That engine is a masterpiece and should survive as long as possible
Turns out the RS3 didn't add all that to the latest version. But atleast it has a drift mode too now for fun.
maintenance nightmare money pit sink hole.
Really? Why?
English!
Yes
Die Mercedes-Bank und die Leasingabteilung werden den Preis schon hinbiegen, falls man nicht als Influencer VIP-Konditionen bekommt. Ich hab da eher Sorgen um das, was mit diesen Autos im Straßenverkehr veranstaltet wird.
Ist schon die Frage, wer die Käufer sind: Für 18 bis 35 ist der A45 wohl zu teuer. Jenseits davon kauft man eventuell gleich einen C43 oder C63.
TheGetawayer Kann gut sein. Für die Fahren solcher Autos ist halt geistige Reife nötig, sonst wird’s kritisch. Und die ist nicht unbedingt vom Alter abhängig - ich sag nur Midlife-Crisis... Mir fällt eigentlich kein „gesunder“ Grund ein, so ein Auto zu kaufen.
Warum C43 oder C46... warum mehr Blech durch die Gegend schieben als nötig? Kurz und knackig.. und mehr Laderaum als die C-Klasse. Dürfte meinen in 2 Wochen unterm Arsch haben 🥰
@@samothemanon5531 Naja, diese Ansicht ist mir als Autofan dann doch zu negativ und unabhänigig von Leistung und Alter des Fahrers: Jede Fahrt sollte mit wachem Verstand unternommen werden ;)
@@maroc637 Ich habe 2018/2019 fast die komplette AMG-Palette in Vergleichstests für Auto Bild Sportscars getestet und mag vorallem den C63 und E63 sehr gerne. Das urwüchsige Schieben dieser V8s ist schon etwas besonderes, was Du mit einem Vierzylinder nicht nachahmen kannst ; ) Hier ein Link: www.autobild.de/bilder/amg-c-63-s-auf-dem-sachsenring-14221567.html#bild1
