RE: Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG: Spotted
Discussion
I test drove one of these in July. It was white with the full aero kit so looked a bit porno. I thought the interior was a little bit 'in your face' and didnt seem to be as quality as the RS3. The ride was rock hard and it must be a bit brutal as a daily. The AMG guy did part of the test drive to show us what the car could do. Its an absolute flying machine that sticks to the road like s**t to a blanket. I dont understand why people say there is no sensation of speed in these types of cars, there certainly is when your pinned to your seat and going round corners like a roller coaster.

Mine is currently my daily although temporarily, its not that harsh in comfort mode, feels just like a normal A class (ride wise). Never you mind said:
Mercedes where falling over themselves to get hold off ours. Seems they have very few A45s in stock nationwide.
We'd no problem selling ours, however the consensus was that - here in Northern Ireland - the market was quite restricted for them. No one ever did the "we'll do you a favour and take it off your hands" type thing. Two in particular were very keen, but noone was giving retail money to own it, which is not surprising i guess.

It’s mystifying why anyone would buy one of this over a used Evolution...even worse if bought new.
One is an auto, and one is not really suitable for turning up to meetings etc in. They are quite different cars.And can be got and run under manufacturers warranty.
