The CLA has been getting mixed reviews and has been feeling the wrath of us forum users recently. The issues center around whether the CLA is going to be damaging to Mercedes-Benz' brand image and reputation.
Critics have called the driving experience lack luster, the backseat not very spacious, and the car being all show and little substance.
I think that people are judging the car pretty hard though (myself included.) We have to remember that the price of this MB is much lower than any other, and as such we have to lower are expectations from what we would normally expect to see from a MB.
I guess my question is are we judging the CLA unfairly because of its badge? If this were a generic car and we had no idea what company made it, would we still be as harsh in our criticism?
