Test Drive: 'Bargain' Mercedes CLA disappoints

There's another thread running on this article...

Sadly, most of the criticism is consistent other articles/videos I've seen on the 250. On the upside, it looks great!

I agree with that article.

A couple of the test cars had embarrassing misfits of trim, which M-B says shouldn't have been there and aren't present in showroom vehicles.

wonder what that meant

Haha, aren't you supposed to be cheerleading this car instead of posting bad reviews? =D

The article isn't as negative as the headline and restates many of the other reviews already state.

I think they meant that a couple of the test cars had embarrassing misfits of trim that shouldn't have been there and aren't present in showroom vehicles. lol

It's relatively common for pre-production cars to have misfit trim. All of the kinks typically get ironed out by the time the plant goes live into production. They're just acknowledging it.

Take the sports package on this E-Class, for example.

I test drove the CLA recently, and felt it was a little under powered, and the interior had a lot of cheap plastic going on. The exterior on the other hand, was gorgeous. Prior to test driving it, my mind was already made up on going with the CLA (trading in 2006 325xi), but I am now heavily considering the 335xi. I also think BMW's navigation system is way better.

Big difference in a stock CLA and a 40k variant. I've owned a number of 3 series and I can say the CLA makes me happier.

Where I live, the BMW 3 series cars are more common that Hondas by a long shot. At least a CLA will be different with totally cool fresh design. I can't say the same about a BMW 3 series.

Well this is one shitty review in my opinion lol. Also there's a choice on how loud you can make the AMGs exhaust???? Can anyone confirm this????
