+Chyales Tay thank you so much for the kind worda

thanks!

Bobby Ang ..

Thank you!

The Golf R and Focus RS will of course be compelling ... this GLA45 is the "How to go fast for dummies" of the lot ... you don't need a lot of skills to drive extremely fast and safe. :)

Bobby Ang ..

not sure if my brother allows ....

JUDE PATRICK LOURDESAMY MUDIAPPAN just driven one.. 130k with 200hp.. u get the power, but dun expect much.. recommend to look into it though..

james tee ..

Would love to!

IT SY: I’ve just bought a 2018 GLA45. It’s a stunning daily driver and still able to take stuff down to the dump when needed. The modes: Comfort - still a fast car, but the perfect mode for urban and boring commutes. You don’t want the car shouting at you all the time. You want a bit of peace and quiet and it delivers pace with grace in this mode. Sport - Crikey, now you’re talking. When I go out onto the back roads around where I live it’s put into sport and left in automatic. It lifts its skirts up and flies and in all honesty gives me the same amount of fun as my BMW motorbike. But still it won’t break your spine or be too "shouty". Sport+ - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It flies, add the manual flappy paddle options and it’s remarkably childish. But delivers in a splendid Mercedes “loud man in a well cut suit” sort of way. Truly it burps and farts it’s way up and down the gears and delivers a perfect smile every time you drive it in that mode. The traffic in UK being what it is you might only have a couple of miles before you need to calm it down. But that’s the delights of buying an AMG with a hand built engine. So, buy it - you will not be disappointed.

If you're a viewer from Malaysia then the Q5 you mean will be the first generation, which means the GLA250 is a more stylish, newer option even if it's not as comfy or big. If you're from another country, then it means you're talking about the new Q5, then of course! Go ahead!

Nope it's not too hard. Acceptable. As a daily car, the hindrance is not so much the suspension but the tight room. :)

No I haven't ... but like I said in this review, i find the GLA the best amongst the A, CLA group.

+AndrewChan84 every car has a limit. This one is very high

You’re correct

Carlton C it's a freaking cool feature to me compared to the BMWs and Audi.

Chick Kam Loong Exactly, it served as a working backup if your smart key /keyfob suddenly running out of juice. But for Audi, , it has a specific spot for you to put the fob at and depress the brake and start the car. I’m not sure about BMW tho haha.

Carlton C yes. Similar to those in the Japanese cars. I'm not sure bout BMW too. Haha.

Carlton C not to mention it feels rather manly compared to pressing the button. At least in my opinion. Lol.

+Kt Loo which one? Most direct segment comparison is the M2, while pro drivers can slide all day long in an M2, this is just as fast, easy and safe to go fast.

+wei wen loh oh i love the ES. GS on the other hand .... sigh ... good car, weak engine, lousy infotainment.

+Bobby Ang that's interesting , the 4 cylinder 2.5 is better than the v6 2.5. Need to test it out dy

+wei wen loh no the ES' engine is of course not as smooth sounding as the 2.5V6; just that for its price, the GS's engine isnt as appealing as rivals. The ES on the other hand, had its merits entirely on this one liner "who says you cant have flagship legroom at premium entry price?" The ES isnt as nice to drive as the GS, but its entire proposition is comfort and quiet and uncle, and it does it so well. Lexus themselces practically killed the GS with the ES because thats what most buyers are looking for, a quiet and comfortable ride. Another thing is the GS's fake engine noise, it's always there like it or not. Meanjng even if you travel at legal speeds fetching your grandma, its constantly making it sound like you're racing.

+Bobby Ang thanks for the info. Do agree the ES space is crazy giving limo like treatment. Will test drive to compare myself also

Cheers!

You can search in my channel .... already reviewed both. :)

Will try my best to arrange. :)

Thank Bobby! Looking forward to it!

Bobby Ang..

trolling? who?

The video about u said 45 doesnt join tt.. lol 😏😏

Adrian Lo Dejavu you should also review your cla45 amg just like how bobby did with this car + your stupid jokes..i bet lots of people wanna watch it.. Ceekiangg aaaa

Only a few nincompoop pussy boys there making noise doesnt mean all AMG owners are like them. They dont represent A45 owners as much as I dont need to pretend i hate cars that I love just because their father bought them one. I was trolling that few loud mouth pussies yeah :) they know who they are.

