- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- The ALL NEW AMG A35 is here and Mercedes wants the performance enthusiasts to be happy. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine that is producing 302HP, mated to an 8-speed DCT transmission and power getting to the ground through the 4matic AWD system. On the outside you will find subtle styling cues letting you know that this is an AMG product. On the inside there is a well laid out cabin and a steering wheel taken off of a Formula 1 race car. Is the NEW 2020 Mercedes AMG A35 a REAL performance sedan?

Is it just me or did anyone else not hear it start up🤔😂
It's quiet
I said the same thing. I never heard it start.. Moonroof/panoramic would seal the deal for me.. Oh, let me finish watching the video..
My bad it has an oversized sunroof.. Just as GOOD!!!
@@maryrobinson4131 it’s a good buy.. I had the new a-class, currently drive the new cla (this exact spec), and now have one of these coming in about a month.
*Real ones reach back and pull people up. Props to y’all for the channel recommendations at the beginning* 👍
Facts!
I own an A35. I've had it for over 2 months. I love the handling, throttle, and overall design of a sleeper sports car.
$56k is a lot for an A35. My dealer has like 5-6 cars with barely any options, which is what I got. MSRP with no options sets you back 45k territory, and the infotainment system comes standard with apple car play/android auto.
When comparing this car with a bmw m240i or an Audi S3, this car just blows the other two out the water.
How it on gas
Thanks for sharing that great input from ownership!
@@1Nathanc Good question!
Hey, Im about to get an A35. Just wondering if you gotten the amg ride control sport suspension option or would you recommend of getting it?
But why would you get this instead of a Golf R? 🤔 the R comes with all of the advanced tech standard, same 0-60 times, AWD, and is much cheaper. Adding the standard Golf R tech to this runs you $60k. I understand the A35 has a nicer interior, but I don’t see that interior being worth a $20k difference
It's become a routine for me to get off work, come home and watch Joe do a car review.
I really appreciate you doing that Shawn! I am so glad that I can bring them to you!
I’m with you Shawn! 💯
Me too. He's like a friend showing you his car.
Literally me right now just got home grabbed my IPad now I’m on my 5th video.
I love your commitment to bringing us great content especially during these hard times.
Thank you my friend! You guys deserve the best and I want to bring it to you!
You mean germphobic stupid times
A combination of Joe Raiti and Doug DeMuro. "THIS!" is "ON THROTTLE!"
Doug: I wear shorts
Joe: I wear them too
Doug: I shave my knees
Joe: I will skip that till Sunday
That is really nice of you to say!
Joe you should do a live stream with other auto RUclipsrs, ie. Doug demuro. It would definitely bring in more viewers and enthusiasts together in our car world.
Manuel Munoz I’d love to see that too but if I’m not mistaken Doug doesn’t do collabs.
I never knew😭😭
“You can put plenty of twinkies in there” 😂
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
He says in all his review yah depends on the car lol
@@thelastsamurai5583 Have to have that snack storage
That has too be one the best looking car dashes! Wow! Surprised how big this A Class! sweet ride Joe...nice full video!!
I am so glad that you like this one.
I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers you definitely work your ass off with endless content.
Thanks man I appreciate you saying that! I take it one car review at a time!
I drove one of these (A220 not the AMG version) recently as a loaner while my car was being serviced. I was very impressed with the styling and overall quality of the ride and handling of this baby Benz!
Thanks for sharing that input from your experience!
I love that car. The silver on black exterior and interior look incredible...the whole dash area looks cool.
You have great tatse!
This is just a tease for me, If we had the hatch over here I would have jumped on that ASAP! Nice vid as always!
I totally agree with you Jacob!
Joe I’ve been waiting so long for you to do this review. I really want this car. Perfect timing Joe your the best car reviewer. Joes the 🐐🐐
Thanks Austin. I hope it was worth the wait. The pandemic screwed up the delievery.
Raiti's Rides it definitely was worth it
Maybe off topic, but Mercedes always has the most beautiful dealerships. Just really nicely done architecturally. Plus, beautiful car as usual.
You are so right about that!
