Leap into the future

The interior of the new Mercedes class A they are great: modern, clean and very neat. There may be too many buttons (even on the steering wheel) and it takes a while to learn how to navigate, but once you've got a little dexterity, you'll find an amazing level of customization.

If not for the comfortable seats with a good profile, 35 AMG what I drive could be quiet version 1.3. There's an AMG lettering on the steering wheel, okay, but it doesn't say much that I'm driving an evil version. But I am sure that in the additional list we will be able to decorate the interior more racing.

Stepping out of the curve instead granite draft and it is almost impossible to oversteer, not least because no self-locking differential, neither in the front (like the restyled A45) nor in the back.

I was hoping to improve the switching logic. Used in manual mode, 7G AMG Speedshift 7-Speed ​​Gearbox he is quite fast when upshifting and quite physical, but very often disobedient when climbing. In a nutshell: the gearbox is not behind the car, so I often find myself in corners with an unwanted gear. This is not very pleasant, especially if you are looking for a "shot" from a tight corner.

CONCLUSIONS

Compared to the "old" A 45, the new Mercedes AMG A35 it is more responsive, has more precise steering and more responsive throttle response. Straight roads feel a little longer, but when cornering, more precise suspension tuning and instant throttle response make it more interactive and fun.
