Looking at pre facelift A45s.


It seems every car listed for sale from Merc dealers has Sports Suspension listed under "features". I recall when the car was launched there was a choice of two suspension setups. Would anyone know if the reference to sports suspension is the standard one, would every single car have been specced with sports suspension as an extra?

Reason I am asking, is that I seem to recall that the A45 was pretty firm even as standard, so would be surprised if everyone chooses an even harder setup.

Any thoughts would be helpful - I know there are a few current and ex A45 owners on here.

That is very helpful. Thanks. We are after a small(ish) car. I know you are back in the C63. Do you find it a much bigger car?

Went for a test drive today, pre face lift. Very impressed with the ride. Compared to our TTs on magnetically it was very compliant.

Wife loved it, and she hates the Auidi.

Top of the new car shortlist.
