- Today we catch up with Ben and his new A35 AMG! Having recently replaced his MK8 Fiesta ST Performance Edition with this, it's time for him to start modifying it! Do you think I can convince him to take it to Stage 3, and make it the UK's fastest...? ;)

Thanks for watching! :-)
Good fun mate! You’re a bad influence 😂
Dunno what you’re on about mate!
Yes Luke I told him no!!! 😂😂
Love how you had to address your hair at the start 😂😂
😅
Hi Luke I’m not over keen on yellow cars but the A35 looks stunning in yellow especially with all the black plastic aero pack on it great video 👍
Do not listen to him when he talks about wrapping please 🥺🙏🏾🙏🏾 don't wrap it
Heey wrapping is awesome and good protection. Clearly something ur father didnt had 😂
well done im really happy for your friend luke also i think he should get an armytrix valvetronic exhaust on his car
Thanks! Good idea
@@hampshirephoto no worries
Will have to look into this!
Interior is next level in the A35 👌
Too chintzy and glittery for me. A friends A35 was rendered undriveable when the infotainment system packed up (happened twice) as it is linked into everything. These cars will be nightmares once out of warranty.
@@tracktimevideos5164 if that's th case thn your correct but those who can afford shouldn't be too much trouble
@@tracktimevideos5164 totally agree. I think the interior on the A class is awful. It looks whizzy but the quality is pretty poor (the air vents feel really flimsy, lots of other parts don’t feel very solid either, creaks and rattles aplenty).
@@tracktimevideos5164 oh the irony of rubbishing an interior on any car then picturing a Ford. Use to love my ford's, always a regular at Silverstone for Ford fair, but shoddy build quality on serveral ford's have ended my love affair. Always cheap out on components you can't see - ancillaries and such. Drive well but cheap rubbish underneath.
@@guest5659 have you been in an A35? The lighting is like being in a strip club and when that infotainment packs up it renders the car imobile. It may look fancy but it's crap, I'll take a functioning normal interior anyday.
A cheap but good mod is the pan Americana grille. Looks much better.
Wrap those door handles mate ! Sweet car all the best
That’s a must!
Yes! I can’t believe they’re half chrome 😂
mate black
@@DrivingWithBen it’s because they have sensors on them due to it being keyless entry, if you don’t get premium/prem+ they won’t be chrome
Leave them. Wrap looks shite!
Picked up a stealth cosmic black last week 👌
Gotta love a yellow car looks amazing
Such a lovely looking car 👍
Thomas Tuchel looking good in the drivers seat
I’m taking that as a compliment 😎😂
Nice but is it worth the £ when other hot hatches are cheaper, just as quick and cheaper to run and service etc. Nice car but I was put off Mercedes A35 and A45 after reading the reviews. I went VW Audi route as they seem more reliable and cheaper to run.
love this car ! looks awesome
Nice haircut my man proud of you 🤪
Thanks 😅
I got mine in denim blue after having a mk8 fiesta st too 😂 even though it’s 306bhp but it is very usable, very interested to see mods on this as nobody has done it yet, I’ve only done cosmetic stuff
Thanks Ross! Hopefully a few bits to come 🙌🏻
Did you buy it off auto trader found one for a banging price but it’s gone :(
@@crybwabie6778 I bought it from Warrington Inscape last year I’ve had the subtle aero pack on it too so no big spoiler but all the other bits
Serious question but, would really want one of these if possible. Is this a PCP or HP? If PCP, how much is this a month
Probs around £300 pm
@@samuelhall2397 must’ve put a big deposit, there roughly £430 a month lol
New ones on 48 month PCP are £400 with a 5500 deposit - add some options and it can easily become £450
If this helps, I just got a brand new one same spec (premium plus) with 0 miles on 2021 plate, 4k down deposit and it’s £480 a month with 8000 miles a year. If you go direct to Mercedes and whittle them down you’ll soon get yourself a bargain
@@harvthegoat3687 not sure £480 + 4k down for an A35 constitutes a "bargain"!
Are these gearboxes ok now in this generation? I was always scared to buy an A45 due to the boxes
Was this from the guys at John Kirkham 👌
Your friend going to have some fun! They're great in yellow, not a colour that works on many cars.
Custom made exhaust and maxton body kit!!👌🏽Wicked car btw
💪🏻
Nice and all but rather a golf R or s3
All down to personal preference
Engine wise maybe, but interior, tech/gadget wise these leave them standing
I personally think that this channel deserves to have 200k+ subscribers
Kind of giving yourself a lot of credit for other people's work, are we Luke ?
