i would want the sedan. but at $50k-55 loaded properly.. naw.
You mean R&T? lol
For 50k fully loaded I'll take a BMW 335 any day of the week...
The 335xi starts at approx $45,000. And that is before adding any packages or M-Sport bits. It will take much more coin to make the 335xi anywhere near as fun to drive as I suspect this CLA will be.
The only reason the CLA45 is AWD is because it is a FWD car and 350hp is way too much and will fry the front wheels/tires.
No need for that on the 335, that's just extra weight.
Well i test drove the A45 AMG today. Only got an 20 minutes drive since the dealership had an AMG performance day and people where lining up to try it. The car it's rapid all right, gearbox kinda sucked i auto mode, manual mode was ok. Car sounds good, loud even without the sport system nice farts on full throttle upshifts .
Liked the looks on it, didn't like the quality of the interior. The interior was rattling quite a bit. Told the dealer that a car in that price range should not have an interior that sound like it should fall apart. Dealer told me that it was a "pre production car" and blamed it on that.
