"The suspension is a little bit harsh, but I don't care cause I like to party." Car reviewer Comment of the Year!! (has a Hot Rod [the movie] vibe to it)
Come to Canada! We get the AMG A35 Hatch - maybe not 382hp, but 302hp, awd, and a lower center of gravity. Top that off with 200kg (444lbs) lighter. Spells fun to me.
Sarah, please call your Grandma’s car “Miss ( grandma’s first name )” It would be a fitting tribute and we all would remember her every time you mentioned it.
You're supposed to use a vacuum extractor for the oil, most Mercedes have a top mounted oil filter. Much easier than draining the sump from underneath.
Sometimes, it must be difficult to muster the motivation create, edit, and upload a video on an average car. Today is the review that it looks like it wasn't difficult at all. Excellent review, and a really cool car!
As always, your reviews are fun! And they always share a lot about what you are reviewing in your very own personable way! I know if I watch a review by Sarah I will be smiling!
I have the 2016 version of this, big wing, drivers package. I keep getting emails from the Mercedes dealership asking if I want to sell it. They say they are too hard to get and keep in stock. I love driving mine. A very fun little car. And that year, 2016, looks smaller than the more recent models. It has been on the race track a couple of times. Lots of fun doing that.
I'm nerding out on that bottom facing cooler. I can see that front lip causing turbulence to bounce air off the pavement and back up. It's giving me so many ideas on revamping my cooling setup.
Soft and fluffy. great colour combination, sky scraper heels, Oktoberfest themed blouse, Sarah!! just wow! Please somebody in Arizona lend Sarah a Tesla model S to test!
Wow, what a cool car! 27psi is nuts on the turbo. I remember playing around with Eagle Talons 20 years ago and to get 20psi without blowing the motor wasn't easy. Nice outfit too with the heels! :)
I think they should croud Fund a "buy Sarah a AMG Hot hatch" fund. See how much we could all raise. Because You Really seem to like this. And You look perfectly at home in it !
From Sarah's glow, this car is so absolutely euphoria induceing, I think it broke Sarah's measurement-o-mometer. The smiles and compliment f bombs were on fleek! I want to see the unbroken brain scores and unplugged blooper/drives in Mexico reel!
I agree, the bean scores tend to be questionable at best. Just from the video experience alone and the fact its pushing almost 400hp and shifts like a rocket it should be at least 4 beans
That surprised me at first (several vehicle reviews ago) but then I realized *Sarah's Bean Score* is scaled on the honest and unbiased data that her *Ass Dyno* registers (and there are a lot of cars that are WAY FASTER than this one)...
If you look at some of Sarah’s early car reviews, you’ll see her driving tuned cars with something like 1000 HP. No stock vehicle will ever hit 5 beans on Sarah’s scale. I can usually guess her bean score in advance, so Sarah’s being consistent, at least in my view.
I feel like an AMG is only sleeper to non car people. I have a feeling most of the people watching your stuff know AMG is the real deal. Great review as always!
Lots of fun in this review. One thing I don’t get. For the prices of some of these luxury brands, seat cooling ventilation (butt-sweat eliminators) ought to be included with the heated seats option for those people living in hot climates!
I miss my 04 Forrester XT so when I watch you get this excited over its performance owning Mr. ForrestGump I know this thing is fun. With this brand I'd say lease rather than buy. 🐧🐧🐧🐧
I should bring my twisted 08 Acura RDX for you to play with. It does that lovely AWD hop at launch. I'd love to see the look on your face when getting the baked beans.
I purchase high performance SUV's because i have a sharp angle from driveway to garage. Some people need the ground clearance. When i first bought this house i had an Audi RS7, near tore the front bumper of it getting into the garages......
Love your work. I've come across a few cars with quad exhausts that are slower than a glacier, but the AMG badge does make me pay attention. But not all cars with AMG badges are quick. There's a beautiful E500 AMG convertible that lives maybe 400 metres down the road from me. The AMG just means that it has an AMG appearance pack. It's still a lovely car. My next-door neighbour has an AMG A 45 and it's hot.
I know this is irrelevant, but had never seen you in heels, nice outfit. On a separate note, love your passion for what you do and sharing your knowledge with us.
14:30 “… looks like a crossover but not much different than a hatchback …” Think of it in the terms of a Subaru Impreza hatch and a Crosstrek. Same car basically but the Crosstrek has more ground clearance.
The Toyota RAV4 Prime is the ultimate sleeper this year, IMO. Nobody expects a RAV4 to be quick. With AMGs, giddyup is kind of expected. I also prefer having a sunroof...if I'm not in a convertible like one of my Jeeps.
Sarah, I beg of you...start doing a 0-60-0 accel/brake test--- for the performance cars, at least. would love to see and track and compare those numbers
Forresters are cool. I have a 2022 GLA 35. It's hilarious. I had some great guys tune her ( her name is Stella ). Great channel. I love your c9ntent and your personality that u bring. Best of Luck!
One thing I’ve taken from this, you really enjoy Mercedes👍👏 happy for that, but of course this model is cute to us Benz enthusiasts, they were doing that 0-60 18 years ago in a 4600 pound house of an SL55:).. Lol
Nice to see you pleasantly surprised by a car. I too thought that the three bean rating was a tad shy, but ok. I was thinking four beans based on your reactions.
Not seen one of the GLA45 models as yet, but I do see quite a few of the A45 cars around here (Nottingham, UK) and they are pretty nice, especially in the dark metallic grey.
They will never place specific brand on roll over pic. If they do it the message will be "Mercedes can roll over". If they do generic pic it says "hot hatch or suv's are higher rollover risk"
As hard as I try, I just can't seem to figure out the SSS (Sarah Score System), particularly the BSA (Bean Score Assessment). You'll rave and be all excited about the engine's power, yet only give a 3.5 BSA, how is this car not in the 4's. What's it take to get a perfect 5? The CSA and PSA seemed in line with the excitement of the review.
With the exception of the infotainment area in the old gla45 I love those so much and they are a hot hatch. This one is sweet, especially on the inside, but wish the nose was a bit sleeker.
Hi Sarah, 'nother great car view with all the usual fun n info, live the picture in picture stuff, adds yet another well thought out element to your brilliant videos. P. S. Lovely final score location.

