AMG A45S Plus

[RedAMG45]

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

Blimey. Nice. Keep this thread going with how it drives etc.

I've had various hire cars with them and personally find them hideous.

They are very flimsy and literally look like an afterthought.

Dash aside, lovely car.

Never realised they are getting on for 56k, some dedication there.

Lovely, very jealous op. Be interested to hear how it compares to the old one. Obviously
has it licked in every department but sound I should think.

There is a silver one with no aero in my street, but looks too subtle to me. Black is very nice but a ball ache to keep paint swirl,free, so I’d go for yellow if my numbers come up (to drive me to the Bugatti dealership obvs)

Are you referring to the basic small screen version? If so, I agree they’re not the prettiest - however the full size version like this with the AMG software is stunning to use and look at.

Very nice car OP. Bet it goes like a fking rocket.

Was that the one that Archie Hamilton had for sale via Tony @ Gravelwood Car Sales ?

Nice. Going to keep my eye on theses. I'll take mine without the spoilers please. Proper bit of kit judging by the reviews.

Think given it’s a 70, probably not.

There’s a matt grey one on our school run.
It does look very cool in the flesh.

But, how much for a fast hatchback?
Although, it’s properly quick and bang up to date tec-wise. Just a lot of cash.......

That looks incredibly low from those pictures - do you have any issue with speed bumps etc?

[wilbo83]

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

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

the price is absurd, one of the factors in why i didn't replace my 45 last year with the new one

hows the gearbox, the originals 45 box was dogst, although improved to just acceptable in the FL cars ?

[RedAMG45]

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
