Mercedes has a new vehicle in their line-up, the CLA. This is Mercedes' attempt to draw in buyers like me and you..... starting at 33,900 it seems like luxury car-dom is within our grasp. This car is only about $6,000 more than my Optima before delivery and tax. So I mean who wouldn't pay $6,000 more to get a Mercedes over and Optima???
Well.... here's what you don't get on the base CLA, heated front seats, heated rear seats, cooled seats, automatic climate control, panoramic sunroof, or back up camera. That will be an extra $2,800 + tax or about $3,200 in total. So now we are at about $9,000 more than my Optima. But at least you get a rear wheel drive set up right, no not right, the new CLA is front wheel drive. It does out hp the Optima 208 to 200 and really out classes the Optima with 258 lb/ft compared to about 186. The CLA also gets super gas mileage, with a stated average 6.6 L/100km.
There are several good sites out there with good reviews on the new CLA however, the more you look into it I think the biggest competition comes from within.... To be continued.
