I mean, if you're gonna buy a car that's considered as a coupe, don't expect the rear seats to be spacious. xD
Ian Sanchez Exactly Mercedes said it’s a 4door coupe
Bruh, im looking for engine/long term issues not just all about your point of view about your body toward the car.
Word
hAAHAHAHAHAHA
God 💀😂
i own one what do you need to know. gladly answer your questions
@@DjVojto as far as overall engine and transmission reliability. Have you had or heard about recurring problems in these models that one should be aware of ?
Somebody pull this dude out of this benz, and give him a Yugo. He doesn't deserve a star.
First off, the passenger seat is all the way back, you can move it up. And you will be able to see. I just bought one for Christmas and it has blown me away at how nice it is... anyone reading this, go buy one, you will not be disappointed. Just make sure to tell them what you want . Got a great deal especially Christmas time. I have blind spot assist , back up camera 2 ways, driving assist, LED lights , apple car play, nice rims, except NAVI. But why need that when you have GPS on your phone 😊 mines a 2017, I absolutely love it!
Lindsey love nah i bought the new E class, wayyyyy better quality and way better than this plasticfest :p
What about maintenance cost is it good ???
I love the look and sound of the car I’m going to buy one
Wait for the 2020 model of the CLA. That's what am doing. It's larger interior and much nicer.
Josh Herrera I prefer this model
I own one of these buddy the reason it doesn't have the features you are complaining about is because YOU cheaped out and didn't get the options!!!! Blind spot assist is an option, Sunroof (panoramic roof) again option, Navigation another option, you can even chose the Garmin navigation which is only $500 sd card, push start another option, and even disctronic parktronic is an option!!!!
loll, you got the truth
You must be a moron Freddy, hes making a comparison.You are making his point by your dumb comment, add all those features you mentioned and the car is at 40K ish .I had one of these lemons and let me tell you its a P.O.S the car screams "cut corners" look at your back door panel there is a big gap you can see the door metal,to have the hood stay open you must use the stick to hold it up.My car was at the dealer numerous times that I had to lemon law it.For all those who are saying its nice its because you are probably coming from a Chevy or Dodge .The man points out valid issues.Everyone who is justifying the price and craftsmanship of the car are doing so because they got duped into buying the "name".When I see one on the road which is few nowadays I laugh at the owner.You obviously came to watch his video because you have some concerns.Look on cla forums and you will see what i am talking about,oh but wait you already do......
cano malo mmmmmm actually your the moron. Lol based on EVERYONES comments on here EXCEPT yours lol.... there's a reason YOUR ASS bought this car lol..... I've had mine for 3 years NO issues no Problems! It's not our fault you probably drive like an idiot or they sold you a lemon one but like I said I've had mine for 3 years and NEVER any issue and Has not been at the shop once! And ...... you bought one..... sooooo your calling yourself a moron..... I agree
actually leased it and you cant deny the fact that its cheaply made like i said go on cla forums and look up problems and you will see ,like the man said for that price you can get a way better car how do you like the big ass gap on the back door?and the horrible stop go? I can go on and on but you are trying to convince yourself you got a good car so good luck with that POS
Freddy Mnemonic look at you bragging about owning the poor man's mercedes and saying u had no issues with it lol. what r u trying to do, make urself feel better for owning an overpriced mitsubishi with a mercedes badge? The cla is an overpriced piece of shit. i test drove it a few years ago and a car in this price range should include sunroof, blindspot assist AND navigation. u must be a complete fucking idiot to have paid that amount of money for this crap. and just fr ur info, im not a mercedes hater, just bought myself the new e350 last week
This has got to be one of the poorest 'issue' reviews I have ever seen. Full of subjectivity and unfounded claims. Do yourself a favor and test drive this and the competition before you make up your mind.
I just bought that exact car with everything upgraded and me and my wife love the shit out of it!
I plan on getting one January 2020
Getting this as my first car
@@theunknown5331 how has it been
Just this: last week only I switched to ....yes - a new CLA ! After 180.000 km trouble free riding, no rattles and cracks and an astonishingly low fuel consumption. Everything just worked and kept on working. Scheduled maintenance, that was it. Only point I do agree is that the rather small side and rear windows combined with the headrests which are quite beefy do sometimes obstruct part of the view. So, get yourself a CLA but order the blind spot monitor and the reverse camera. The choice of Hp is yours...
