    I had a VW cc for a brief couple months (owner was tight on money and I temporarily took over payments) I've been looking for one of my own ever since but the cla might be even better. Derek, how does the Mercedes compare to the cc?

  • @cikoleko
    @cikoleko 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Im at 2:49 and Derek gave so much information that any other car review show would never tell about this kind of simple stuff but at the same time it really matters and he tells directly about the issue or what's not good about it. Really honest review DerekD. I don't know if Mercedes gave you discount on this Merc but you review it #LIKE A #BOSS (c)Rick Ross

  • @victoarino
    @victoarino 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Derek D que buen FLDtour!
    I just wanted to give you all good feedback but also to suggest that YOU Derek D make more (a lot more) FLDtours. I like your honesty discussing facts because you put it from a "normal" perspective. But what I like the most is that you judge a car (and it's style) personally but also objectively ...and it's also so much fun to watch! Like it like it...
    Keep it up in there FLD Crew

    Hey Derek... a quick question about the CLA, being built in Hungary do you find the quality and overall finish of the car to differ from the German or other countries that built Merc's? Such as B and C class?

      Tell me about it, Here in Australia the CLA250 is $74 000AUD ($69 000USD, £41 600) drive away that is with AWD though and sat nav standard. But still more than double the cost just to have a right hand drive here in Australia. Even the CLA200 is over $70 000.

    I would also like a comparison between this and the CC... literally 50/50 between the two. Only real issue i've heard over and over for the cla is how slow the shifting is. Please do a CLA/CC comp if you can.

    The head room in the back is just way too small which is why I went with the bigger C class and I feel like the entry level CLA 180 is completely underpowered. Well it depends on what you expect from your car but the 180 looks waay more powerful than it actually is which throws me off a little

    I feel you Derek I can't believe they skimped on the hydraulic lifts for the hood and for gods sake if you install a start stop system on your car use an electric a/c compressor!!! I'm a MB owner too. I own a 2008 ML63 AMG. My hood supports are hydraulic but the hood doesn't extend to 90 degrees vertical like my old 2004 E320 did. Its a handy feature when doing work under the hood.

Except that stupid screen and the hood kick stand. I rather pay more not to have a screen at all, and I would get after market hydrolic stands for my hood.