Sorry can't afford it .... :(

Sell your BMW 640i and get an external mic :P

The point is maybe he wants to capture the sound of the exhaust

Bobby Ang ..

yupe

don't think you'll have issues with the front seats. rear seats might be affected.

haha like i said ... GLA45 will be faster in the real world because it doesn't need to brake as often because of the ride height that doesn't take away handling dynamics

+Doge Wow no news ... but unlikely

+Doge Wow no news ... but unlikely

+jeremy it's an A Class segment car; by default, a 1 series wont have as good an interior as a 3 series; and if no one tells you the dashboard is man made leather you wouldn't know. The RM150k premium from the A250 is for that crazy engine and drivetrain. You hop into an M2 or M3 or RS4 you cant expect an interior that corresponds to their asking price.

Yup, Bob is right, at around 400k, a stock 2L 4 cyclinder engine firing 381hp is by far the best deal or in fact the best 4 second car you can ever get. If you're a car enthusiast, you probably realize that the A, CLA, and GLA belong to the mini AMG, similar to the 135i M sport, M2, or the RS3, and hence, you can't really expect the interior of higher end AMG models to be incorporated into models that fall within the RM300-400k range.

Yup, pretty much paying only for the engine!

well, if you take a careful look at the back of the middle console in the new E-class W213, I guess you'll be disappointed as well, as you're paying 400k for some plastic finish. Frankly speaking, if you're really expecting your interior to be covered in leather, alcantara, or some other fancy synthetic materials, you should go for nothing below the s-class.

yeah, that's part the reason why we didn't go for the W213. went the G30 530i msport instead. and boy are we impressed.

Yupe im sure its ok

+Jerry Ooi sorry no idea .. you have to ask around

Car in this video from your fan? Suggestion to include maintenance schedule and also cost in your review. Think of buying this car as my daily drive transport. Thanks.

Jerry Ooi If you can really afford it, the maintenance cost shouldn't be a question to ask.✌️

+Saladdin Man i would give my self a 2.5 at best

+god blessme it is very very fast

Yea! Actually any major difference between A45 and GLA45? Stability? Both runs in 19 inch tyres?

+god blessme A45's low suspension travel and lighter weight means on the track it will definitely be faster. But the GLA45's ride height means in the real world, it has the advantage over speed bumps, big road undulations etc - the GLA45 can brake less in the real world, hop less on highspeed highway driving when going over uneven patches.

Yeah bobby, thats why the owner is always faster than me because I have to brake before speed bumps but the GLA45 owner just ride through it but I gotta admit, 3xx Hp is really strong! But too bad the interior looks kinda dull :( Bobby can I just ask a quick question here? If you have 400k on hands for a new car, which car would you go for? NX F sport, A45, GLA45, BMW 5 series?

+god blessme GLA45 if i get to keep my current cars. But if its my only car, then the 5 series or the Volvo V90 T6

+L E.Y dont buy A45 la .... GLA 45 much better as i said in this video haha ....

A45 looks cool, but given that it's a mini hatchback, it comes with 19 inch alloys instead of the 20'' found in GLA, which is another factor to consider when picking between them.

+jack jill you have to go drive one. Make it a point to achieve. Drive both back to back and you'll know what i mean.

you are not fully utilizing all 381hp only if you don't hit 6000 rpm, but I'm pretty sure flooring the accelerator in sport or manual mode definitely brings you from point A to point B way quicker than a golf gti does.

In term of affordability reasonable price for performance of course Golf GTI. 😉

Yeah I agree. He used to say that the backfiring exhaust sounds on cars are just bullshit. Now he said that the backfiring exhaust sound on this GLA45 is very intoxicating. Damn .. this is the reason why I don't really watch this channel anymore...

Well i can easily remember more than 10 videos where the car doesn't impress and I justified why, they go from Porsches to KIAs and Toyotas. And just for your information, I'm not welcomed by Perodua and Proton for chastising them for their overtly 'proud' achievements with their econoboxes. And lastly, Jaguar still don't want to let me touch their cars after I pointed out the F-Pace's interior was a major let down and showing a part that doesn't wriggle in a RM50k car was loose in a RM750k car - which no one pointed out. So perhaps you might want to check out more of my videos before you throw such a statement. Thanks.

so your nick is rr phantom now? how many times you wanna change your nick and attack me just because i don't want to hire you?

You must be dumb

I said one of the fastest in the real world

@@BobbyAngmalaysia you must be dummmb i think, so lamborghinni urus and g amg gle amg glc amg and all ford sport version and 700 others faster than this small gla are wthat?? They are not in real worl? Are they ilusion or what?? Just curious..

@@BobbyAngmalaysia since i have gla amg brabus, g amg and urus i really don't get your "REAL WORLD" not everyone lives in a place like you in the middle of a jungle with bad roads and alooooot of trafic driving like crazy with no rules.. and i don't mean that in a bad way or to disrespect you.. just sayin if you have bad roads and you live in that enviroment that doesnt mean whole world have problems the same as you that cant drive low cars and stuff..
