i had to give up on this video after 5/6mins - his voice was grating on meHe's bought an A class although he mentions that he really wanted an A2 but its not quite old enough yet to import to the US
Presumably a shouty American somewhere on the “Scotty Kilmer scale” (another American on YouTube who seems to be quoted by the mainstream press fairly regularly as a car “expert” - note the speech marks)My first question is who is Doug Demuro, perhaps I should get out more?
Try changing the starter motor or accessing the coil pack without the special Mercedes keys!After watching the whole video Doug's sponsors definitely sourced a good looking car. It's built to specification and suited to the market. The engine has limited access when replacing parts just like the A2.
The interior doesn't match the quality of an A2.

Isn't he related to Hoovie, the guy who buys the cheapest supercar in the whole of the US and then catalogues the costs to fix it! I used to enjoy them but they got 'same old' after a while and Mat Armstrong (UK) is far better. At least he spanners himself and talks through how things work.My first question is who is Doug Demuro, perhaps I should get out more?

I take it the A2 was never sold in the US?
I was going from the above comments which eluded to the fact that his voice is annoying. Like Scotty Kilmer’s.I don't think that is very fair. It's akin to saying a British TV presenter is presumably like Piers Morgan.
It's fine not to like his presentation style or disagree with him, but no reason to be so harsh.
There are/were a couple in Australia, iirc.They both worked for Jalopnik/Autotrader at the same time.
And yes the A2 was never sold in the US, or outside of Europe at all as far as I am aware.

According to a quick Google they were never officially sold there. Did they import them at the time?There are/were a couple in Australia, iirc.

I believe a few A2s went there as a market tester. Obviously not a success ...
