well this car definetly offers more than a regular Civic or Corolla

@@kristians2704 for almost double the price. I sure as hell hope so. Corolla will run circles around this in reliability

The tech isn't dumb. It's the one person using it. Rather watch other reviews of it. Cars like this are not meant for Americans anyway.

@@SDav21 I agree, is totally a chick car. I was waiting for them to show the tampon dispenser. No guy would be caught dead driving this over here. Maybe over in ye old country smaller roads and lil guys not as big as we are. Maybe other reviews will have better luck with that gizmo commands. I don't think there's a car company around that can work voice commands accurately

@@davidlusk4350 So self absorbed. And these voice commands DO work properly.

@@SDav21 I can tell, worked great in my lexus and chevy Silverado hd. Better off with a phone. What di you drive currently? I'm guessing your over in Europe area

Novice MTBer there are so many better options for that price. I think you can get a Camry or low end Lexus etc for that price. Bigger better cars with bigger engines.

Novice MTBer It’s a crappy car. No one in their right mind would pay more than 30k for this pile. I’d rather have a base Camry.

It would be better to get a Tesla Model 3 instead.

💯 true 👍🏻

So what's wrong with that? The same engine in the AMG version makes 380 hp. The most powerful 2 litre 4 cylinder. This version is not meant for speed. Plus, the Honda may have 250hp but will probably be slower to 60.

@@SDav21 the loaded touring has 0-60 of 5.7sec plus a quick and easy hondata fast will make it a bit faster without losing much reliability or mpg.

it’s wrong this 2.0 was refreshed for 228 hp

@@SDav21 Nope, besides, who cares "if this is the slow version"... so is the Accord. (technically the Type-R engine) 180 hp is very bad in 2020 for a 2L Premium Sedan. If @#StandYourGround is correct, 228 is much much better. Still a bit less, and still a bit heavier than just an Accord... However that brings it just over even just a base line Camry 202, or base line Accord at 192. I get it, horsepower isn't everything.... But the Accord has a Manual, and things like Active noise cancellation. (The website for Canada is still showing 188 hp for the A-Class, with the official 0-60 from Merc being 7.2)

@@Dia1Up The Accord and Camry are boats. These cars are not comparable in any way to the A Class. Someone looking at the A is not looking at an Accord or Camry. Also, hp means nothing. 7.1 is perfectly fine. Mercedes has not always been about hp. The current C180 has 156hp from its 1.6 turbo. The E200 has 185hp from its 2 litre turbo (same engine has 243hp in the E300). The A180d has 106hp. All perfectly adequate. You guys in the US and Canada never get these models. These are Mercedes best selling models. You guys just so happen to get higher engined derivatives as base models because cars and fuel are so cheap there. It's nothing new. In fact the E200 Kompressor from 2002 has about 150hp. The C180 from that time even less. They've always made engines with this hp because it isn't about hp at all. Based on your comment however, this car is clearly not made for the American Market. They should've then just offered you guys the A250 or A220d. Then there's still the A35 and A45. A220 isn't even the base model. It's the A180d with a 1.5 diesel and an A200 with a 1.3 petrol.

Or a Toyota Sienna and it will be more useful.

O what a feeling, Toyota.... I remember those old school commercials.

Nice. Both of you.

What is wrong with jumping in a toyota?! Lmao I do it in front of mine, but I just cant stay in the dang air long like they did in the 80s! 😁😉

pelleper yeah does nothing for the vehicle a disgrace

I’d wait for the next Golf R and save some money.

Because for efficiency. This isn't meant for hp and speed. The same engine makes 380hp in the AMG. Meaning this one is very unstressed and reliable. That also means it is better at higher altitudes where a naturally aspirated vehicle loses much more power.

@@SDav21 but I thought the point of the modern day turbo is to produce high hp from a small engine with good fuel economy. Yea so a 180 hp turbo 4 makes no sense. Plus I don't think Mercedes cares much about reliability when designing their vehicles.

@@simoncquach Lol you thought wrong. That's so not the point. Renault makes a 0.9 litre 3 cylinder engine with a turbo. It has 88hp. It was designed to REPLACE the naturally aspirated 1.2 or 1.4 litre engine. So it is smaller in size but produces the same hp as a small engine. You get better torque delivery especially at higher altitudes. The smaller engine is more efficient in the city. The whole point of the modern day turbo is NOT to produce high hp but to comply with European legislation where cars were being taxed on engine size and emissions. Smaller engines means less tax and less emissions. It has nothing to do with hp in such models. The turbo only really plays into hp for high performance models like the amg ones where they need the performance but large engines won't do because of taxes and emissions laws. Mercedes does build for reliability since their cars are used as taxis and emergency vehicles in Europe and in some countries in Africa. No one is stupid enough to build unreliable vehicles. They know it'll ruin the brand. No one can be made happy clearly. If this had a 2 litre from Toyota in it, everyone would throw their hands in the air about how shitty slow and lethargic and old fashioned it is. Because how dare a Mercedes be that way right? So they give more advanced engines which went under similarly advanced testing with their massive R&D budget. So please. Rethink what you think turbos are used for. It's not just one application and the goal isn't just more hp. A normal 2 litre with this hp would be very high revving but make very little torque making it less driveable and less efficient. Thus a turbo.

