Mercedes performance?!

I like everything about the vehicle except two things. 1. From a standing start in Eco mode with start/stop disengaged the vehicle launches due to lag when you step on the accelerator. 2. There is a lag when you use paddle shifters in Manual mode and the vehicle over-revs. In my opinion these two issues are not safe.

Best economy sedan / coupe we have. Up to 36 mpg.

Very peppy, 4 cyl turbo yields power AND economy. The engine off feature at traffic lights is very smart. The brake hold is also excellent.

Driving with clouds

This was an amazing car to drive. It felt very smooth I barely put my foot on the gas and it was going. The steering was very responsive. I would have loved to buy it although the price was way out of my range. The inside was leather and comfortable I could easily fall asleep sitting in the passengers side it was a nice drive.

Worst car I ever owned

I bought a CPO 2014 CLA 250 in August 2017. In the following 8 months it was in for repairs 5 times. The transmission was erratic and it suffered from multiple "check engine" failures. Most unreliable car I ever owned -- and I once owned a 1976 MG Midget.
