    Mercedes have absolutely mastered the interiors on their cars! The furniture, lights and screens are just fuego! Those quick shifts reminded me of the PDK Porsche GT3 gearbox. Seems like a great car, although I think the RS3 has got more character. Great review bro, looking forward to more👌

    Hey what was the best cornering car you've driven so far?

    Sounds awful though. £60k is a joke

    What is that horrible 'tappet knock' type rattle from the engine? It sounds awful. Reason I ask is that I have had something similar just once on my S3 after stopping the engine after a fast run, and then restarting a couple of minutes later.
    Interior looks more like the 2019 spec S3/RS3 which is far better than the 2021 model.
    Looks as if the Merc is morphing into an Audi stylewise.

    Not crazy about the looks of this (love the rest of the line-up) but I love everything else about it. Now... that rear wiper was driving me nuts :)) - I had quite a few Audis before and only one Merc' (E55) and I would pick a Merc' again in a heartbeat (No disrespect to the lovely VAG family). The day will come! :) [many videos on my channel]

    It’s a very good car BUT it’s not a 5 pot. The sound is nowhere near as good as the Audi RS3, it sounds like any 4 cylinder 2 litre turbo car like the Golf R or Audi S3 and so for me I’ll stick with my RS3 👍

    I would like one of these for a daily or even an a35s but we don't get them here in the states. And even if they're way too expensive for what they are. The cla45 or a45s should be 50k fully loaded. These companies need to start offering warranties like kia/hyundai/genisis are
