    Getting this strong vibe that you're not enjoying this car at all... if you're driving something that makes you worry about running costs all the time then I don't think it's a car for you and if you think your car is already outdated then it's definitely not for you.
    If you're buying a car for the aesthetics you're going to get bored of your car REAL quick because there are constantly new cars/models coming out every year that's going to have more power, more technology & better looking. Good luck!
    You should get something that's gonna put a smile on your face every time you get in and not think about all the $$$ thats involved.

    You don't seem to very enthusiastic about the car! All I can say is that I've had mine for 3 years, I have added a tuning chip, a bigger air intake, and a bigger intercooler. I take it to the track and drive it hard once a month. Only one single fault - a thermostat that was replaced under warranty. It's been so good that I've ordered a new one, mainly for the race mode and the diff lock. I love the car.

    Steve Givelas this car consumes less gas than my old 2011 Mazda 3.. my CLA45 is 2017 but i can get over 30mpg with some full throttle on the freeway.. this car is probably the highest MPG for a performance car period. For you to get very low mpg, you have to either have a bad habit of driving such as unnecessary brake, unnecessary high throttle or you full throttle all the time. This car can consume as little gas as a Camry if you have good driving habit. Not to mention the car has start/stop mode in traffic and “sailing” mode where you cruising along which saves tremendous gas.

    Those 5 reasons for selling will be applied to anything else in this segment. Have you considered a leasing option. Side note, are ALL cars today disposable? Seems no one wants to keep anything outside the short warranty, and the manufacturers that offer a standard 5yr or more warranty aren't "premium: enough.

  • @jtjt7337
    @jtjt7337 6 лет назад +6

    Those issues that you discuss are very minor and happens to many brands in warranty and that's just what warranty is for.
    The only concerning thing for me in these cars is the gearbox but even then I've never actually read about one completely failing at all. Some car brands have had gearboxes that actually explode gears! This one has none of that but must admit the gearbox is my concern. There are like zero reports of any engine failure so it's a beast in that department. Very few if any reports of faults with the brakes, or suspension. Those being the major components, they are largely bullet proof. Niggling problems sorted in warranty yes, but big ticket items so far non existent even with 100k km CLA's.

    • @DrivesbyZH
      @DrivesbyZH  6 лет назад

      Turbos are a very common issue with this engine - to get this amount of power from such a small engine the boost pressure is ran at a very high level and I have known plenty of them to go from other owners

    • @jtjt7337
      @jtjt7337 6 лет назад +1

      Zubair Hoque OK yeh that's true. I've seen those reports but also all sorted under warranty and usually found in warranty and I do believe that a factory recall went out for it. I think they sorted it for the facelift though (I've got one with 30k km and even run a piggyback tune and it goes pretty hard now). So it was sorted, I'm quite sure. It's a good point though that you make, I did forget about that one. Even then though, honestly I'd be very happen if I owned this car for say 5 years and the only thing that went bang on me was the turbo. New one plus install, so long as you don't go with merc, can probably be had for around $2.5k which isn't so bad for a longer term ownership and a sports car in expensive brand. Sorry to draw a hypothetical there.
      I agree, you're right. Turbos blown on the earlier CLA's is at thing. Get one replaced under warranty and you should be all sorted there.

    At legal speed, on Belgian roads, driving short distances in town requires twice as much gaz than longer trips... with EU policy, my next car will be full thermic, European and with a serious engine (might be the last), seriously thinking about GLA AMG 45 s suitable as à family car, Mercedes-amg will replace many V8 by electrified V4 in the near future, good for the future service on the V4! The paradox, for the health of my engine, I will use more walk and public transport for my small moves! I know it will be expensive (the cost of tires is just one example) , the price to pay for pleasure cars that will soon not be available anymore ! If the décision had to be the more rational and cheapest possible with a good car, I would dig in the KIA catalogue...and its 7 years waranties.

You feel it when its cold especially when the plastik rings in the cockpit make noise And start crackling. The Second Reason is the small guy in the gearbox that kicks in my ass everytime it Shifts slowly down at a Traffic light when u reduce the Speed. The transmission in Comfort is so awfull... when u Push the Gas pedal down to soft it wouldnt move and if u push to hard it shoots u down the Street 😂 Man i guess i‘m to old for this car.. im 27 and the Next will be a panamera or a SUV i Need more comfort. Im Sure im Not going to buy a mercedes again, as u say in this video Audi is absolutely fantastic.

    The CLA has an appalling quality. Just make the car feel cheap which it isn’t. Fucking AMG needs to sort their shit out. Imagine some poor bugger had to replace parts after the warranty runs out. Surely the dealer won’t cover it because most of them are just assholes.
