I wish they would bring the A45 to the US. I would take one instead of the CLA.
Looks good!

Awesome Congrats

Also stoked the A45 variant will be available in Australia, of the 2 versions released so far it's definitely my favourite as well.

Let us know more of your impressions of the car as you explore its envelope more and more

Im still in time for break in so have not put full blast yet but I did little bit of full throttle, etc.

My past car was C63 but driving this A45 I felt really fun car to drive. Transmission is better, handling in corner I feel more safe so I can keep on stepping on gas in the corner also. I hit 200km once but it was fast as or just little bit slower but it can hit 200km very fast for sure.

Over all I love A45 so far. Just exciting car to drive. And the sound on up shift is so nice.

After break in is finished I will do more and more full throttle and race start so will update you all with my feeling of the ar

Dead pedal means your left foot "foot rest"? If you send me picture of what kind you want I will look for it. Im pretty sure there is one in Japan. Its for A45? CLA45?

Thanks Hiro.

Yes, it's the left foot rest for my A45. RHD here in Australia, as per Japan.

At the moment, the left foot rest is carpet. Won't be long before the carpet there gets worn out.

If we could find something to match the 2 existing A45 aluminium pedals, it would be fantastic. I understand we have the same pedals.

You guys have the good stuff in Japan, albeit not cheap

Thanks for your help.

Donald

Hope that you can find it.