ZONK anyone’s brain who buys this for $56k 🙅♂️
LOL
Every merc is worth a penny for me
george ibrahim good luck with maintenance costs... 2 oil changes every 10,000 miles which costs $100+ for a benz... don’t even get me started on parts 🤦♂️I’ll stick to my Altima
hiroshima thompson the A class is the retarded little brother of da Mercedes lineup
Nasir Sadiqi well thanks atleast I’ll be driving a fun car for now
So close to seeing the A45s here on Raiti's.... Super nice this one.
I know right! I can almost taste it!
I had to rewind and turn my volume all the way up to hear it start
I feel your pain!
"Let's see what it sounds like..."
Nothing. It sounds like nothing.
hahahahaa😄
Because he didn’t put it in sport mode where the exhaust valves open.
Joe is easily one of my favorite car reviewers on RUclips. And the Twinkie and other snack references are always hilarious.
Dang!!! This car is faster than my 2017 Mustang GT!! Very impressive
I know right! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
It's very nice that you gave a nice extra details about the car and it's class.
Thanks for saying that!
I'm not a fan of Mercedes, however I really like how the turbo is upfront and extremely easy to access and upgrade, if need be. I use to have a 2006 Mazda Speed 6 and that turbo was basically unreachable. Awesome video as usual.
I really appreciate you sharing your great input and perspective!
Mercedes has been killing it with their new A class and CLA, it looks so darn good and the AMG 35 variants are very interesting. But Joe is killing it more than Mercedes, makes me wanna say Hey Benz follow Joe Raiti
You are really awesome for saying that! I am so glad that you are part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Yea and for people complaining it looks similar for me it doesn’t even look similar
Have a C300 now and love it, but trying to figure out an empty nest car for next year. This will be high in my list to check out. I live in a rural area with a lot of twisty back roads, so small, nimble and zippy sounds great.
Thanks for letting me share it with you Mark!
These are extremely fun to drive; very nimble. With the upgraded suspension, the handling is top notch.
Great channel man! I've been loving this content so much I decided it's time for me to support. So I got a hat, and a T-Shirt from your merch Joe! Great job man... Hardest working man on YT!
Oh wow man! Thanks for being part of the Raiti's Rides family and for helping represent! It means so much to me!
Great work man! Its not easy to churn out good content with this high frequency. I like the fact that you focus more on real world street use of these cars because that is where people will be driving them most of the time.
It would be great if you could conclude your videos with probably a score for these cars in areas such as luxury, performance etc and maybe some comparison of same class cars to help us viewers get a good understanding of how these cars stack up. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing that great feedback and input.
Good Luck ! :)
2:25 there’s no way he’s talking to me 😂
$56k? Is Mercedes smoking crack? What would make me buy this vs a C43 with a twin turbo 6cyl…
Thank you for doing this video, I’ve been so excited! 🙏
You are so very welcome! I am so excited that I can share it with you!
Thank you so much
@@ryanlittle5312 You got it!
Hey Raiti the evolution of your Twinkie jokes have been cracking me up thanks for the good work.
I am so glad that I can keep you laughing!
Its amazing...anytime I see a vehicle I want a review for, I check the Tubes and I see a freshly posted video done on it by you. Every time. Without fail.
Great review Joe, as always!
I really appreciate that man!
Get in there Lewis... oh sorry, get in there Joe! Also love the Canada snow joke at the end of the video lol
Thanks Andy! You are so great!
Lewis?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why did he keep mentioning food through the video 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a clever dude
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
If your team was hiring would gladly take that opportunity in a instant, seem like an awesome dude to work for
Thanks Franco! I will let you know! That really means a lot!
No thank you Joe for the entertainment & consideration.
My first Mercedes sedan! Nice video Joe.
I'm a Korean viewer and watch your videos for improving English lol.
What would the MSRP be for this in 2024? Looking into this.
My next car and thank you for doing this review we all appreciate it
You are so very welcome Jeffrey! I appreciate you letting me share it with you!
No snow yet Joe....it's about 82 degrees right now here in Toronto
I wish I could say it was 82.
I love me some Raiti’s rides review. I only consider cars that have a review from him and Doug. Keep it up
So weird I've been looking at this car the past week and now you made a video about it 😳. Love the videos
It's a sign Cameron!
@@RaitisRides I just checked my local dealer and they have a A220 amg line for only 29,000 msrp was 47,000 with only 4,700 miles on it
Nice looking car but I can get a pretty good equipped C43 AMG for $60K after dealer incentives
I know how you feel!
i like the IS F Sport better
I had a feeling your would say that!