I’m still buying one 😂😂😂
Did you like it?
I just got a 2017 motorsport edition used. The original sticker was in the log book. It was $54,000 and it's bad ass. Full AMG kit on the 250. Brakes, suspension, interior, body, everything AMG. It even has Recaro seats. It's an awesome car.
car offers no problem for up to 5.10 height drivers, I've had tow and they drive great, changing lanes never been a problem since it does come with side mirrors and blind spot is not where the seat is! need to get it with suspension adjustment since sports suspension is great for interstate and winding roads, but a bit hard for inner city driving! Back seats good only for smaller passengers! The Navigation card you must insert for the car to read the maps and then it works! Not great for older people either, this is a sports car format, not a sedan!
I have the 2017 CLA Shooting Brake and I like it a lot. To work and longer trips. Sure, I "enjoy" C, but definitely E-Class way more, but not really much from a comfort level, I just find them more fun to drive. CLA is very good.
i own a cla 2017 i kinda agree with some of the issues but i still like it over the audi a4 or a5
wow what an honest review.Thx,I decided to go for the a4 and im so happy with it
he could not afford what he wanted.
Spot on 5:15 that blind spot is a serious problem.. I’ve had my car since 2014 and it was the first problem I had
dude you get the hater of the year award lol
Chase Blaze lol
Lmfaoo
Odee, hes mad more people can afford it lmao thats sick
Tall dude giving his honest review. Are you hating his review? Hater
Wow! Comments section would make anyone but a CLA. 😁 I got a 2015 CLA 200D in India. Drives super smooth and gives an awesome mileage. Upsized tyres to increase ground clearance for Indian roads and upgraded to a 12“ Android system. It's a real head-turner in India and I love the overall build quality & performance. Rear seats are slightly cramped but it's fine.
very good points of blind spots most people driving these cars have no idea what a blind spot is
I like the look of this small Mercedes. I was considering getting one but at the end of the day I got a Lexus IS, the smallest Lexus sedan.
Good points, especially about the crap arm rests
LOL...what a joke of a review. Take every other car of the similar size and you're going to have the same issues.
pellis0007 that may be true but other cars in this price range do come with navigation, blindspot assist and more features than this piece of plastic with a merc badge on it
My Jetta had these same issue
I paid less than $50 for the Mercedes Benz navigation SD card from Amazon. Works perfectly.
Knowing that the CLA 250 4matic is 45% more expensive in Western Europe i think it's a pretty good bargain even with the issues you mentioned and i'm 5.10" so head room, leg room issues do not apply for me .
Ummm this guy needs an SUV! Most of his concerns were about a small car.
oh my god!!! ive had my cla for a few weeks now and i was so confused why it was saying i had no memory card on my nav system! im glad to find out its not just a fault in my system. great vid.
Love your precious content dude 👌👌👌👌👌 Steve ( England ) 👌👌👌👌👌👌
I have one and I like it a lot, drives great. Lots of power for 4 cil.
yeah i was like (nah only 135 HP) but when turbo start to blow it compete with 3L diesel audi A6. :D cause it is lighter.
oh mate you need to check Bmw 328i which also has 4 cil. it's way much better
After the first complaint I was like nope this is bs
Hi,
Do you still have your CLA 250 car?... Have you had any mechanical or any problems with it?... I really like it but I’m afraid it’ll be too expensive to maintain or how good they are and last, can you give me your opinion! :) thank you!
pescadito19 I want to know that too :( , cuse I really like this car , but I’m afraid that can be really expensive to fix or like you said to maintain ...
literally no disrespect at all but if money is a concern for maintenance dont get a merc. and if you get a merc buy a c class. im telling you this car car is hated by 90% of people for a reason. i know its entry level, but its literally not a merc. it will ruin the brand for you.
It’s a coupe bro which coupe in a 35k bracket will give you space?
I own this car and I'm 6 foot 4 and everything he is talking about is wrong. I can push the seat so far back I can barely touch the pedals and I have sat in the back seat and was more than comfortable as well. I also drove the car from California to Texas and it is a beast on the Highway. My Camaro ZL1 on the other hand lol now that's a different problem.
To everyone critical of this review, keep in mind he is just being honest. Good job sir, you simply point out that this is an entry level Benz (NOT a Maybach) and you get what you pay for.
I drive this car every . Its perfect and fast. And 40 mpg !!!
how's reliability??
