For those interested in Top Gear's opinion of the 220 CDI Sport:

I agree. The review was way too short and smacked of a work product that was hastily put together.All in all, the article is short on any type of substance and just seems to fault the car for the tranny and anemic engine. This isn't a performance car and I realize that, so I don't expect it to be.
They are used to slower vehicles there because gas mileage is much more important.It's funny how some comments would never fly in the USA.... "CLA does 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds. PERFECTLY RESPECTABLE NUMBERS."
Granted, I understand it's a diesel, but slow is slow.
