There's nothing exciting about this car NOTHING WHATSOEVER! The exterior is boring, the interior looks awful, Mercedes design team just did an awful job, look at the S-class, the long screen is completely integrated into the dash, while on this A-class it looks like an after thought, yay we've got this beautiful long screen but can't be bothered to design it, so just stick the screen on half sticking out (just like the previous A45 screen. This is just a A250 with the exact same engine, but give it an tune, stick an AMG badge on it, grab a few parts from the OLD A45, put a new shell on it, and here you go Merc fans, buy the A35 AMG.
It's pure laziness from Mercedes. just stick an AMG badge on everything and hope people buy their cars. C43 -AMG- and now A35 -AMG-, at least at BMW, when they stick M badges on their lower variant cars, they make it known it's M performance/M lite instead of a true ///M car, there's a differentiation, AMG is just purely diluting their AMG brand.

Mr
This weighs almost 100KG more than an Audi S3 Sportback and has marginally less power. Also Audi and VW group in general know more about 4WD performance cars than anyone else since Merc and BMW have only recently gone to XDrive and 4Matic. And then there-s the design - it has two flimsy looking tailpipes which the M140i has BUT that car makes up for it with a characterful 3L V6 soundtrack. And finally it-s an A-Class which is the girliest of the premium hatchbacks on offer. So not really a strong competitor at all. -

I don't think it's worth the money because like everything from MB, it's overpriced just for the sake of snobishly waving three-pointed swastika on the grill.
I would rather buy Golf R, and I don't even like that company for their scammy practices.

Currently got a M140i and love it don-t get me wrong, but I-d love to try an AMG. They are killing it at the moment but I think I-ll wait out for the A45. BMW will always be in my heart - but AMG is just great right now.

0: 42 How is 300hp not a lot of power? LOL man our perspectives have been SKEWWWWWWWWWWED in the last decade by the myriad of super cars pushing 1000hp. In competent hands 300hp is plenty.

Pathetic review. a childish so called journalist who calls 0-100 -lightning fast- speaks volumes of how many cars he's reviewed.
