Hi Everyone,

I just got a CLA yesterday. Long story short, dealership had a total of 5 Wednesday and down to 1 yesterday, and I was able to snag it! Here are the specs:

Jupiter Red
Black MBTex
Sport Package
Pano Roof
BiXenon

Prior to the CLA, I was driving a 2011 C300 4Matic. It was a great car but I wanted something more gas efficient. I was only getting between 14-18mpg in the city and 27 in the highway if I get lucky. I fell in love with this car as soon as I spotted it in the lot. It's definitely a head-turner and a very unique body style. I'm just glad all the options that are a MUST have for me are on the exact car in the lot. I was initially looking for a white one but I really liked the red as soon as I saw it in person. Sorry for the bad phone pics...I'll take better ones as soon as I get chance.

Congrats. It looks great! I live in Denver. Purchased my car in Westminster. But is arriving this Tuesday. I got a with one, Premium Package, Multimedia (just for the back camera because I felt the back window very small), Bi-Xenon lights and Panorama Roof. I really like the diamond grill but I didn't want to spend 2300 more just for the grill that I would be able to change it in the future (just the grill). I moved here some months ago. What do you think about this car and the snow? I was afraid because it's not a 4WD.

Congrats on your new car as well! I was also considering the MM package only for the backup camera but decided not to for cost reasons. I didn't care much for the navigation because I probably only used it twice on my phone this year so I definitely don't use it enough for it to be worth it. I''ll also be okay with the 1.2" screen difference. I definitely wanted the sport package mainly for the AMG wheels. I had the base 17" on my C300 before and regretted that so I made sure I have it on this one.

As far as snow, I haven't driven it in the snow yet but since I have the sport package, it includes summer tires so I may swap them out here in a month for some winter tires. The thing about snow in Colorado is that it melts so quickly that it doesn't really bother me much.

Thanx for the answer. Let's see how I do this winter. Lol. Last winter was my first time driving with snow everywhere!

Congratulations!! It's a sweet car. I'm thinking about the exact same specs but in white. What do you think about the standard audio and the single zone AC?

Enjoy it!!!

Thanks! I haven't listened to the standard speakers on the CLA. I did have them on my C300 though but I'm not sure if they use the same speakers on the CLA. It wasn't horrible and it was a decent upgrade to the speakers I had on my Impreza that I drove prior to the C300. As far as single zone AC...it's really up to the driver. If you consistently have a passenger who loves the temp to be 20F warmer, then it's a great option. This will avoid any arguments on what the thermostat needs to be. lol Having a digital thermostat was also a plus!
