A45 AMG test in autocar
« on: 14 August 2013, 12:56 »
I don't know where these guys get their ratings from !

One month one car is top marks the next it is rubbish, do they rate cars depending on how they feel when they get out of bed.   This time their ratings are

1. Megane 265. 4.5 stars
2.  Ford focus montune 4.5 stars
3. Merc A 45 AMG. 4 stars
4.  BMW M135 4 stars
5. Golf GTi PP 4 stars

Not sure if anyone can make any sense of that, I  can't !

Wow, that is called charging for pointless extras !

I guess the Merc is aimed at rich barstewards downsizing where as the Golf is for peasants like me to aspire to.
Same size of car but different market.