@@ayeiscam1 best . Fuel line clamp well hose shrunk. 10$ fix
Only thing I don’t like is how the transmission drives in Mercedes very wonky and late responding if you have one you know what I mean when you have to press the gas a second time to get that oomph , also the interior in cla is super cheap hard everywhere might aswell have been a Mazda so I got the A3 Audi
very good review
take the head rests, pillars and hell yeah, take the seats too. That way you have lots of visibility.
Not so bad, but look carefully before you consider buying a 2014. 2015 and later seem to be okay from a lemon standpoint.
This guy complained too much!!!! It’s still a beautiful car. That I want too.
Hmmm! What can I buy for 35K? A Subaru WRSX, Mazda 3, Honda Civic SI, Ford Mustang 2.2 Eco boost, Chevy Cruse, ..., ...,
All fully loaded and better than the CLA on every angle according to consumer report.
You do realize this is the cheapest class, right? And I can totally cope with the CLA, because those aren't issues for me.
Aside from the the blind spot issues, the rest are just tick tack. Most people don’t buy Mercedes for all of that, they drive Mercedes because it’s a Mercedes and it looks good.
This is important to every day luxury buyers.
I don't think "budget" luxury vehicles are the way to go. However, you can get a really nice camry or accord in this price range. These days your average vehicle comes with all the features that used to be privy to a luxury vehicle. In this price range you can get a nice v6 camry with 270hp, leather seats, sunroof and all the perks. If you can't go full Mercedes, don't go Mercedes.
Mercedes, BMW Deappriciate so fast compare to like Camry, honda Accord. New Camry and accord is an amazing car. If someone buy something to show status quo and spending tons of money. It's nothing but a stupidity and they are not good with investment. ( Am not talking about multi millionaires. ) Am talking about middle class.
The gas eating in sports mode might be a Mercedes’ thing cuz my e350 sips gas in comfort n eats it in sport
Thanks for exposing CLA..
I love this car! Just bought one!
Hey what year is the car ?
Geeez... I haven't seen any other reviews of other vehicles this person has done, but this is not a balanced assessment of the vehicle. It a pity it isn't a bit more "balanced" with some positives added in to be a bit less of a hatefest and a bit more like a considered and balanced review of the car. I am sure the contributor is just stating his opinion, but it doesn't seem very convincing as I felt I was being Sold on how bad the car is. It feels like there is an agenda in the background or some issues personally being vented here. (not being nasty..."Just providing my opinion") Im in Australia... and have recently unintentionally purchased a CLA 45 which retails here including Government Tax's here at just under $100, 000. I say unintentionally because I have a 2012 BMW 520d with 120,000 kms on the odometer sitting in my garage with a broken timing chain and hence no go engine. Oh, and I bought that BMW with the insurance payout from my BMW 320i which burst into flames on the motorway! No fun... quite scary! I still love BMW, I have owned five other mercedes from new from a C Class to CLK cabriolet, and finally an S350 which I loved... and each of those cars had some "issues" Just My Opinion, lol and some actual design issues or faults that most other owners had as well. I have owned two Jags from new, four SAAB's (back in the day), one Volvo and two Audi's amongst some others. Im a Real Estate Agent so do a lot of Km's per year and normally trade cars every two to two and a half years. One thing I have found, google any car and you will discover that every make and model has a few re-occurring design, mechanical or aesthetic issues repeated by owners. That's usual, nothing is perfect or a ideal fit for just one person as this guy seems to be looking for. I reckon don't be too serious about it, enjoy the good/great bits, relax, calm down and enjoy your car for now and don't sweat the small stuff or you will never be happy with any purchase! This guy doesn't even own the car he's reviewing and only seems to have had a brief time with it. I can say that I am very happy with mine, yeah some things aren't perfect design-wise... In my opinion...lol. But dude chillax on the design opinions about the CLA, it is designed as a COUPE' not a sedan for one (which if reviewing you should be across), hence the slopping rear design, and can I just say... that in my CLA45 im usually in front of everyone excited like a teenager with a new drivers licence (won't have it for long... as the CLA is quick) making the engine rev and pop... I'm 48yrs old, grow up I say! But its fun to drive, noisy, turns heads and quick. I am happy! Not what I would normally buy... but its fun and suprised me...lol. Have a great day everyone!
Good review. I was considering this car. So it is for single person with no kids that will be taking short trips.
