Loyal readers will note that our man -Ward- already had the honor to try out the new Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4Matic+ and they are correct! He had the chance to blast around Nice in one of the most awaited cars of this year. But now -thank God- I had a go in it!

What’s it like to drive the all-new Mercedes-AMG GLA 35? I got the keys to the car for 20 minutes. 20 minutes?? Yes, I took my time with the facelifted E-Class (embargoed until 10-8), and thus he had to rush to drive the GLA.
