    Driven this car. Lots of power in city streets & passing on highway is good. Gearshifts are very quick, if sometimes indecisive. Put it in S mode and the gearbox gets VERY aggressive; fast upshifts and it blips throttle on downshifts when braking.
    Couple of thing I hate about this car is:
    1. FWD means you cannot mash the throttle & not have the Traction Control screaming at you. Those OEM rock-hard RFTs don't help.
    2. Start-stop in this 2.0 turbo is very unrefined vs the V6 units found in bigger Mercedes.
    3. This 7spd DCT shifts fine on the go, but it is VERY JERKY in its engagement from a standstill. So much in fact I prefer a regular automatic for stop & go commuting.

      I will say that's an upgrade. No offense but I've test driven the IS250 and it was a complete dog of an engine (I would not settle for anything less than a IS350),
      My cousin brought one of these and he told me he did a software update on his personal request. He let me drove it after and while the gearbox still is hesitant off the line it feels much more linear in its 'bite'. Shifts feel more crisp & smoother so I would say it works.

    • @dlainfiesta
      @dlainfiesta 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Trades46 Yeah I diffinetly get way more attention in the CLA I think cause its still new and they are 250s everywhere

  • @IKhanNot
    @IKhanNot 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I test drove a base CLA 250 and while it's not bad it doesn't feel like a full on Benz. It does have MB characteristics like a solid feel and nice styling but something feels like it's missing and it feels like the older C Class coupes which were horrid. I would recommend ponying up the extra dollars and getting a C Class sedan or coupe which has all the characteristics of a good Benz for not a lot more in terms of price. The C Class has an excellent ride/handling combo, good handling, solid feel, quiet cabin and has a great highway feel.

    It's definitely a Mercedes, just not the Mercedes that Americans are used to. In other places around the world you can hop in a c class taxi and find roll up windows:)
    Anyways Mercedes made a good attempt at making a more economical car attractive. Other cars are better bangs for buck but this thing looks good. Seeing as Mercedes has paid the most to date in CAFE regulation fines, I feel they will continue to improve this model. $5.50 per tenth mpg* # of produced vehicles in US market during previous year is ....a very expensive fine :)

    Hi, im going to buy a new car and i wanted to know your opinion. You would prefer an Mercedes Cla 180Cdi with AMG Package and a limited edition ( Ice or Art edition ) and offers the 7 g tronic transmission, an Bmw 118D with M Pack Shadow Line or a A3 Saloon 1.6tdi S-Line package. I think i will take the Cla because they offer the automatic and its an different edition, i'm just afraid that the motor its really slow.

      Bonerific0 once again, he probably has it on a sportier setting. Also the CLA 250 and the CLA 45 AMG are 2 completely different cars. By default the CLA 45 comes with a stiffer suspension. I'd suggest watching a real review of the CLA 250 and let the reviewers say their opinions. Then test drive it yours4

    • @TheBadAssLookingGame
      @TheBadAssLookingGame 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bonerific0 the CLA 45 AMG comes with a stiffer suspension by default while the CLA 250 has a much more softer suspension. You shouldn't really compare sportier products to their normal counterparts. Watch a real review of the 250 then test drive it yourself. The 250 and the 45 AMG are to completely different cars

    It’s a badly put together save Mercedes ECT I really annoying sounding motor. Not enough power bad four-wheel-drive for Canada driving. And the fact that the car is built like a tin can I like your other models but this car sucks. To be honest drive a new Toyota Corolla and you’ll find it is much better on the highway beside not having the acceleration or handling. Three times quieter.That would explain Why they’re selling them so cheap.