Wait til JRgo gets his garages in gear were gonna see some serious shoot. Out there.....
Few cars have pulled as many smiles out of Sarah as this one.
Totally. At least 50% of the reason to enjoy this vid. Also - super classy, fun outfit! 🥰
It is dog with out a collar!
The horsepower numbers are INSANE for a 4 cylinder. I think we know Sarah really really likes this car.
Sarah never seen such a big smile filled with so much joy and satisfaction on your face before !!!
Bendmac that’s what you call an Orgasm.

I legit want the GLB version of this car. I'm always so impressed when seeing reviews of these and love the shape of the GLB.
I wish they would make a GLB45. Would have been on it quick. Instead, got this one, still fun.
Sometimes, it must be difficult to muster the motivation create, edit, and upload a video on an average car. Today is the review that it looks like it wasn't difficult at all. Excellent review, and a really cool car!
"I broke my brain" we should all have a broken brain like yours, Sarah.
As always entertaining. Thanks.
Sarah I don’t even have a brain and I think I broke mine also. What a mini-suv/hottest hatch ever!!
Mercedes knows how to soup up all their models in a first class way.
As always, your reviews are fun! And they always share a lot about what you are reviewing in your very own personable way! I know if I watch a review by Sarah I will be smiling!

Came for the review, stayed for The Sarah.
Seriously , whos lookin at the car. Vavavavooooom!
*ROCKET BUBBLE ACTIVATED*
I wasn't really interested in this vehicle but gave it a chance to see what Sarah would do. So glad I did, love the humor and enthusiasm Sarah!
I love the random stuff Sarah notices. That and the pronunciation of butt-un.
Random is her middle name .
That ambient lighting is sick!
Yes, the signature Sarah seat bolster move!!! Even without much bolstering it makes the car review.
Soft and fluffy. great colour combination, sky scraper heels, Oktoberfest themed blouse, Sarah!! just wow! Please somebody in Arizona lend Sarah a Tesla model S to test!
Wow I wasn't expecting a video this soon with all your other projects going on....your awesome!!!
My absolute favorite review feature is the braking test. The hair and the Ooooooooo face. I love it.
2 liter turbo with 382 horsepower...Wow! Great sound to it. Kudo's to Guido's hand building!
Wow, what a cool car! 27psi is nuts on the turbo. I remember playing around with Eagle Talons 20 years ago and to get 20psi without blowing the motor wasn't easy. Nice outfit too with the heels! :)
Stock turbocoupe 2.3s will eat 25 to 30
I think they should croud Fund a "buy Sarah a AMG Hot hatch" fund. See how much we could all raise. Because You Really seem to like this. And You look perfectly at home in it !
Appreciate you putting l/100km as well as mpg on screen.
From Sarah's glow, this car is so absolutely euphoria induceing, I think it broke Sarah's measurement-o-mometer. The smiles and compliment f bombs were on fleek! I want to see the unbroken brain scores and unplugged blooper/drives in Mexico reel!
I like your sense of fashion, I like the do too. The car, redo the exhaust tips?
That's crazy amounts of power from a 2l and to find it in a suv. Great review 👍.
Very unique approach to car reviews.
That's great it gives you a smile! My Accord coupe manual did the same! Spare yourself the headache in repairs and keep the Forrester. :)
