Hello all,

Just heard that my company car has been approved: the CLA 200 CDI
It is expected to arrive around mid October 2013..I am very excited

White
Urban package but 17" wheels
Becker Map Pilot
Harman Kardon sound
Bi Xenon lights

I live in Holland, is there already a subsection for the Netherlands? If not, can it be created?
Any advice on waht you would put in for sure on/in this car? I checked the panorama roof, but it didn't look that nice for me...

Hi Ajax777,

Congrats on the car. Looks like you have it pretty much figured out.
How about the light and sight package ? Did you order that package ?

There is no dutch section, but there is a belgian section with dutch/vlaams language.
Good to see another Dutchie here on the forum.

Regards,

Dennis

Hello Dennis,

Good to hear from you
Did you order a CLA as well? Where do you live in NL approximately? Light & sight package is only for interior and there for it seems not very interesting...

Hello guys,

Disadvantage of the CLA: the electronic handbrake on the left side of the steering wheel...why is this not a button ? Like for example on a VW Passat. This really needs to be changed in the next version
Other disadvantages....NONE It's a great car!!

I life in Spijkenisse and indeed bought a CLA.

I ordered one of the first Patagonia red CLA200's in NL early april, delivery in oktober (first batch of 17).
It's a CLA200 6-stick, ambition pack, amg pack and light and sight.

I really like the light and sight package, small details like lights between the seats and headrests,
Aluminated mercedes strip in the door etc.

Hello Dennis,

Sounds great! Is it a diesel? Nice AMG Unfortunately my employer finds this too sporty and I guess they are right...it needs to be representative as well, so no AMG for me, but for you it is an excellent choice of course
Enjoy and let's keep each other posted on the news and arrival!

My car is also a company car, bit luckily I am not on the road a lot for business.
So I can choose what I want.. and I fell in love with AMG look :in love:

I had the opportunity to see the CLA before the official launch, I even got one for a weekend test drive.
You can read about in this topic http://www.mercedescla.org/forum/5-cla-general-discussion/573-my-16-hours-cla.html


p.s. I ordered a CLA200 with petrol (benzine) engine.

Hello Rocket88,

You are a lucky guy I read your testdrive topic, awesome, great that we have this community to share everything on this exciting car which will blow everyone away
Forget Audi, forget BMW, this car will be talked about for a long long time....I will be going to the dealer at 12:00 o'clock and will arrange to put in a illuminated star at the front...awesome feature, try to put it in if you can!!

I am not shure if this is a option for me, but I am interested if its possible and what it will cost.

Hello Rocket88,

Checked with Mercedes dealer. You have to choose Light & Sight package and than they can put it in for an additional 700 euro...
So configuration has changed a bit:

White
Urban package but 17" alloy wheels
Becker Map Pilot navi
Harman Kardon sound
Light & Sight Package
Maybe later....illuminated star

So it is possible :cool2:

This is going to be a cool option in the dark.
