      Really? What did you enjoy about this Nigerian style infomercial? The car was never designed with countries like Nigeria in the minds of the designers.
      ....have you ever seen the poor state of maintenance of Nigerian roads?

Btw I seen Snapchat videos of guys in Nigeria driving Lamborghini and Ferraris , in what road do they drive those non existent ground clearance supercars of what you say about the roads are accurate!!

    Here is a story when the CLA first came out and I wanted to buy it. First I have the c230 kompressor of way back. When I went back to upgrade to the newer CLA, believe it or not there at a Mercedes dealership, one of the sellers told me outright not to buy the CLA. I asked him why and he said that car is a complete nonsense. Well not really exactly so 😋 but an ENTRY LEVEL CAR to be exact. As in no power just like any other car on the street with a big giant Mercedes logo and grill. He said the car was designed completely to attract young folks into the Mercedes family. To enjoy Mercedes , not even the C whatever nowadays, instead from E class. Story short I winded up buying an E class. I Love my E class and still have my old c230 kompressor. Mercedes Benz still the best car maker out there for me. Elegance, quality and made to last.
    Go figure, every world leaders have Mercedes on their fleet of cars and usually there go to, there number one on world stage. Much love from California 👍

      Its the 1.5 dci, in the diesel cla 180. Its a very old engine, and used to be unreliable, but it's been perfected over the years and by the time it got in the CLA all the buggs are worked out. Its actually a good engine and quite bulletproof. All the other cla's have real Mercedes engines 😉

    The Cla was not built for Nigerian roads or weather. One of its main purpose, was for college kids in America to be able to afford it.
    The front wheel base drive, is due to winter weather. During snowfall, you need acceleration & grip.

    A few things to keep in mind, servicing your transmission once a year is a bit overkill. Mercedes usually recommend service every 4 years or 40,000 miles but depending on transmission type, the age of the vehicle, how much you drive, and a few more factors can change. Also, the first Mercedes FWD is not the CLA. lol.

    Simple fact , the car wasn't made for African market. When u buy from Europe and America and u ship to Africa, that's the problems u will face, especially with fuel availabilities. The ones made for African market has a different fuel injector system and few things that can take regular petrol or diesel fuel .
    Now doing oil change u need full synthetic oil , preferably mobile one brand, not authentic oil , it's synthetic oil, and it's very expensive.
    Any vehicle that uses premium oils( synthetic) has to use premium fuel .
    Last but not least , too much dust can shorten your car's lifespan .

    Oil change need not be expensive. Get Fully SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL and premium oil filter and do the oil change max of 2ce a year.

    Nice review as always Crank.
    Truth be told the CLA is about the most fraudulent car in Nigeria. It is a cheap car that is heavily overpriced. I always wonder why people will be willing to pay about the same amount for the W205(C Class) for the C117(CLA).
    The A Class & B Class(which is the platform the C117 is based upon) are actually FWD marketed in Europe & Africa Nigeria inclusive. The C117 just happened to be the 1st FWD Benz marketed in North America.

    I’ve worked on this car, the parts are cheaply made, the back seats are smaller than they look… if you do buy it, change the water pump and alternator right away… it is still a fun car, I like it… need more ground clearance tho, have to be careful around uneven road, especially the bumper…Never fix the alternator or water pump…. Just get a new one

  • @EinsteinOjogan
    @EinsteinOjogan 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't think it is overpriced. That a brand new sold for 18million 8years ago and now a tokunbo sells for 12million is expected. Have we forgotten that the naira traded at 165 naira to a dollar 8 years ago and today trades for about 600 naira to a dollar? Since these cars are all imported, it is no surprise that the price would be influenced by that.
