If they had them in the USA.... AMG A45 S
But...that aeroThe first gen was just a terrible car. A friend had a CLA45 for a few months and got rid of it. Awful lag, awful transmission, awful suspension. Reminded me very much of a friend's F355 with the terrible F1 transmission. It was fun at 10/10ths, but absolutely useless acting like a normal car.
I've heard the new ones are supposed to be a little better, and the transmission greatly improved, but they're also very tight inside, even the GLA45 is smaller in the hatch than a GTI.
Darn. Swing and a miss lol. They're pretty slick looking cars and have impressive specsThe first gen was just a terrible car. A friend had a CLA45 for a few months and got rid of it.

Find one at CarMax and give it a go. Report back. They're hilarious at full tilt, but feel like my old Eclipse GS-T waiting on the turbo to join the party if you're just trying to jump into a spot in traffic. And the transmission seems designed to work exactly opposite of whatever your intentions are.Darn. Swing and a miss lol. They're pretty slick looking cars and have impressive specs

They don't sell them in the US unfortunately. Based on looks and specs alone this is one of my "realistic dream cars".Find one at CarMax and give it a go. Report back.

AHAHAHAHA.....I have always been a lurker there after owning a 2007 WRX......Subies almost never lose value, but sometimes they're just outrageous. Fozzies are becoming hard to find, especially in that body. That with a built motor? Awww yeah!$20K for a 13 year old Subaru that comes with a rebuilt motor--just not installed. Should be easy to enough to sell the wife on that![]()
I have no doubt somebody will buy it.....too many Subie Fozzy fans out there.View attachment 186248
That Subaru dude if it actually sold.
The CLA is the same thing without the hatch and the GLA is the same thing with a two inch lift. Think of it like the RS3 hatch vs the sedan and the RS Q3.They don't sell them in the US unfortunately. Based on looks and specs alone this is one of my "realistic dream cars".