@@RaitisRides LOL you know it
The Good man I like this better
Mazda 3 Premium, A class AMG, Audi S3, and BMW M2 CS.👍
😮😮😮What? You got in the back seat?
"On Trottle"😀😁😆😂🚀🚀
( best statement in 2020 )
All the best Shaun of NYC
Thanks Shaun! I appreciate you being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Compact 4 cylinder sedans aren't really my definition of a Mercedes Benz but I kinda like this car. CPO deals a few years from now will be awesome.
You hit the nail on the head.
There is a lot of gloss black on the dash and centre console. However, Mercedes is smart and they don't use gloss black on anything you will be touching.
Joe your great at reviewing but you forgot to mention in this video to buy the extended warranty you will need it!
I think most would lease this one.
Great video! Been waiting for this one. Hope you do one on the big brother the A45
The a45 is bespoke to Europe lol you get the bad one and we get the one with 421 hp
Thanks Juan! We don't the A45 in the States!
@@benwalsh7018 You are correct!
I want that dash and vented seats in an c-class c63s amg 2020 😤
I know how you feel!
I mean it's impressive amg is squeezing out that much performance and efficiency out of a inline 4, but for 56k I'd rather go for a m340i with their buttery smooth inline 6. Design and interior of the Mercedes definitely nicer with that huge infotainment display
I totally can understand where you are coming from.
Like right away, watch, and enjoy is my routine
Thanks Giovanni! I appreciate the support!
Definitely not a bad ride to bad the USA doesn’t get the hatchback but if i had to choose a sedan I’d take the CLA over this
I think I would go CLA as well.
Regardless of its size, its a MB, and it's an AMG!
Sharp clean body lines, Great Wheels, and Tires, love Black and Chrome, and could use a tad more of the shiny stuff!
Awesome powerplant layout, and definitely powerful.
4G, lower than I expected! Interior well designed, and featured!
Agree, the seats could use more bolstering! Business side... "Solid" !
You look a little cramped in the back seats. HUD unit, definite plus!
Are you aware you had an extra pair of legs and feet with you on the road test? That's a first, I've ever seen that!
Great Review, on a fun little package! 👏👏👍👍
Thanks Joe, for bringing the, "A" class, to the channel! 🏁🏁
What would I do without you Donald! Thanks for sharing your great input with some wonderful laughs!
@@RaitisRides Thank You, it's much appreciated... 👊🤜🤛😁
Great review. Thanks for posting, from New Zealand. 👍😎
You are so very welcome!
Mercedes always makes a great interior no matter the car, this was no different. The MSRP of 56K is a bit much for a compact sedan even that it is an AMG. A starting MSRP of around 40K is more like it.
At most a starting MSRP of 43k to 45k.
Great Review !!!
How Much Is The Power To Weight Ratio Of A35 AMG ???
Can You Compare It With Non AMG A Class Sedan ???
LOL. I think they over engineered the trunk lid supports (-:
I know right!
Would love to see audi r8 v10 compare to nsx from last video
I will try to get that together!
R8 wins no doubt
I am a fan of the Mercedes AMG Joe one I will park one in my garage
I am so glad that you are digging this one Antonio!
Can I be your assistant lmao!
You are awesome Logan!
If you’re viewing, liking and commenting then you’re the best type of assistant for Joe and the channel!
This car is very appealing. I'm surprised you get all of this with the AMG perks for 56k. That's not bad at all. I also like how you blocked the speedometer for most of the test drive. 🔥
I am so glad that I could take you on the drive for this one.
Hey Joe, great video. GLE 53 maybe? Would love that
I will track one down for you Nonnor.
why would you buy this when you can get a Golf R, which comes with more tech, for much cheaper. and the same 0-60 time 🤔
I do believe Thors Hammer is a saying trademarked by Volvo. Volvos DRL are referenced as Thors Hammer. Just a quick car 101.
Agreed! (XC40 owner here) Especially odd when referencing brake calipers.
I already knew that man. Thanks.
@@jeffs6090 I like to be odd
@@RaitisRides just in case.
