CLA 45 AMG Gets Lukewarm Review From Drive

Even though the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG has been available in the United States for quite a few months now, the peeps from the /drive YouTube channel only got the chance to put up their review of the car today for some reason, despite driving it back in November 2013.
The video review itself isn't narrated by Chris Harris - as we were originally expecting - but by /drive's Mike Musto, who apparently wasn't necessarily blown away by the CLA 45 AMG.

While at first we only thought that he was disappointed by the car's lack of drama in the way it delivers performance, over the course of the review he manages to both praise and criticize the smallest AMG model in the US at the same time, while not offering us a concrete conclusion.

We say this because if you will follow the video until the end, some of Mike Musto's wording don't exactly coincide with how the CLA 45 AMG was graded in each area.

To top it all, Mike is also not even aware of how much horsepower the car he is reviewing actually has, the 335 hp he is mentioning being pretty far from the M133's 360 hp (355 bhp) actual output.
