    I owned a 2021 CLA 45 for the last 3 years until I traded it for a 2025 CLE (in the pipeline for production) My CLA had the Renntech engine mapping that boosted things to 456 HP and 384 LB-FT. It was so insane but in the end, the whole car was just too hardcore for my needs and tastes. Excellent review guys!

    B58 in an M240i or M340i is:
    1. Cheaper
    2. More reliable.
    3. More tuning potential.
    4. Provides better fuel economy.
    5. Sounds much better.
    That being said, 416hp from a 2 liter 4cylinder off the showroom floor is wild.

    audi dealers are saying the RS3 is launching in Canada around May this year so hopefully we will get a review between now and then. I think we are getting the Golf R refresh around then as well with the updated/less shitty infotainment and some other changes. Much more interested in those, personally. This is just too much money. They might be good value used after a few years of depreciation, though.

    In terms of the bucket seats, I notice that those with full leather say they’re comfortable, but those with the alcantara says the seats are hard and stiff. I’m guessing it’s the material and the stuffing inside the different seats? And the reason why I say this is because I have sat in the alcantara normal seats and they were hard and stiff too, and ive seen people with those seats saying the same thing. Perhaps it’s a difference in materials, not the seat style itself, given that these seats were in the old C63, AMG GT, etc, and nobody ever complained.

    I still have my 2015 Audi S3 Prestige (2.0 liter turbo) that I bought in 2018 with about 15K miles on it. I paid $28K for it, immediately upgraded the intake, engine hardware & Stage 2+ tune, exhaust, transmission hardware & tune, suspension, brakes, minor appearance stuff, etc. for about $7K in parts and tuning costs (I did all the work). So, I was all in at about $35K for a great handling and braking car with 400+ HP which does 0-60 in the low 3's, etc. It currently has about 56K miles on it now, and it has been a problem-free dream for every one of the 6+ years I've owned it. I'm not implying that it's the best car in the world, but it definitely makes me think that spending $80K+ for a new CLA 45s is ludicrous.

    Hi, I'm from south korea and I’ve put down deposits on both models and I’m still undecided. The CLA 45 S is available for immediate delivery, but I’m waiting for the matte grey one that’s arriving in March. The RS3, on the other hand, probably won’t be here until the end of the year. I’ve already test-driven the CLA 45 S since there’s a demo car available, but there are no RS3 units on display or for test drives here in Korea. That makes the decision even harder.
    If you were in my shoes, which one would you guys go for? The base price of the CLA 45 S is ₩88,800,000, but with the matte gray finish and red pepper seats, it comes to ₩94,300,000. In U.S. dollars, that’s approximately $65,400. As for the RS3, I don’t know the current price yet. Last year’s model was ₩77,700,000, which is about $53,900, but I can’t estimate how much the facelifted model’s price has increased this year.

    The 2026 CLA is going to a 1.5 liter hybrid for the base engine but I imagine they will carry over this engine. Interesting is the CLA EV will have 375 horsepower which I imagine will make it pretty fast.

    I traded in a cla 45 2023 for an ftype r75. I enjoyed the cla for a while, but I grew out of it- the speaker droning is annoying even on its lowest mode. After driving the ftype I understand what the amg speaker theatrics is trying to replicate.
