## Is an A 35 quick enough to be worth it?

For almost every road in Britain, yes. 302bhp in a car this size puts 62mph 4.7 seconds away, which is quicker than a 911 was a generation ago, and four-wheel drive means it arrives in the wet as well as the dry. What an A 35 does not do is intimidate. It is the AMG you can hand to somebody who has never driven one and watch them enjoy it rather than survive it.

## How does it differ from the A 45 S?

Considerably, and the price gap is the honest guide. The A 45 S is a 415bhp hand-built four-cylinder with a drift mode and a chassis to match; the A 35 shares the shape and the badge but is a far more relaxed car underneath. If you want the sharper one, hire that. If you want a fast, comfortable, four-wheel-drive hatchback that will sit at motorway speed all day, this is the better choice and it costs less.

## Does it work as a long weekend car?

It is one of the few genuinely practical cars in this catalogue. Five seats, a real boot, and economy that will not embarrass you on a long run. People take the supercars for a day and something like this for a week, and both are the right decision.

## What about the driver criteria?

Lower than most of what is here, which is part of the point of the car. Twenty-five and two years on a full licence, against thirty and five for the fastest things in the catalogue. It is the model most likely to clear the insurer for a younger driver.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire a Mercedes-AMG A 35 in the UK?

Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through partners rather than supplying it ourselves, and we confirm a named car against your dates before anything is agreed.

### Is the A 35 four-wheel drive?

Yes. 4MATIC is standard, which is most of why it is the AMG we suggest for a British winter and for a driver who has not run something this quick before.

### How many people does it seat?

Five, with a boot that takes a weekend for four. It is among the most practical cars in this catalogue.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
