Do u have the Renault Megane 4 Rs 280 edc in Canada ? Will u ever get to drive that ? It’s amazing ! I have one and let me tell u it’s amazing ! I’ve driven rs3 it’s not good for daily driving and it’s kinda laggy and I love audis. When I test drove the Megane Rs , it’s better and a different machine in the corners than the rs3 and the Audi understeers like hell. I love audis but the Megane Rs is soo good. I’ve ppl test drived it, u know what I mean. But since ppl watch who lives in the USA ... I hope u get to test drive it once u go on some holiday vacation lol
New C63 will go in 3.1 sec to 60 mp/h..
Yo that drifting was EPIC!!
@@car-enthusiast3141 LOL
@@philauguste7310 im bored
The amount of power these 4cyls are pushing out is insane
Better than any japan car ever
@@markoblagojevic56 until they inevitably break with double the service costs lol. Unless you live a very frivolous lifestyle (or just really enjoy having German cars, nothing wrong with that), most people should just stick to American and Japanese cars.
@@markoblagojevic56 ok Mitsubishi built Evo FQ400 special edition for UK with 405hp 15years ago.
What’s funny is that Hondas motorcycle division makes a 999cc engine pushing 250hp but their car division can’t make a damn sports car
@@weasle2904 never saw new mercs with MBUX break. Will se in 10 years, i bet they better quality
did I just hear synthwave from the intro? 💜
Yuppp
what's the music name
@@mac7439 Disco Ball - Leal
Hell yeah!
I like that yuri has the same facial expression now as he did back in the 35 when toggling the pumped in audio😂
Haha yup
Was just going to comment this😂
idk why i find this so funnny omg
exact same face 😂
Nothing beats his facial expressions on that E63S. That was every guy’s expression when we drive one.
After three years of asking these things, in 2020 you finally reviewed a Ferrari and put Nm figures for the torque😍
Subscribe for more NM
@@TheStraightPipes thank you for NMs, ive been begging you for years lmao. It was so tiring having to go convert it myself everytime on google.
KW with HP would be nice too
Nmbl finally, attention to detail like that is why it's worth subscribing
@@adamneujahr7051 now you’re getting greedy 😂
The way that intro was edited and the soundtrack was coordinated with the exhaust and engine sounds was particularly satisfying
The front looks like The GT Coupe 4 door. ...
Which could either be good or bad depending which one of them you have.
Lol yeah. Mercedes has made every car look like the a class.
crazy how the cla45 is sub 4 sec 0-100 like the gt63
Exactly, I got this CLA45 and I’m so happy that it’s like a Mini GT :D
@@boyutang6990 congrats 👌🚀
@@senoow4215 with a good launch the GT63S is a sub-3 second car, big difference.
One of my favorite cars! It's insane the power those motors can make.
Man! you guys really have fun doing this together ! Great job guys! I really enjoy watching your videos
One of the best introduction till date in your channel in terms of aesthetics..
basically this 4-cylinder makes the same amount of power as the V8s in the CL550, S550 etc. from 10-15 years ago lol
And more than most 6-cylinders today lol... I don't know if this speaks more for the pride of AMG or to the humiliation of everyone else
crazy really, I think this car overall really puts to bed the argument that "There's no replacement for displacement"
@@Orielparadise There's no replacement for displacement, still.
That's why boats have like 9 liters engines...
@@dimmacommunication they'll have electric hybrid motors soon
@@Orielparadise Displacement gives you a better sound and character
Been waiting for this one, thanks! 🙌🏽
God bless you guys for showing NMs of torque!
ikr, very nice addition
LOOSER!!
no one needs that lol
Something to note here. I've had quite a bit of time in the 45, RS3 and M2. The RS3 can technically be as fast as these cars but it needs 93/94+ octane (in US, this is NOT RON equivalent). 99% of pumps in California are 91 octane. If you put 91 octane in the RS3, it's actually pretty slow. That being said, if 91 octane is all you have, the 45 or M2 will be way faster than the RS3. I dislike how manufacturers are inconsistent with the octane that they use. It's not wrong to say that the RS3 is as fast or faster, but it's also required to use higher octane than its competition as well.
Love the review guys just recently leased one and in the same color which is nice seeing it in video. Helped me understand more of what I’m driving. Thanks guys and great video
Guys i love your content . You help people choose their car
GOD BLESS YOU MAN........
