I picked this up yesterday and I am very happy with it
I have had non Facelift and Facelift A45 for last 7 years so a bit of a fan

I do like the new super wide digi dash in the MB range
It is very good and a great improvement

I recognise that car park, will look out for it on the local roads smile

As per a previous comment, I prefer the stealth(ish) look without the aero pack, but still a cracking car with impressive figures. I nearly ordered an A35 but the internet stories of various issues put me off.
My last A45 had no Aero but you can not get the A45s plus without the spoiler in the Uk

So far I have been impressed and well spotted on the car park

I have been lucky to own all three versions
The non-faclift the gearbox was bit dippy but the Face-lift sorted the gearbox
This one seems even better now

Love the car almost as much as the subtle name change!

I had a bmw 240 for four years but just sold it. Such a powerful engine in a small car is quite an attractive package for a usable car.
as you can see I am a bit of a fan of A45 this version is much better than my last one

I say to anyone go for a test drive because dry or wet the grip and steering is fantastic a great package

Versatility you can put into comfort mode for the boring driving and then put into sport + for the fun drives

Thank you for the comments
I have done 2730 miles and I am still smiling and the black suits it I have loads of people chatting to me at petrol stations
In the spring I will be getting remapped at DMS
It will take the power up to 478 bhp
The stats are impressive already but when tuned 0-60 3.1 and 0-90 6.1 seconds
So it will be even fastersmile
I have no issue driving everyday and in comfort mode it is just like any normal A class
People are quite surprised how fast it is and it is a great package

Have they sorted out the lag in comfort mode?
With the new & revised gearbox it is better
