In this episode of Throttle House, we dive into the Mercedes AMG cla45s, a true pocket rocket packing a punch with 416 horsepower and 369 lb F of torque. This car, equipped with formatic plus all-wheel drive, is a fierce competitor in its class, challenging the likes of the RS3 and m235. With a starting price of $74,000 in Canada, this beast can be specced up to over $90,000, putting it in a league above the M2 and ct4v black wing. The hosts take a deep dive into the design, interior, and driving experience of the cla45s, praising its sporty aesthetics, solid build quality, and stiff yet exhilarating ride.
As the hosts hit the road, they are impressed by the car's performance, transmission, and playful handling, drawing favorable comparisons to the C63. Despite its hefty price tag, the cla45s proves to be a thrilling ride, especially in Sport Plus mode where it truly shines. However, the team expresses some reservations about the car's value proposition when stacked against fierce rivals like the RS3 and M3. While they appreciate the car's fun factor and engaging driving dynamics, they ultimately question if it's worth the premium over other options in its segment.
In the end, the Throttle House hosts find themselves torn between admiration for the Mercedes AMG cla45s and the practicality of choosing other high-performance vehicles in its class. With a nod to its impressive power and handling, they acknowledge that the car may not be the top choice for enthusiasts seeking the best bang for their buck. Despite its undeniable appeal and spirited driving experience, the cla45s faces stiff competition from established contenders like the RS3 and M3, leaving the hosts to ponder whether this pocket rocket truly stands out in a crowded field of high-performance machines.
