The Harrison Auto Sales is a total throw back Matt!

[lilrockstarrs]

Love the classic style review Matt! Nice touches as well to keep it exciting. Thanks for another solid video!

[Cooperdaleit]

This felt like an old Subaruwrxfan video! Thanks for the review.

Harrison Auto Sales back in the mix. Yeah Boi!!!

If this is a stock exhaust from MB, others should learn that a turbo 4 can sound impressive if they put some effort. Great review Matt.

5:33 That was a fantastic honest surprise and real joy. 🙂 Thanks for the review, Matt.

Man the car provided by Harrison Auto Sales is a blast from the past. Great review, love these cars.

I bought my gla45 based on your cla45 review back in the day so good to see you still shining some light on these. In the used market they’re sub $30k, reliable If you grab the right one (well serviced) and sooo special feeling. This will likely be a very good buy in a few years

Everything about that car is awesome except for that red on the interior but man that looks like fun

[sengsythao]

Refreshing to see your good ol reviews again, and from good ol Harrison auto sales! Like the look of mercedes and sounds nice! 😎👍

[timephire]

Good ol' Harrison Auto Sales, SubaruWRXFan may be in the Shadow Realm but they live on with Best Matt! 😆

I love this pick. Mercedes has some nice driver’s cars.

Love my 2020 cla 35 with aero package, communications package and amg performance seats. Only thing I don't like is the gears being on the side of the steer wheel (because I'm old school) and sometimes the transmission because it's DCT. Sound could be a bit better but that's what I get for a 4 banger. Probably will do a stage 2 with upgraded pipes and intercooler for a a little more power

Hope the next video is with a car from S.Park Mitsubishi

I like it! I would pick the RS3 over it, but this is a good one.

Nice review Mat. Could you allow captions on the video if possible? I'm thinking about replacing my Mazdaspeed 6 but im having a hard time letting go of it. Not much AWD turbo manuals left except for Subie. I realy like the new RS3. I also found a CT4-V Blackwing Manual for about the same price. I know you rave about the supercruise for trips. So, sacrifice the AWD for the Manual or vice versa?

[tanakamuzangaza]

Was sceptical of the new gen CLA but they're actually pretty cool in person, not as subtle as they seem

[blackedout.fan]

Hi Matt! I don't mean to be annoying but if you don't get the proximity key as an option, can you still take the push button start out and insert the key in like in the older (2017 and below) Mercedes models? Thank you Matt!

[joshuaallard-howells]

Next you need to review the cla 45! I think it’s way better than the new Rs3!

Nostalgic intro, now we need to see South Park Mitsubishi!
