I had an A45 for 2 days while I was in France, wasn't too keen on it if I am honest, other half loves it though and it sounded nice for a 2L 4 Pot.

Personally I would rather get a 63 of some sort.

The M133 is an amazing engine, I average 35mpg on Surrey to London commuting.

Stock it is a bit underwhelming, It is a completely different animal at stage 1 though, The torque comes in a lot earlier and stays there, We post 0-60 times of 4.2 secs in the wet and NOT using race start... not a lot keeps up on the road

How does that compare to your tuned 350cdi?

I thinks its the same with all cars some love them some hate them, no doubt the A45 Has a great engine, I have also heard we have a black series coming in the near future.

Its very hard to compare to be honest, the 350 has loads of torque but a small power band when compared to the A45. for cruising the C350cdi all day but overall the A45 takes the win.... I might even say its the most complete car I have ever driven ...

What sells it for me though is the 4wd, it just allows full exploitation of the power where a C Class would not... Im sure most C63 owners know the wet road feeling and TSC screaming at you !
