The mercedes benz might be the most powerful one currently, but to be honest am disappointed with it (was expecting it to look more special)
the Kia on the other hand I am really curious to see how it does and glad the korean's are getting more brave in the european market (wish the Hyundai Genesis came to europe) and I think Kia did a better job at making their hot hatch look special as opposed to AMG's surprisingly bland looking hot hatch.
Bold words given no roadtests seem to have been conducted yet, certainly not of production examples.
If reviews of other A class variants are to be believed ride comfort will be an issue, cant imagine performance version will be better! Maybe best to wait until its been driven against its rivals before making a call?

Superlative!
A45 AMG outclasses other hot hatches.
No other hot hatch even comes close.
