SUPER FUN! 2020 Mercedes-AMG CLA45 Review 

These superhotfire shirts are only available until Dec 31 and then THEY ARE GONE FOREVER! teespring.com/stores/thestraightpipes

The amount of power these 4cyls are pushing out is insane

After three years of asking these things, in 2020 you finally reviewed a Ferrari and put Nm figures for the torque😍

I like that yuri has the same facial expression now as he did back in the 35 when toggling the pumped in audio😂

The front looks like The GT Coupe 4 door. ... Which could either be good or bad depending which one of them you have.

did I just hear synthwave from the intro? 💜

The way that intro was edited and the soundtrack was coordinated with the exhaust and engine sounds was particularly satisfying

God bless you guys for showing NMs of torque!

basically this 4-cylinder makes the same amount of power as the V8s in the CL550, S550 etc. from 10-15 years ago 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.

I remember when these used to be the "cheap Merc", now they are $70k 💀

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. 👍

I'm 5'11, my dreams of becoming a straight pipe are still in reach!!

One of the best introduction till date in your channel in terms of aesthetics..

One of my favorite cars! It's insane the power those motors can make.

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this over the other two: RS3: Fastest straight line acceleration, nice gauge screen, super awkwardly small info screen, outdated exterior.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

That editing in the intro was amazing

Its 5 am and I've never clicked so fast on a video

The way it RIPS through first and second so quick is absolutely BERZERK!!!!!

I see thestraightpipes review amg I click

Anyone: hey this is a pretty cool ca- Jakub: did I mention that now I have an iPhone????

This thing has amazing power for its engine size and it actually sounds good. Price isn’t bad either I might actually get this 😅

Pumped in audio.... Stoopid.

One of the Top three best looking merc of the new generation

I bet it was throttle house that messed up the USB port 😂😂 I’m playing love both of you

6:21 Yuri’s hair becomes super saiyan as he enters the drivers seat.

Unfortunately I think vb77 Botta needs racestart[tm].

I have got a CLA Shooting Brake 45s and it’s insane. I love my car.

Jakub is like anti-Doug underestimating his height

Guys i love your content . You help people choose their car GOD BLESS YOU MAN........

i love that Mercedes specifically chooses HP output numbers that reference past cars. The old V8 used to put down 382!

Myself growing up in bush in B.C. instantly understanding what a dart is lol, don’t smoke but these guys are homies

This is a lot quicker than I thought it would be

Been waiting for this one, thanks! 🙌🏽

One of the best intros I’ve seen in any video ever

Man! you guys really have fun doing this together ! Great job guys! I really enjoy watching your videos

Great that Mercedes has finally released a rival to the class leader, the Fiat Croma.

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

Love how they both got t-shirts on in the middle of December in Ontario

"Dont think about random stuff, get into computer programming" - LMAOOOOOO. 3 years later, Hellllooooo Ai

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

Can't believe how many videos you guys are pumping out in December. Nuts.

OMG THANK YOU FOR PUTTING NM FOR TORQUE

I was waiting for the box and visor test... and the video was over 😂 Those quirky reviews got me haha

these sick beats at the beginning of every video, can't get enough of them

"I'm Jakub, I'm Yuri and we're going for a drive" simply makes my day every time 🌞

If that wasn't pumped in sound I would be impressed

Spilled melted ice cream over the USB port in my G20 3 Series ...I can confirm it is indeed waterproof. 👍🏽 :)

Intros are getting better boys

Yuri's driving skills have gotten so much better over the years!

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

Not all AMG's look the same. Yes, the GT, E, and CLA mirror each other, but in the C63/63S the grille design is flipped and the AMG C43 doesn't even have the Panamericana grille.

I like how the intro song fits well with the car 😃 can you share the link to the song please?

Got my cla last week 🤩

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.

OMG This is my dream car! So happy to see you guys review it. Working hard towards getting this some day!

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.

Damn edition quality in this video is nuts. Keep it up guys 🙌🏻

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

Weekend videos are the best!

I saw one of these in red it was amazing

I mean 382 HP and 480 Nm of torque from a 4-cylinder engine is just nuts, and paired with that 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, that car is just so fast~ Mercedes-AMG knows what they're doing :)

Completely ditched a Throttle House video for this one

This is the car I’m buying next year!! My current dream car

No one gonna talk about jakub straight up pouring water in a USB port

I just watched the first 20 seconds, and I LOVE the new cliché corner shot!

Actually looks nice imo

10:45 Those stripes on the dash are NICE yo!😳👌🏾

Shoutout to Sercan Adıyaman for the engine built

Amazing car!! I have a CLA and I love it! Mercedes interiors are just wow!

Funny enough, I like that this car is a 4-cylinder instead of something bigger. Smaller engines are usually easier to maintain

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

Mercedes: Yes I'm front wheel drive Yes I'm rear wheel drive Yes we exist

Been waiting for this for so long AND THET DID IT AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING

Whole industry is heading towards computer programming i feel it dude , i am studing same stuffbut howndo you know about it

The reason these cars are so quiet from the outside is due to new emission regulations. The CLA45 does pump exhaust noise through the audio however it's not fake noise, it takes actual noise from the exhaust and amplifies that through the stereo which is why it sounds better than the CLA35 which is artificial noise.

They pump some sound in the audio so you dont hear the dash crack

Jim Halpert and Dwight schrute when they leave the office 😂

SERCAN ADYAMAN (MOTOR MÜHENDİSİ))

I had to pause the video just to say that intro was so dope

You shouldn't be calling out German engineers that specifically, he's probably now been dragged outside and shot.

Mom: don’t touch anything! Me: 1:50

Yeeeessss finally!!

i waited so much for this review great job guys

I love these but I’d still take an Audi RS3 over it anyday of the week👌🏽

In 5/6 months I'll have mine, coming back for reference!

Wehee Notification gang where you at ?

I've been digging the new HP and Torque animations.

80k?! Holy for just cla xD

Such great production quality, espcially in the intro. Nice!

6’4”?! No wonder he never fits in the back seats!

Man that intro!❤️❤️

The best review car channel!!!!!!!

Finally a real AMG car. No more 35, 45, 53 bullshit

@TheStraightPipes do a tier list on your fav cars you have reviewed so far from a single brand

Nice, been waiting for this one! :)

Love the Mini CLS

Straightpipes: USB charger is fried, what's up with that? Automotive journalists: pours liquids into USB port.

That intro thoughh 👌

I just ordered this same spec CLA45 !
