  • The hot hatch segment just got better.... Introducing the AMG A35.
    Not a full fat AMG but a compelling way to get into the AMG brand!
    Massive shoutout to Cy Rose from Mercedes-Benz Stourbridge who sourced me his demo car to vlog on.
    If you are in the market for a Mercedes then do give Cy Rose a call.

    I have this on order in this exact spec and colour. Didn't get this with aero pack as wanted to be a sensible mum lol. Personally think this colour is gorgeous, especially in the sunshine. Great review.

    Nice vid again Mo, but I still don't like the Merc. They have a great dash and the back end looks better, that colour does not look the best for the car also. Mr Hamilton has just had a bright yellow one & that looks ok but it is fully spec'ed up.

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  5 лет назад

      I agree the colour is not the best.... Yellow is the popular choice. However this is a demonstration vehicle and not a full specced out aero package like the AMG A45 I was in few weeks ago. It goes aswell as a 2.0ltr 300hp car can. EU emissions regulations are diluting the car sounds though....

    The black panel dials on the M140i looks far better than all of these cars with PS4's for dashboards. In my humble opinion. Infact, the whole interior is just better. In my humble opinion. I'm not saying that just because I own a 140i. Actually, it might be......

    How do you find it compared to the civic type r? Aside from the interior being ahead of the civic, drive and power wise would you rate them similar? Would it be eno8gh to make you move from the civic to the a35 or do you think you'd sit tight and go for the a45 when it comes along?

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  5 лет назад +1

      You know what it actually reminded me of the type r with 4wd and auto gearbox. It definitely feels quicker than the FK2/FK8.

      @mikehawk120 3 года назад

      As a x2 ctr owner let me chime in. They do feel very sim. The DCT feels like it “pulls” more when slowing or reg driving. But they A35 is def quicker, but I feel the CTR would pull away slowly in the top end. I now own a 21 A35. The CTR active suspension feels a little stiffer than my 35 with the base suspension. Interior goes to the A35 hands down, but the CTR seats, when your sitting in them, feel more comfy, but harder to get into and you have to watch your balls if you are wearing baggy shorts or jogging pants. You will crunch them as I did a few times, not fun lol.

    It is a nice car although you pay for the tech because I think it is well overpriced over here. Besides I would never ever make it this understating with that look. The blue is to dull, the rims are easy to overlook and no spoiler of extra exteriour amg stuff what so ever. I would rather go for a more agressive look like most of the yellow ones out there. But then again its just taste and someone else finds my idea horrific.

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  5 лет назад +1

      Yes this does look quite understated. Thing to remember here is that this is a dealership demonstration vehicle and these are usually specced to a price.... In this case sub £40k for lower tax band. This has got the premium plus pack on which is going to be a common option. Aero kit adds a nice styling upgrade but would then take the price over the £40k unfortunately

    Hey man, you’ve made a few mistakes...
    - The exhaust tips on this are fake.
    - the front end is different to the standard a class
    - you don’t need to do a “Cold start procedure”, it’s literally to make the car louder on start up
    - the seats aren’t real leather in this car, it’s fake leather, you need the leather package to get the real leather seats
    - the tyres are because of the wheel set up. The style pack adds 19 inch wheels and Pirelli PZero tyres
    - the 0-60 is 4.7
    Just worth pointing out man!

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  5 лет назад

      Thanks....
      Exhaust tips are open
      Cold start/loud start I think we get the jist
      Leather seats.... They're all fake artico leather...
      0-60 irrelevant because it felt quicker anyway.

      DownShift Throttle I took delivery of mine a few weeks ago.
      The exhausts are just tips and aren’t connected to the actual pipes.
      The alcantara seats have the fake the leather, the other seats are real leather. You can reference this on the MB configurator.

      Sound wise.... I think it's as good as it gets for a 4 pot. It doesn't sound like a V5 the way a Golf R sounds synthesised. Colour is a bit bland but I guess it was what was available. A black, yellow or green would look awesome
