James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- As fast and as fun as ever
- Five-cylinder sound is unique amongst rivals
- Significantly undercuts A45 and CLA45 twins
Misses
- Some features missing due to semiconductor shortage
- Easily $100,000 on the road – far from cheap thrills
- Tyres can get a little noisy on the highway
