So I read one of the reviews on here of somebody that drove one today and didn't like it. Looked small.
I walked into the dealer this afternoon and walked up surprised at how big it looked. It doesn't look like a small car. Doesn't look huge, but not small to me either.
Looks nice in pics, but man, that is one sweet looking car in person.
They had 3 come in and 2 were already sold before they got off the boat. So I was able to drive #3.
I have a volvo, so entry luxury I guess. This was the first time I've been in a Mercedes. But as soon as I sat in the seat it was like being wrapped up into the car (in a good way).
I'm 5'8" and there is plenty of room for me. I don't give a rat's patooey about the back seat. In 9 years with my volvo, I've been back there once - emergency vet trip with my great dane after she was attacked by a pit bull. I don't intend to spend much time in the back seat of my new vehicle either. My dane and dobe fit just fine in the back seat of my s40, so they will fit just fine in the back seat of this.
I went in with my mind mostly made up that I'm not buying it. It is a bit more than I really want to spend on a car, especially with no wiggle room from MSRP and needing premium gas.
Got home and DH said just do it if I really wanted to, the CLA equipped the way I want it isn't much more than the cars I'm looking at - and it looks way better than a camry (what doesn't... sorry, camry is a boring looking exterior for me).
So I'm back on the fence again. Will head over tomorrow or Wed to spend a bit more time checking it out and go for another drive before I decide.