365 - Its a European, so the cabin will be designed spaciously for the front passengers.
I would drive that lovely Volvo 850 in the back than the Mercedes. Do you know that in europe the cheap diesel A class has a Renault engine?
I am taking delivery of a 2018 CLA 200 tomorrow... Thing is, it holds better value vs a c class, so lower starting price but better hold of value, and that's purely because of the styling. Design has value
I own this car. It is awesome.
everyone's got different opinions about cars. personally I like the low roof with small windows it really looks sporty . I know the visibility is poor at certain angles but won't be an issue for a good driver. I'm a truck driver (18 wheeler) I know what I'm talking about when it comes to blind spots and trust me when I say people can adjust . what I learned about german cars they tend to have more issues with the electronic compared to Japanese cars . also maintenance is more expensive but handling is great
I did not get that usain bolt metaphor 😃🤦🏻♂️
Really came here to see what kind of issues this car has like engine, electrical , mechanical. Like these are only issues you care about from your own personal standards The description is misleading
Shakir - You mentioned the answers you are seeking in your response. The fact that I did not mention a problem(s) with the engine, electrical, and mechanical systems simply means I did not uncover any. What brands have you been buying. There's only a hand full of automotive manufacturers on the market that are notorious for those type system failures. The issues I shared are real. They are often discovered when you only option is to trade. If you are ?ing the issue you are looking for, you don't need to buy the auto
@@AltonCrawford same car I thought you were revealing an issue or malfunction but anywho thanks for the video
@@shakirjohnson5156 - Awesome cover photo! You get the packages and options you desire and drive it like you stole it.
The left armrest is actually worse on a Jaguar XE. You should not expect too much comfort from non-American cars.
You were being judge but you right bout alot of things. Yet i still like my lil benz
Good video back seats seem so small it's more for single person which is sad for that price tag
lowest class mercedes offer.. im sorry you couldnt afford what you wanted..
So right I don’t like my 2015 crossover very uncomfortable and cheap material.
Excellent review. I am not rich. Now, from this reviee, I realize if one had $35k max to spend on a car, then there are better choices than this stripped down CLA. Dont get me wrong, it is s beauticul car. But some, including me, may thought many features come standard. In order to fully enjoy it, another 5 to 10 grand. Exterior is beautiful though.
4 years ago you could get it for 25k. now its 4 years later what did you choose?
@@DjVojto I purchased courtesy vehicle Volvo S60 with 4k miles. $9k off MSRP. Not as prestigious as Mercedes, but bigger than CLA and most of the features are standard. Overall I am happy with it.
@@Team-USA i think you chosed really good option.
@@DjVojto I’m guessing 9 months later you’ve put some miles on what mileage is it at and have you had any problems since then?
@@bryantis2119 no no problems.
I think you should have taken one for a long test drive before buying one ! Lately the premium car makers have started to make cheaper models but people here in Europe don`t like them very much because of the cheap feel ! That`s why most people are still saving up for the top models because we know that they are more luxurious, spacious and better built !
Yeah Bro, I “can” totally see you head touching the dark roof lmao. Good review overall though!
Come on Daeshan. I'm in the gym right now working on the height. 5'10 & growing?
this has pretty good gas milage for nearly 400 hp car 4 wheel drive
Good review
It's also a 4-door coupe...yes, there really is such a thing...google it. Youse gets what you pay for and real luxury is not this car, youse has to step up.
I see lot of complaining in the comments amd in the video. You pay what you get! If you want all the comfort then buy an S class. This is an entry level car. You can't expect to have all the bells and whistles on an E or S class. If you want to show off, look I am driving a MB but I can only pay 35k, shut up and drive it.This is what I call EGO problem. Be American buy American!
Unwatchable.I came here looking for reliability questions, but we'll all obviously have to look somewhere else. I don't care about your opinion on The styling or the length of the armrest! I can get a feel for those things if I decide to go test drive one. This couldn't be less helpful.
Dave - The fact that I did not address a reliability question is your answer. You are looking in the wrong area for your answers. You need to ask current and previous Merck owners to truly get what you are looking for. Additional, I guarantee you will not notice the things I have highlighted during your hour long visit. Thanks of your thought
Would this be good as a first car?
If it fits the dynamics of the Pasour family, go for it. Always be aware of the maintenance cost associated with ownership of any automobile.