Based on your reactions while driving, I was expecting more than just 3 beans.
I agree, the bean scores tend to be questionable at best. Just from the video experience alone and the fact its pushing almost 400hp and shifts like a rocket it should be at least 4 beans
@@Mach141 I felt at least 4 beans just sitting here, LOL

@@gregholloway2656 I agree & thanks for pointing that out before I did!
MOAR PENGINS!!!
Watching you nerd out over this car was awesome.
That THING handles like a magnet. So AWESOME.
How did we survive the 70s without an infotainment system and ambient mood lighting in my Malibu Laguna??
With the safety record of any car from the 70s, be thankful you survived at all!
Thank you for being alive..... 🙂
One of your best. I'm smiling as much as you and I don't particularly like Mercedes. Just love you!
" if you haven't noticed I'm kinda of sasquatch " it's okay I've got that gene myself, no heels required
What a cute little Merc! Great video (and I love that outfit!!) as usual!!
I feel like an AMG is only sleeper to non car people. I have a feeling most of the people watching your stuff know AMG is the real deal. Great review as always!
Sarah is the hardest working woman on youtube Thanks for another great video.
This is an amazing off-the-shelf hillclimb machine. Imagine attacking Mt Lemmon in one of these!
@15:50 i actually paused the video just to say out loud: "THAT'S BADASS!"
Time to reward yourself for all your hard work!!! Do it you've earned it⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You're right. That AMG Mercedes GLA gave YOU the beans, Sarah.
As the weather gets hot so do the outfits. I like.
Those legs! Oh my.
@@jessielivermore1826 Yup....Heels included!
You must be new here
Chill
I maybe wrong, but I believe this is the happiest I've seen you driving a car and popping the hood.
Lots of fun in this review. One thing I don’t get. For the prices of some of these luxury brands, seat cooling ventilation (butt-sweat eliminators) ought to be included with the heated seats option for those people living in hot climates!
Happy Tuesday Sarah!!!
As per usual, have to watch later....Like but in engaged!!😁
Stay excellent!!
That ambient lighting has me sold
Sarah went straight geek mode love it
Would be so cool if the ambient lighting represented the revs for shift points.
Never seen Sarah smile so much road testing a car!!!
I miss my 04 Forrester XT so when I watch you get this excited over its performance owning Mr. ForrestGump I know this thing is fun. With this brand I'd say lease rather than buy. 🐧🐧🐧🐧
VERY impressive for any 4cyl Car!!! Out of our range, but I did buy my Wife a Nissan Murano, with 3.5L V6 CVT that absolutely SCOOTS!!
Have a 2018 love it. Ultimate hot hatch sleeper car. Love the new interior of this model but like the exhaust and exterior smaller size of the 2018.
Love watching you and all your reviews always makes my day. Your knowledge of all the details is impressive .
You are simply the best Sarah.
It would be nice if you could get your hands on a Porsche Macan S to do a back to back compare. That's a hot seller for them right now.. Great Review!
I should bring my twisted 08 Acura RDX for you to play with. It does that lovely AWD hop at launch. I'd love to see the look on your face when getting the baked beans.

