How's it drive? I think there's a major update of the drivetrain on these facelifts no?

The FL cars are a huge improvement over the originals, merc appear to have listened to the feedeback given about the original cars

Renntech have dyno'd several FL cars before moddding them and found they all run just over 390bhp which is pretty impressive for a 4 pot with a normal service interval

Needs the aero kit

They have listened and I have only done 80 miles and it is smoother
The adaptive suspension is great and sport + mode is good
I am taking easy because of running in
they have added a lip spoiler and it is suffice

Lovely these. For me, they definitely need the Aero Pack, otherwise it just looks way too much like an AMG-Line. But, that can add a certain appeal to it for some. I also think those turbo badges on the side look a bit daft and just don't need to be there.

Apart from that, a lovely purchase. I really like the colour. The updates on the facelift model seem to spruce it up a bit too.

The face lift is an improvement so far on the Non face lift I had for two years
I went for no aero but the alloys
As well i went for the limited slip diff as well and it is sharper
I am happy with badges because last one had AMG turbo

Great colour choice. Way too many white cars on the road. The red really sets off the body lines. Only thing I would do is have the wheels completely black. Great to see Mercedes hot hatches. Although I like the aero kits on them their not too everyone's taste your car is perfectly subtle and I'm sure it will surprise people with the power it has.

Great car, but every time I see a Merc with "4matic" it sounds like it should be on a 1960's American vacuum cleaner or something.

I can not wait until I have done the 1,000 miles I have surprised a couple people already
I took my father out in it who is nearly 80 years old but loves cars and he said it felt like racing car
