CLA 250

The CLA is so comfortable I hate to leave it when I reach my destination. The slightest push of the gas peddle will leave you breathless. Give yourself a treat go for a test drive at Mercedes Benz in Pompano off Copans Blvd and see Keith Donohue. You deserve it.

I love my CLA250 Sedan (4 doors!)

Although I got the bare bone (without the bells and whistles) I love the car. I took it to Vegas from LA and I did 41 miles per gallon. It is powerful when you need that extra kick, and very smooth. I wanted a GPS, but considering I have a smart phone, I save some money there. The trunk is roomy.

Ownership One Month

I am extremely happy I bought this vehicle. I was looking at Audi and BMW but decided on the Mercedes CLA because of the value and gas mileage. In one month, I have traveled 2500 miles. I find that I always get over 30 mpg average. The total average of all the miles I have driven have been 31.9 mpg. The best feature of the car on the exterior is the grill. It looks MEAN. I was very happy with the interior. I did have issues originally with the 7" screen not being in dash however now I wouldn't want it any other way. I went to Prestige in NJ on RT 17. It was not a pleasant experience. I do however feel that I had a "one off" problem that no one else would so I will not go into details. I got the Premium 1 pkg, Multimedia pkg and a rear spoiler.I paid $1,400 under MSRP because of the corporate "fleet" discount. I do not have a problem with the vehicle being front wheel drive. Sport mode is very fun. If I had a chance to look at the Audi A3 which comes out early next year I may have gone with that but you never know.

Gorgeous car, fast ride

I bought the Mercedes CLA a few weeks ago. The first thing that attracted me to this car was that it looks very sexy. It's sleek roofline and sculpted body reminds me a lot of the Mercedes CLS. And I love that front grille. The interior of the CLA is nicely appointed and looks even better with the ash wood trim. Although there are 3 seats in the back, they can be a little tight with 3 adults, but 2 people will fit nicely in the back. Also, the ride is surprisingly fast and comfortable. This car can really take corners nicely, it's very agile and light on its feet. I really love this beautiful car!