0:57 - The highest HP 4 cylinder production vehicle is its hot hatch "brother", the AMG A45S (421hp).
I love the new front face on these, and it's like a lifted luxury Mitsu Evo.
Love your work. I've come across a few cars with quad exhausts that are slower than a glacier, but the AMG badge does make me pay attention. But not all cars with AMG badges are quick.

Sarah, you give great car reviews. Well done here, fun review and give a nice sense for the sprit of the car.
We have a GLS 550 and LOVE the thing. This GLA looks awesome!
Your reaction makes me now love and respect this car.
Yes, we enjoyed the video as much as you did making it....!
Lots of smiles here to. Nice review.
I know this is irrelevant, but had never seen you in heels, nice outfit.
On a separate note, love your passion for what you do and sharing your knowledge with us.
imo either needs to be dropped down just a little, or needs a bit more rubber (45 series instead of 40) to fill in those wells.
14:30 “… looks like a crossover but not much different than a hatchback …” Think of it in the terms of a Subaru Impreza hatch and a Crosstrek. Same car basically but the Crosstrek has more ground clearance.
I like to party. 😂. Great video
The Toyota RAV4 Prime is the ultimate sleeper this year, IMO. Nobody expects a RAV4 to be quick. With AMGs, giddyup is kind of expected.
I also prefer having a sunroof...if I'm not in a convertible like one of my Jeeps.
The Best or Nothing.
Mercedes-Benz
WOW that thing is as much as my E class. I'm very jealous.
Sarah, I beg of you...start doing a 0-60-0 accel/brake test--- for the performance cars, at least.
would love to see and track and compare those numbers
It’s too much work, maybe one day if I ever get an actual assistant.
@@SarahnTuned Wasn't that supposed to be little sis? :) Even on-screen times with an accelerometer thing like TFL uses would be neat.
Nail on the small crossovers. I don't get how Mercedes Benz' decision such ending their relationship with Renault Nissan & Mitsubishi alliance.
what an odd looking vehicle the grill is huge. but it sounds awesome and from your reaction it seems to be allot of fun! great vid! great review!
Forresters are cool. I have a 2022 GLA 35. It's hilarious. I had some great guys tune her ( her name is Stella ).
Great channel. I love your c9ntent and your personality that u bring. Best of Luck!
Great video Sarah. You scored the car with various ratings. You look super. I give you 5 stars.❣️💓😘🌹🌹
Dual clutch gives a clutch to 1 and 3 and so on….that gives you that linear power
One thing I’ve taken from this, you really enjoy Mercedes👍👏 happy for that, but of course this model is cute to us Benz enthusiasts, they were doing that 0-60 18 years ago in a 4600 pound house of an SL55:).. Lol
Dig your reviews Ms. Sasquatch. Bubble rocket put another smile on your face! 😁
I still love your review video of the RAM 1500 TRX. I think you almost had a beautiful smile thru the whole video. Love your beans.
What a fun review. Honest, too. Dankeschön
Smiles for miles! That 400+hp only available in Europe made me salty though...
Holy crap! I want one, and the car too.
Nice to see you pleasantly surprised by a car. I too thought that the three bean rating was a tad shy, but ok. I was thinking four beans based on your reactions.

Maybe I'm crazy but I firmly believe a Porsche hot hatch would be epic.
OMG! Car is a beast! Yes, fellow boosted Forrester owner. I love my forester but am well aware this would probably also spoil me!
Yes Sarah! Great review in your inimitable style. You really shone on this one 😃
Hi Sarah, 'nother great car view with all the usual fun n info, live the picture in picture stuff, adds yet another well thought out element to your brilliant videos.
P. S. Lovely final score location.
I wish the GLC 43 I have coming next month came in this shade of “denim blue”. I’ll have to settle with the “Lunar Blue”.
SARAH!!!!!
With 27.5 PSI of boost, I’d go for the extended warranty.