@@AltonCrawford yes I have a 1991 Mercedes Benz 190e 2.3 it’s been a good car I’ve had it 3 years Mercedes can be good cars if maintained properly 😃
Would it be smart to buy a used CLA? No accidents low mileage..
You only live once. Just do what you think is the best.
I’m tryna get a Mercedes cla this week but I’m scared idk why😂
Go for it. I'm sure you will love, but if possible splurge and step up to the C-Class
Dash also blocks your view!
Of course it's not gonna have the bells n whistles like the other models this car is meant for people who are on a budget for a Benz and don't care shit about the other negative comments you just mentioned.
wait till it passes 40,000 miles to cough up $15,000 for repairs.
didnt happen...
Iv owned one of these for over a year I do lots of miles ever day and find it absolutely amazing so your comments don't make sense to me, your opinion is your opinion but I think your miles off everything your saying
Cla for people that don't know much about cars
So tell me the real issue now
JD - The real issue. It's a car faithful Mercedes-Benz owners wish Diamler would have never introduced.
Great HONEST review. I really enjoyed it
Did he do this video before picking up his kid from school lol
Good video
This car is just perfect, I have 2015 cla and I am very happy, video that shows is just bullshit and not correct, they want underwalue this car,
The Audi A3 2.0T Quattro Premium Plus is a better deal
why oh why are luxury car makers cheapening their products? Someone at work bought one of these things...its hard plastic, fake leather, and fake chrome....and its front wheel drive, not very MB like.....why not just buy a gentle used MB and get a real MB..?
Scott Walper very very few cars do real chrome and many cars are switching to the engineered leather cause it’s more durable and doesn’t crack and sag like real leather and plastic is also more durable which I’d prefer over dated wood personally but if I had a choice I’d rather have stainless or carbon fiber
These are not bB or C pillows...they are B or C posts.
It looks great but it is a poor man MB and rip off; I just traded one in for es 350.
Peter Lu what made u trade? I've been debating on buying the cla for a while now. I'm trying to decide this or a Infiniti q50.
Do not do it. MB stick you with service AB which an oil change for 300.. I got a very nice es350 for 37k
Peter Lu did you know that a Lexus IS just a rebadged Toyota so you bought a rebadged camry
Not ANYONE can buy a Mercedes the hell out of here
Sounds like you need a single cab truck 🛻 or a bicycle 🚴
$34000 INCLUDING TAX????????????
The Lexus IS series is way better than any german car in its class.
What! I admit that it has a stellar resale value, but to say the IS is the best in class is greatly over stepping the boundaries. You may be sipping a little too much of the Lex-aid.
Not a professional review. Very subjective description.
There is no Chrome on this car. It's all plastic. Chrome is made of metal
I drove this as a loaner. It's zippy but also kinda wack. It's really small and I wasn't impressed. I own a CLS and I love it so much.
The design of the CLS is a popular item for Mercedes-Benz. Its sleek body lines and sculpted curves ushered in a new era of design to the automotive industry.
@@AltonCrawford of course it is. cla is an a class while cls is the s class, which is obviously the best class. this was the whackiest review i’ve ever seen
IF U DO NOT LIKE THE CAR THEN SELL IT
Mercedes starts to become Mercedes from E class And up .
the slope of the roof in the back is for Model biches that like to swoop out of a vehicle and arch their lil skinny backs... it makes for a cinematic effect hey like. Ive seen so many bad biches get out of cars like that when they dont need to, and this one forces them to do so.
no blind spot assist...I call bullshit buddy!
Complete bullshit! I had the exact same car and it was amazing! Comfortable af especially on long trips!!!! Bullshit!!! My baby got totaled yesterday! I miss him so much and gonna try to buy the same!
Temple - I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I would strong encourage you to buy as new as possible. You'll love the newer CLA's even more.
Dude did you look that car before buying it ? Did you order the car on aliexpresss ? You should have got the c class then but if you’re too broke to afford a bigger Mercedes product just go and get a Honda Accord what a useless video
eeek-hoe mode
How come you don’t have a typical black accent?
04:40 wing mirrors.
None of these are genuine concerns for people lmao
I feel sorry for u man u got a couple things wrong . First if all u gotta get all the premium options on a mercedes thats why its a mercedes and second of all ur too tall for that mb ,this car is for young people that wanna pick up a chick and go to the beach lol u defenetly need a charger or a camry bro
