I don't think I'd ever buy the a class

I have a thing about cars where i feel like the bottom of the line of a luxury brand is gonna be worse for the price than a comparable high spec car from a non luxury brand

Funny, that is basically what reviewers say about the a class.

That a fusion sport or camry xle is a better deal and just as nice

the rest of mercedes lineup pretty much is rwd or awd and uses longitudinal engine mounting which I generally trust more anyway, it seems like the a class is a faux benz

I could swear the A class is a leftover from the FCA mercedes merger and is actually on the dart platform.

Dont quote me on that tho

I dunno, the a45 is impressive and it would surprise me if the dart platform allowed for such a machine on it

but I still wouldn't buy one

Stick some bracing and suspension upgrades on a dart and it will do fairly well. Shitty original platfirm notwithstanding. Tho i could be wrong.

I hear the A45 has hellacious potential for serious tuners tho, thanks to the engine's damn near indestructible internals

I've only seen ~450ish, I'm not sure if that's due to engine limitation, drivetrain or both

it isn't that cheap to get that power either, but I guess considering rrp that's not surprising

haha

wtf

it seems kinda...

stupid

like if you just want to blind buy cars and pick them up, ebay does it, if you want to take cars for test drives and stuff then you kinda need to actually take it out

7 days, next time I visit the US I might just "buy" a car and return it after using it as a rental

but not as light

or as good

also it doesn't really surprise me that a convertible underpinning ends up very stiff when a fixed roof is added

That's very woke
