Good to go back to these great videos for reference. Thank you so much. I have just found out about Augumented reality, and I read that it was standard on the cla, but alas no I think. Can my local Dealer install this and do you know what the cost might be.🤗

@ABAUTOAMG Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Ah yes the Augmented reality should of been standard on all CLA45s models but during the big semiconductor shortage at its peak Mercedes pulled Augmented sat nav from every single model. The demo car I had before I got my CLA45s had it but it was removed just before mine got built so mine does not have it too. It’s very cool technology but it’s not as helpful as I had expected when I tested it, I wish I had it though! It might be possible to retro fit, il try find out and do it if you can, that would make a good video! The car is missing a camera that would normally be mounted on the centre mirror, it actually records from the inside of the car. It’s a shame because If our cars had the little augmented reality camera we would get another nice feature too. When you come to a stop at some traffic lights the camera comes on the screen so you can easily see the lights if your too close so you don’t have to hurt your neck looking up. I could easily make good use of that one with some of the light positions on my daily commute!

@georgedale2821 Жыл бұрын

One thing I have found recently is when driving my CLA 45s on a very wet motorway, the braking performance can be much reduced and has given me one or two heart stopping moments. Also the rear brakes (when wet) seem to seize up sometimes the next morning after having been parked overnight. Have you experienced any of this?

@ABAUTOAMG Жыл бұрын

Hi George, I’ve found the brakes on mine to be really impressive. On my track day vid we did some good brake tests and it stopped unbelievably quick. I think because the car has such incredible traction in the wet and is so fast it can sometimes take you by surprise when stopping in the rain. Stopping always takes longer in the wet and it’s so easy to go fast without realising in this car. Tyres also make a huge difference. Mine are noticeably less grippy now after some wear. We’ve had nothing but rain here for weeks so I have experienced some brake seizes in the morning after being parked for a long time. If I feel this I just brake a few times as I leave my driveway and it soon frees up before I’m on any fast roads. All my AMGs with bigger brakes have had this so I think it’s normal. Hope this all helps!

@georgedale2821 Жыл бұрын

@@ABAUTOAMG Yes, that’s my experience after being parked up overnight, you need to gently apply the brakes as you drive off, which are fine thereafter. I think it’s just the steel discs rusting up, which no doubt is fairly normal.

I have plans in getting the 2023 model (without the trackpad) but the only thing holding me back is from hearing horror stories of people receiving their brand new cla 45s and driving less than 2k miles where their engine needs a replacement due to coolant issues.

@ABAUTOAMG Жыл бұрын

@aesthetics6664 No probs, 2023 model is great. Really nice upgrades on the mbux system. I would try not to worry. If there were any common issues they would of changed something on the engine on the facelift. I think it’s incredibly bad luck and your only going to hear about the bad online and not so much the good. Just make sure to take the car to run the engine in the first 1000 miles. There will be a sticker in the top corner of the window explaining exactly how to run the engine in properly. The only niggle I had was a top up coolant message after 11 months which turned out to be very common and not a problem at all. It’s never come back since the service/minor top up. It was never really very low just a very sensitive sensor which is a good thing :)

@aesthetics6664 Жыл бұрын

@@ABAUTOAMG Appreciate your insights on the 2023 model! The upgrades to the mbux system sound fantastic. Your advice about not fretting over common issues makes sense, positive experiences might not get as much online attention. Thanks for the tip on the engine break-in process, I'll make sure to follow the instructions for the first 1000 miles. Your experience with the minor coolant message issue shows that sometimes it's just a sensitivity thing, which is reassuring.