I remember when these used to be the "cheap Merc", now they are $70k 💀
Its 200k in my country
naw normal CLA 250’s are still like 50k they’re pretty cheap, this version is a lot more expensive
You can get a 2016 under 50k miles for 25k they’re cheap
@@Giraffetaint used are cheap to account for the maintenance cost
Yasha extended warranty
That editing in the intro was amazing
Tbh you guys have the best into for any car in the youtube world !!!!! i can really watch all your intros and enjoy all day
i waited so much for this review great job guys
I'm 5'11, my dreams of becoming a straight pipe are still in reach!!
Alright. Ben dover
i love that Mercedes specifically chooses HP output numbers that reference past cars. The old V8 used to put down 382!
Such great production quality, espcially in the intro. Nice!
Been waiting for this for so long AND THET DID IT AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING
I love mine. I got it last June. It’s insane. It’s an STI killer by far. Hats off to Mercedes on the refresh. 👍
What color did you get?
has it been reliable? (I'm asking because so many comments say it will break with all that hp, so thought you'd be in the best position to answer owning one)
@@edombre4637 own one. no problem. The only people I know with problems are the one modding it to 600hp+
Love how they both got t-shirts on in the middle of December in Ontario
I just watched the first 20 seconds, and I LOVE the new cliché corner shot!
I've been digging the new HP and Torque animations.
I bet it was throttle house that messed up the USB port 😂😂 I’m playing love both of you
I’d love to see you guys review the Shelby GT350. And I’d love to see you also drive a 2007-2009 Shelby GT500.
Need that shooting brake in NA! Looks the same going in reverse but that's amazing. We're way too obsessed with crossovers here. Thanks, Germany, for sending the C63 AMG and RS6 Avant o7
I have got a CLA Shooting Brake 45s and it’s insane. I love my car.
6:21 Yuri’s hair becomes super saiyan as he enters the drivers seat.
The way it RIPS through first and second so quick is absolutely BERZERK!!!!!
Liike Guts
SMURF!!
Damn edition quality in this video is nuts. Keep it up guys 🙌🏻
Yuri's driving skills have gotten so much better over the years!
I saw one of these in red it was amazing
OMG THANK YOU FOR PUTTING NM FOR TORQUE
now we just need kW for power
Amazing car!! I have a CLA and I love it! Mercedes interiors are just wow!
is it a amg
Sounds great! That noise would help keep you alert on a long drive better than gas station coffee ever could.
Its 5 am and I've never clicked so fast on a video
Go back to sleep bruh lmao
PUNDAARE!!
This thing has amazing power for its engine size and it actually sounds good. Price isn’t bad either I might actually get this 😅
Get it, i dare you :)
Fake sound, you are actually paying to get this pumped in audio
May just have to buy this car because of how awesome a review you guys made for it 🤔😦🤯
Had a 2014 CLA 45, fun car, dual clutch at that time was ok, not great. This ones seems like a big improvement
One of the best intros I’ve seen in any video ever
Well it is standard on the S version. It sounds quite nice in my A45s, although it is sometimes indeed a bit to much. Many obviously talk shit about it, but with the OPF etc. which is due to the EU emission rules, there is only so much you can do for real noise out of a 2 liter.
They didn’t bother making noise when standing still, like other brands do, like with the new golf R etc. Cause when you floor those, it also turns into a blowing sound and is nothing like the older models. So same goes with the new 45 compared to the old one.
However there are aftermarket exhausts or custom things you can do. Take off the resonator and the pops are more crisp rather than muffled. But if you also bypass the rear muffler, it definitely gets quite a bit louder. Removing the OPF would be better, but in some cases it can give software errors and if you don’t want to lose your warranty straight away, by having to alter the software, it’s not the best thing to do.
My resonator has been removed and I’m going to get a cutoff valve in front of the rear muffler. That way the car sounds louder when the extra valve is open, but when I close it, go back to the sound with the rear muffler. Although many people tell me to just remove the rear muffler all together, I wanna do this mainly because I don’t want to wake up other people and because they are starting to measure sound at some places to give you a fine, when your car is to loud... They even think about taking away your car for a while... So when I go to certain areas or when I see cops, I can close that valve xD
For the rest I really love my car, except for a few details that are really a big fail.