@@SDav21 your trying to damage control to hard. Mercedes has a reputation of unreliability and expensive repairs. This reputation didnt form overnight but after many years.

People want the badge of a Merc

@@dontelindsey5846 Then they are douchebags

If someone wants this size car why should they settle for an outdated car like a Corolla with zero technology, poor attention to detail, zero performance and an overall bland experience. If people just bought what they NEED, then we shouldn't have Lamborghinis it Rolls Royces or any car of substance and fun for that fact.

Sarcasm people.... cars evoke an emotion. And obviously this car is not for me. Does nothing. But for that someone it does. And Lamborghini is emotion, think Aston Martin is the most beautiful vehicles made.

It’s because they’re a mile above sea level. This actually affects a lot more that you would think. Factory time is 7.1sec 0-60. I think if you install a chip tune you should be able to do 0-60 easily under 7sec.

The same engine makes 380hp in the amg. So.

SDav21 Maybe it’s the same engine block but I don’t think it has all the same turbos and heads than the AMG. I also meant chip tuning if that guy got only 20-30 extra hp from that golf, I don’t think you could get much more than maybe 220hp from the merc.

Panji 95 very true. And it has a small engine

YOU CAN TURN IT OFF.

@@SDav21 then it's a waste of money.

@@nicholassmith7048 How is having options a waste of money?

And an Infiniti Q50 for that price.

It would make sense if they sold it with a Hatchback and the price isn't going to bankrupt me to hell

@@1985toyotacamry You can get a base 1.3 with 134 bhp in a hatchback for around $25,000. (in Europe). 0-60 in 9.2 seconds but it's a manual transmission.

But then you’re in Europe. Isn’t that the problem?

That is very very common. 30k actually is considered entry-level these days

Mister Ray fastest depreciating car company ever

people just love hating on German cars

Let me clear it up for you. From lowest to highest, it's A,B,C,E,S classes. They are the last letter in SUVs and EQ cars (GLE, EQC) or the first or sole letter in other cars (SLC, E) Now that we have the classes out of the way, other letters denote different versions of the class. Adding "GL" as a prefix means it is an SUV. Adding "CL" means it is a "coupe like" sedan. "EQ" prefix means electric. There is no prefix for electric SUVs. Exceptions to this rule on current production models are the G, SL, and GT cars, which have names too meaningful to change to the structured nomenclature. The numbers at the end are constantly changing and confusing. 2 numbers means AMG, and 3 is regular. The higher the number, the more power there is. A 43 engine is an AMG tuned regular V6 or I6, and is not hand made. The 45 is the insanely powerful 4 banger that is a V8 cut in half. The 63 is the current most powerful V8. Soon, there will be 55 and 73 models. An S at the end of the numbers means it's a higher performance variant. As for the 3 digit numbers, they make very little sense. Anything below 350 is a 4 cyl, anything above or at 500 is a v8.

@@keon5779 They have a lot of models.

Jimmy John is a dick.

Ford Fusion is far better.

It's not slow it's adequate. It's clear that these cars are not meant for Americans because there's very little you guys know about these brands. They're not about hp and rear wheel drive. The current C180 has 156hp. The E200 has 185hp. The 180d diesel has 106hp. All perfectly adequate and the best selling models in other parts of the world. These are all models you do not get. But those models are Mercedes bread and butter everywhere else in the world. Americans are just used to faster because fuel is so damn cheap like water and cars too are inexpensive meaning you guys get to have the much higher powered versions as base models. The base model CLA is a 1.5 diesel and a 1.3 turbo petrol with 106hp and 160hp respectively. So, this cars is not slow. Americans just don't know anything other than their own little bubble they think they live in.

Wow its front wheel drive? Oh shit now its even worse then I thought, lol! What a pile!

@@timothycc711 The A Class has BEEN front wheel drive since 1998 when it came out. Nothing new. I guess then, by your logic, all front wheel drive cars are piles of junk.

Yeah but does it get 35 mpg

Because you're the knower of all things Mercedes?

@@SDav21 ask anyone that owned one.. I said owned not leased.. and they will tell ya how junky they are

@@JOHNJ0HN9111 Yes we own 2. One is a 2004 C220 Cdi with 300,000kms and drives like new and is cheap to maintain. Don't blame Mercedes for American's inability to properly look after and service a proper vehicle. Stick to your old fashioned outdated Corollas that's all you know how to fix. Leave the advanced to other parts of the world.

@@SDav21 so that's about 180,000 american miles.... about ready for the junk yard... sure i'll take a corolla cause i can make a million miles on it... sorry but all toyota's can go a million miles...

@@JOHNJ0HN9111 Like I said. It still looks and drives like brand new. They do a million miles too but they do it comfortably and with technology well ahead of their time. Back then Toyota didn't even know what automatic lights were or safety. It is still drives and goes better than brand new toyotas. Take your shit box Corolla to the junk yard. It's where all toyotas end up anyway. No one ever said their dream is to own a Toyota.

Have you ever owned one. I have and I find them very reliable. I also take care and service them when required.