Must be very exciting when you start new project like this. Doing the same myself on an M140i - looking forward to seeing this develop!!
Luke rockin the Gucci's again! Great upgrade by Ben - a Fiesta to an AMG Merc, big big upgrade. Should be able to easily modify these to 400bhp+
Ngl I live in them...! Hahah. Agreed, big upgrade for Ben!
Yeah big upgrade as you say, thank god he didn’t buy a GR Yaris, that would have been a bit of a side step and possibly less fun 😂 This one is a peach though and the colour is stunning
@@dominicb5190 after a Fiesta, anything is an upgrade 😀
@@relentlesspursuit6894 the merc is definitely a step up. The GR (Giant Ripoff) Yaris not so much sadly. A big let down for me after my test drive in one where as the fiesta was a giggle to drive, a great car but I couldn’t have one due to the rep it had in the past. To think I almost put a deposit down on the Yaris as well based on the hype, so glad I didn’t So I will be sticking with my A35
@@dominicb5190 why didn't you buy the "proper" version of the A class?
Ahhh round 2 😂 what colour you making him wrapping it.. green maybe 😉
😂👍🏻
thats a nice upgrade they look really good nice bit of amg quality aswell👍😀
they def live with their parents lol
I hadn’t lived with them for 18 months when I bought this, after I’d bought my first house at 21. It’s called financial independence lol
@@DrivingWithBen WHAT A LEGEND
Preferred the old hair style
Nice swap indeed! And it has the aero kit too, which is essential without the bonkers looking wing and canards theyre just bland. 👍👍👍
Absolutely!
Getting an actual ECU tune from a reputable company is waaaay safer than a tuning box
Can you modify cars e.g. remapping cars like these on pcp/lease? Because how is he able to mod it if he has financed pcp'd it?
Mods are fine on finance deals with the lender’s approval. Every deal is different
@@DrivingWithBen really ? No way ? Even performance mods ? Sorry for asking but who did you take the deal out with ? If they allow you to then I would definitely follow through and use them aswell. Thanks
@@OA-nc2fc an independent finance broker who introduces to selected lenders
@@DrivingWithBen ahhh okay. It’s just that I don’t know where to start. I am looking for same spec and colour as yours on auto trader and random lease website but I have no clue what to choose
All that black on the car and they fit chrome handles 🙄 definitely change them👍🏼
Why try and persuade him to go "stage 3" just let him enjoy his new car. Too much of this youtube staging up bollocks and figure chasing 💤😴
Why buy an A35 when you could of had the same new shape but A45s with 500hp and looks alot better
Different class of cars, price/fuel and insurance are big factors, and the 45s is 421bhp not 500
Plus 12-15k more
Click bait title.
How’s he affording that?!
Come on mate get a haircut ;)
Ohhhhhh don’t start 😂😂😂
Well nice colour
First thing is change the exhaust in standard format they sound like a hairdressers car,
Come on mate, its a 4cyl. It will never sound as good as a 5cyl RS car....
@@lastnamefirstname520 after owning an A45 🤮 I couldn’t agree more any 5 pot sounds orgasmic, il stick with my golf over an A35 any day of the week.They will Always be in my rear view mirror 🚀
Get a pops and bangs map, it makes the car sound nicer when in P reving it
No, no, and no.
In my opinion the interior on these looks cheap and tacky. Not a fan. Looks good outside though
Yup, it’s horrible, chintzy and naff. It’s also pretty poor quality when you actually start touching stuff.
Eventuri are working on a new air intake kit
;)
💰💰💰
i would make the door handles black
Waiting a year to start modifications. Not much content you can do. Boring
Not waiting a year, I should have been clearer. There’s lots I plan to do within a year which won’t fundamentally effect the warranty if it goes bang 😂
Oh dear. Save up for the proper amg
Let me guess, you posted this from your helicopter on the way to the strip club lol
@@Keyboardbeatz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👍🏻
@@Keyboardbeatz you associate a amg a45 with an helicopter?
@@DaleSteel you are purposely mixing a with an 😂🤣 ‘an amg’ ; ‘a helicopter’
@@lastnamefirstname520 yes
As soon as it cuts to in car and you’re wearing them pointless bits of damp cloth over your face I turn off
Tune it because they are slow in comparison
Yellow cars ftw
