can you really get a 10% discount on  bmw M135 .  Any idea of apr etc..

Yes, I got 10% off mine + 5 year service pack. 4.9% and 55% GFV after 3 years.

Say what you like about its looks, every motoring journo's car of the year, that performance for that money - find comparable elsewhere.

Looks fantastic. Much more appealing than the new S3, M135i etc....

very interested in this, looks far better than rivals but can it provide as good an all round package as the m135i?

The new A class has a nice driving position and is a well thought out car. I really like the look of this.

Especially with the aero pack



:drool:

Kinda reminds me of the Alfa Giulietta, especially in white, although prefer the merc.

Interested to see if they also release a 3dr version. The 3dr A Class comes out this year.

Guess the silver fox chap is correct looking at this AMG portal

http://www.mercedes-amg.com/webspecial/a45/index_eng.php

Stock is double spoke 18s. Not sure what standard seats are then. All interior pics seem to show the optional sports seats

Lots of options as usual. Engine uses air/water charge cooler! Would like to see how the new S3 compares to this  :driver:

I really like this I sat in a lhd drive a few months ago with those seats in and carbon dash on the 18s and it looked the dogs bollox to me once mapped up I think it's going to be an animal

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

Wouldn't have dreamed for a minute that a Mercedes A-Class would ever be cool & desirable to hot hatch owners  :laugh:

I'll go and have a gander at one in Mercedes Benz World.

They do look good and sound ideal.  :smiley:

Serious amounts of wantness from over here..

I will be all over one of these come early net year when the BM goes. So long as it drives well and comes in under budget.. Only problem is, once the seats, red calipers, aero kit, carbon pack and other interior options are added, it's going to be a seriously expensive hatch..  :scared:

Wonder what headroom will be in that engine though? 360bhp from a 2.0, 4 bagger is a lot, but I dare say you will be on the right side of 400bhp with a cheeky map. Plus with 4wd, dual clutch box etc, it will be a fooking weapon so long as it's weight doesn't get the wrong side of a RS3.

The pictures leave me cold sadly, have to agree with a few others that I would prefer the M135i and a few tweaks :evilgrin:

No one else think the car looks a bit boy racer/chavvy with the aero pack?

Better vid of it here (although not giving it enough beans for me)..



Is it me, or does it sound a little bit like the TFSI with a Milly?

I guess soundwise you can only do so much with 4 cylinders, a turbo and some steel tubes.

Looks good though.  :happy2:

telling that none of the pics/vids are of the standard spec and are optioned to some degree...... (even the "milly" exhaust, probably......)
