Best car I've owned so far.

This car is Comfortable, fast, and fun to drive. The interior is just gorgeous and the exterior shines better than any other car I've had. Everything about this car is luxurious. My next car will probably be a Mercedes also.

Best car I've owned

I have loved this car since the day I test drove it! I immediately knew I wanted to buy it and have been driving it ever since. It is fast, comfortable, and reliable.

Dream Car

I absolutely love this car. I was bale to purchase my favorite color which is blue. I have leather interior. It rides great. I just wish it has push start. Everything else is great. The car is a 2014, but it didn't give me that option.

Dependable/Reliable

I absolutely love this vehicle. My husband purchased it for me Valentine's Day before last. This is my first time owning a Mercedes but it most definitely will not be my last! It takes the highway smoothly and the gas mileage is awesome! I love everything about this car. The only thing I would change about this car ( if anything) would be the color. #mercedesbenzforlife -Sharon L.

Enjoying it so far!

I love it! I've only had the car a few days, so I don't have much to say yet. Used to have 230-SL.

My First Mercedes

I love this car! The exterior and interior are beautiful. I love all of the features of the car from the seats to the ambient lighting at night to the ability to change the driving style of the car. I love the fact that the car is not too small and not too large, but just the right size for me. I love the way the car drives, rides, and handles on the road. The panoramic sunroof is also a plus.

One of the worst

A 90's Honda Civic has better comforting seats than this. There is something wrong with the angle/ curve from the upper back and the headrest; close to 90 degrees. Not soft on suspension either. I've owned all kinds of cars and nothing comes close. CLA doesn't deserve a Mercedes logo. It should be called "Myback Hurts."

The perfect luxury alternative to an SUV

This car met all of my needs, with the latest in technology, from safety features (driver's assistance, blind-spot detection, even senses if you need to take a break from driving based on your pulse and eye movement!), to the interior navigation enhancements and decor. It is a perfect alternative to an SUV, and has quite the pick up!
