x2, would love to see what he did.
I think it's just natural for someone into the CLA to like a car like the 350Z.
Would be interesting to see what his is like, just to get an idea of what he may do to the CLA.
CLA Test Drive: Eco vs Sport
Took the CLA for a boot yesterday, still not fully sold but here are a few observations...
Trying to get some more seat time with it but my dealer has a pretty full roster of test drives... Would like to get into a 4Matic equipped CLA and see if that changes anything..
- ECO mode is a joke. Stop start is jerky and downright annoying.
- Sport mode is quite peppy and the flippers move you up and down easily enough, still want the third pedal but thats moot at this point.
- Got it up to 60 mph quick enough, was well on my way past 100 before the salesboy lost his head and asked me to please slow down.
- The turbo is powerful enough to feel V6ish yet there's no mistaking the FWD, torque steer isnt a problem per se but you can definitely feel the CLA grab the wheel from you.
- As some of the others have mentioned, the CLA is narrow.

Yup, CLA compared to the ILX, the CLA is a step up, the more mature crowd will be in the CLA or at least those that can afford it. The rest will get an ILX or even worse a Verano.yea thats what I'm thinking, at the $30K starting for the CLA there are plenty of cheaper and faster options one could pickup with change left over to grab a few go fast goodies. Plus Mercedes are notoriously complicated to work on, not something your average wrench could or should fiddle with in the driveway.
I think the CLA is targeting those that have grown out of their boy racer phase, Acura still makes the ILX for that type of gig....