Was the valves closed?? I didn't hear a thing
Great review!! Hope u get to drive the acura TLX type-s soon!!! Can’t wait for that one!! Rock on
Please do a review on the 2021 GLA.
I have one coming soon!
Great looking car, I love Benz put the luxury features and new tech Into there base models but it’s also a great Hauler for Twinkies
You are so very right!
Your reviews are brilliant, very well illustrated.
Thank you for saying that and letting me share it with yiou!
Have you done a review on Mercedes C class Coupe? I own one and it would be great to see your viewpoint. Thank you.
Gateway. As in gateway drug?? LoL
Cars are the best drugs ever!
Raiti's Rides they truly are, that’s why we all can’t get enough
@@speedtab215 Heck yeah!
Hey great review. How would you compare this to the stinger gt?
I was searching a sedan but I'm waiting till I see something satisfy me
Pleasantly surprised by this car. For an entry level AMG, this car achieved perfect balance of power and interior. Mercedes definitely steped up the game. Thanks Joe for bring us this car because almost nobody care about this car.
Clicked on this to see you haha 😂
Thanks Lupe!
If it was 40-45 grand it be perfect i dont know about pushing 60
The best of all
Thanks man!
how do cargo nets on the back of the front seats seem cheap ? yall better be lucky mercedes decided to put anything there , some cars just have plastic backs with no storage at all .
In the uk we has the a45s and it’s way faster
You guys are lucky!
Was that start up on the "Emotion start"? Because it's very weak if it was. But maybe needs a fair redo if it wasn't.
Not hating, genuinely curious as I actually WANT one of these (Or the CLA35, same car in a different suit).
How would you compare this to the CLA35? Does it feel the exact same just look different, being it has the same specs.
Nice little vehicle. It has lots of options. Not sure how I feel about the two 10.5 inch screens. At $56k you’re paying a premium for owning a Mercedes AMG. Great review once again Joe!!! Thanks for bringing these vehicles to our attention. 👍
The name definitely comes at a price!
Does he ever change his introduction lines? Lol right off the bat
While my people were getting their c300 fixed, they got loaned this car, looks a little different like the rims (they still had the amg logo) but despite that I took it for a spin and it was pretty nice, shifts quick, sounds good, but tbh I feel like I heard the turbo in the c300 more so, but that’s just personal preference, for what it was it’s respectable
Thanks for sharing that great input and perspective!
Mercedes version of a modern Lancer Evo X
It is close.
I was about to say that except this has a real interior
@@santiagoluna3599 Good point!
I bet this car looks nice at night after it rained!
Why did u cover the speedometer?! Lol
I totally agree!
Why do you cover the speedometer?
Out of curiosity ...Why would someone get this or a CLA amg when you can get an S4 for less [and is much more car]?
They like Mercedes better!
Benz number naming are all over the place now. They just giving the cars any number now...they really need to go back to engine placement naming
I think this would be a little more worth it if they would have put the GLA45 engine in it (don't know why they didn't). It's a decent car but I think I would rather have a used GLA45 over this, unless like others have said and they would give us the hatch version. Great job as always Joe
LOL...when you did the exhaust sound clip I couldn't even hear it
Trust me I feel your pain!
Wait, why did you cover up the dash with your logo! I was looking for the speed lol. All jokes aside, good content 👌
I like that you look at many different cars, trucks and suv’s even though I am not interested in the A class Benz - nice to see where price falls when I do want to consider a luxury sport model
Hey Joey R! Another great review, man. I like this little kraut. Love it in black, with that wicked cool steering wheel. As a smaller built JV baseball guy, I would fit quite well. :) JV Johnny
Hey Johnny! I like the little kraut nickname!
@@RaitisRides Thank you for all the really great reviews and car guy entertainment Joey! I really enjoy them and your humor throughout!
A lid for that cup holder and wireless charging part is optional.
Should not be at this price point!
@@RaitisRides Agreed. I was shocked to see it as an optional extra in the configuration in my country. Even a rear armrest was optional. Very sad.
I can’t find these anywhere in my state bruh
I just imagine man!
Is this the same engine thats i the infinity?
I just don’t like new Benz interior and that shared display for dash meter and infotainment and maps
Got some drift action going at 16:12 👀😂 Giving the viewers the full Raiti's Rides experience 👍🏽
Oh yeah! No holding back! 😉👍🏻