Android auto/apple carplay is a smaller size than the actual screen and can only be used with a wired connection. Which gives you the annoying problem that you can’t place your phone where it is supposed to, due to the cable sticking out in the back... Wireless charging is useless when you want to use apple carplay or android auto, since you have to use the cable anyway. And you can only use the usb port in the front to access those, cause the other usb ports won’t work for that, only for charging... Big design flaw imo
Hows the a45s?
I was waiting for the box and visor test... and the video was over 😂 Those quirky reviews got me haha
For a 4 banger it’s really good and I love that blue on it the price is not bad until you option it out it’s a little much I think pumped in audio is not needed I wish car makers would not do that lol great job on the review as always guys hope all is well
Intros are getting better boys
I chose CLA45 this over the other two:
RS3: Fastest straight line acceleration, nice gauge screen, super awkwardly small info screen, outdated exterior.
M2: Most fun car since it comes with manual and RWD, but I live in Winnipeg so it’s not really ideal/fun, it’s also less practical since rear seats are not very usable, I do think this is the best looking car, if I live in no-snow area I will go with it.
Cla45: better overall car.
Most important reason: my wife said “absolutely no” to the other two and “yes” to CLA45 :D
i experienced the same thing over " our " Gla45 haha !!
I just got this exact car ( no HUD though) but other options, MSRP was 77 and they discounted 11k. You guys are funny, your review of the TRD Pro 4Runner made me buy it, I had already bought my RS3 and Supra before you did your reviews and I was wondering if you were going to do the CLA45...you did, even in Denim Blue! Awesome!
I would love to have the shooting brake here too!! Also, I wish we were getting the upcoming Arteon shooting brake. NA needs more wagon options. So what the majority doesn't care for them. There's enough people that do to at least make it an option for us.
these sick beats at the beginning of every video, can't get enough of them
Seriously the intro music has been amazing lately
This is a lot quicker than I thought it would be
Yeah, that's what she told me!
3:05 nope, it theoretically can send 100% torque to the rear but it still means that front and rear axis are locked. So front wheels still also get 100% torque if they have grip
I agree with you both, I wish mercedes brought their shootingbreaks here to the US. I like them more than sedans for sure. Imagine the new M5 with a hatch. Or an S63 shooting break??
One of the Top three best looking merc of the new generation
Sorry, I don't like the rear, it's too droopy and meak looking.
@@TheBreakfastLover agreed. Shooting Brake is where it's at with these.
I think it's too swoopy and girly for my taste lol
SMURF!!
I see thestraightpipes review amg
I click
The GLA45 Is one of my favorite vehicles. Found a 2015 for 22k. I like the newer dash and grill
Love this car, picked up mine in November!
Jakub is like anti-Doug underestimating his height
I think it was my boots lol
Lol!
SMURF!!
I like how the intro song fits well with the car 😃 can you share the link to the song please?
Intro music: "Johan Borjesson - Expanding"
@@svdarkgrey thank you!
Myself growing up in bush in B.C. instantly understanding what a dart is lol, don’t smoke but these guys are homies
Great video, wow that little thing is such a cool car!!
I love my c63 AMG! Been super reliable and so far in the last few years hasn’t really cost me much beyond basic maintenance and gas (lots and lots of premium) plus my insurance isn’t much at all since I’m older now. But it’s not a car I will keep much longer. I made the mistake of putting 100 K plus miles on a Benz. Shit BLEW UP and I still owed 6 K on it. I upgrade every 75 K miles.
If you have Mercedes Benz that last 75k miles, you are very lucky 🍀. I lease mine and trade every 2.5 years with 22 k miles
@@itguru2037 lol i wanna buy one but im not rich..i want a beautiful one that can last 1 million miles like a 2jz engine
Anyone: hey this is a pretty cool ca-
Jakub: did I mention that now I have an iPhone????
this is honestly the best modern-day review i've ever seen
Weekend videos are the best!
Unfortunately I think vb77 Botta needs racestart[tm].
How’s ur comment been up for 4 days? And don’t worry Valtteri never fails to fuck up starts

@@Theo-lo1yc they’re probably a Patreon supporter. They get episodes early
James will not let 🅱️alterri use the racestart™
@@Theo-lo1yc He's also had some of the fastest starts ever so...no?
