Everytime my girlfriend calls me and tell me there a spider in the house and to come and kill it, i go to look at it and say "just look at it sat there, the presence" while shes panicking
Archie, dont spend money wrapping it 5 times and stupid loud exhausts! Get some track pads, cup 2 tyres (or equiv) and spend that money on track days! You have a wealth of racing knowledge, share it! Go to all the uk circuits and explain how to drive them in a hot hatch. That would be a million times better than talking about wraps, it being "sat there" and all the bs every car YT'er does!
It's the tried and tested YT BS that pays the bills. He's dad pulled the plug on funding his racing years ago and Archie is not that inclined to risk his own money. So, sadly he's another ex racing driver that will be dining out on that story forever. Shame.
@@tracktimevideos5164 Manual or auto makes no difference. Its about lines, braking points, speed traps. Anyone who's actually been on track or knows how to drive a manual properly would never put a comment like that. Learn to drive, then feel free to comment something useful.
Nice motor but I’m sorry, car prices have just gone mental and out of reach of the every man. That’s priced about £20k above what it’s actually worth as a car and all the other hot hatches from the major manufacturers are priced equally ridiculously.
wait for a while probably be worth half the price in a few years 2nd hand if you don't mind being the 2nd or 3rd owner plus you won't take the hit in the wallet the 1st owner had
I don’t get it, hot hatches we’re supposed to be about cheap(ish) fun and still practical for every day. Yet now hot hatches are average £30k at least when you can buy a lower spec coupe/convertible that is nicer
Saw this car for sale on autotrader for around 45-46k... Madd money for essentially a suped up A-class hatchback... Should have waited for the 45 but when you have the ytub money why not eh?
How do you get the rims like that without that silver Mercedes ring around them? Is it an option at Mercedes to get the black rims without the silver thing? Has the silver around the rims been painted black?
Hope you didn't actually pay 46-47k Archie you can get one identical spec as yours at Mercedes Benz Leeds @ £34,990 with only 151 miles on it.. obv just pre registered. *I expect you got similar deal but at least tell us that rather than giving rrp 'Although rrp is ****** they giving some great deals, this was only *******'
the only thing with a bright yellow car is the cop with his revenue speed camera can see you a mile away..safe colour at night for other drivers thou...I've got 45 17 model and it's a great car love it
I drove one of them without the wing on a test drive on an Autobahn and at around 125mph on gentle bends (that can be taken EASILY at 135mph in my S-Class) felt very unstable at 125mph. I wonder how much more stability that wing gives. Even though it's not going to offer proper downforce, it might offer more stability.
I also love A35 (especially sedan model) but why you said its much better than RS3? You mean as a daily and a car for everything with bigger trunk etc or sth different?
I feel these manufactures have completely lost the plot, 40k+ for a hot hatch not so long ago they were nearly half that when will these crazy prices stop?
@@butchmeister80 yeh i fully get that, but hot hatches were originally for your average working person looking for something sporty/fun at affordable price which they just arent anymore. just my opinion ofc
People aren't buying cars outright nowadays, finance has pushed the prices up because your average worker who is a petrol head will pay the 400 odd a month for cars like this. And the interior is just as nice as a 80k saloon
Archie. Where did you get your wheels painted? I have the same issue. I hate the line around the rims. Appreciate if you could provide the name of the place you did it. Cheers
He was actually just rambling repeating himself telling us how much he loves his car he didn’t even drive it once in the video left the car in comfort such a boring video 🤧
Love how this car is almost identical mpg to what I get in my fiesta ST yet this would walk all over my car 😂😂however you could get 4 of my cars for the price of this
'How much it cost' it didn't cost you anything but the long term rental price :/ Its not yours Archie. Still love your vids and your channel though. P.s. I watched your race live and well done on the race and that girl who forced her car into you needs her arse kicking.
47k for the A35 - mental money! Unless the PCP deals on these are cheap (which they are usually not due to the shocking depreciation on Mercs) then they wont sell many. And why on earth would anyone buy when 2 better models are coming in the form of the A45 and A45S.....
Thats got a slightly bigger tank than my 2018 A200 AMG Line costs me £60 from fumes and i mean dregs i nearly ran outta fuel 2 weeks after i for it pushed the gauge to far lol just made it.