So weird after all these years where Canadians ONLY got the “S” version of AMGs, it’s not being offered to us on the GLA or CLA
Us?
@@whitemailprivilege2830 Canadians 🇨🇦
The normal one simply shouldn't exist. The only way it is made is to fill a gap so they can charge higher price for the "S" without looking too expensive from the next model down.
@TheStraightPipes do a tier list on your fav cars you have reviewed so far from a single brand
Nice, been waiting for this one! :)
No one gonna talk about jakub straight up pouring water in a USB port
Actually looks nice imo
10:45
Those stripes on the dash are NICE yo!😳👌🏾
Dope review. Please review the Audi RSQ3 sportback next!
If that wasn't pumped in sound I would be impressed
Same shame manufacturers are lazy by doing this pathetic cheap alternative
F U SMURF!!
@@Gatz22 "lazy by doing this pathetic cheap alternative" You act like they have a choice. Either you get that or nothing. They arent allowed to make the car louder anymore so there isnt rlly a choice..
Still would take the RS3 for the Inline 5 Cylinder. Not to mention that 5 can be tuned and is damn reliable. This Mercedes engine has yet to be proven but with high psi, I don’t expect this to last after the warranty expires
Seriously? Got any idea why merc made this engine ? Do you even know this engine is de-tuned? Do you even know mercedes was originally designing this 4 cyl engine for F1? well do your homework and see what the internals are made of. RS3 engine is no match for this engine.
Not everyone wants to modify the power. I rather keep my warranty and resale value; It voids the warranty and puts more stress on the internals. The RS3 is overpriced and has a terrible interior and exterior (it looks so cheap).
@@tbvjqor123 this engine should last longer yes?
RS3 is overpriced imo. And the mercedes interior just outclasses the rs3.
RS3 is shit and BMWs have shit cheap interior as usual
The review i was asking for
The best review car channel!!!!!!!
Pumped in audio....
Stoopid.
I'd rather have a sound tube for induction noise.
Sounds like shitty car video game, NO ONE asked for this
@Peder Hansen Exactly. "Engine sound is mostly for the occupants, so instead of going with a valve piping real engine sound we synthesized fake overtones".
it is stupid i hate pump in audio
@@lfox02 sound tube is fine, it's like adding an aftermarket intake kind of
Great that Mercedes has finally released a rival to the class leader, the Fiat Croma.
Fiat is no leader
@@SM-1010
You're right, it's a king.
THUNDERPANTS!!
@@CrazyWeeMonkey 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fiat is crap that's why they left north America 🤦🏾♂
@@damiendrew8099 they left North America because there’s already too much crap there… no room for more
In 5/6 months I'll have mine, coming back for reference!
This is the car I’m buying next year!! My current dream car

Yeeeessss finally!!
Completely ditched a Throttle House video for this one
Man these intros are fire!!🔥🔥
Can't believe how many videos you guys are pumping out in December. Nuts.
Tired. Relax in January
@@TheStraightPipes I bet. Just brilliant content lads.
Funny enough, I like that this car is a 4-cylinder instead of something bigger. Smaller engines are usually easier to maintain
A high output, small engine like this would be far from easy to maintain. Nobody is buying this car for easy maintenance anyway.
@@brandonczw only time will tell I guess
When you pop the hood on this bad boy after it leaves you stranded on the highway, you'll see on the engine cover
'Lease Central'
Is joke, don't be mad
@@Patient_Lion_BS nice 😂
I got a 2017 Elantra Sport with the 1.6t and manual, and a nearly 30 year old Chevy pickup with a 350ci/5.7l V8 and automatic transmission, and that truck is way easier to maintain and work on. You don’t need an engineering degree when you pop the hood, while my Elantra has no shortage of wiring going every direction in every nook and cranny 😂
Wehee
Notification gang where you at ?
That shooting break looks great!
Love the review
SERCAN ADYAMAN (MOTOR MÜHENDİSİ))
I was waiting for someone to mention it😂
They pump some sound in the audio so you dont hear the dash crack
Why don't your guys get a race box to do your own testing and comparing. That would be nice.. Great video guys.. Thanks for putting the time in.

I can appreciate how you filmed this video in Germany during Summer .
