I love how it looks and my parents are rich lol I could have got a 2012 c63 but it just looks so fucking basic. If I was badgewhoring Id pick the C63, a car I didnt enjoy, or a CLA - a much more youthful and nicely looking car imo however with more hate because of the engine and cheap price.

I obviously dont care about people thinking im poor because im not lol so there was nobody to impress, I just love(d) how it looks

Thank you. First legit piece of advice I've gotten.

Idk, i still dont think it looks bad tho. I prob wont do it since its my dd

Don't listen to these faggots.
The CLA is a great car and it's really nice looking, especially the shooting brake.

>Should I paint my CLA red like tron and darken the black likes and change rims to black to match dark back lights (like pic related)

Nope, you should wrap it on frozen dark grey and call it a day.
>>
>>14770874

Am I 75 or something?

>>14770958
>hard plastic is automatically cheap
No, just no. Just because there's some use to it, it doesn't mean the interior is cheap. Actually, I prefer some well fitted hard plastic to faux leather.
As for panel gaps, never noticed it.

Yeah, Mercedes probably plays the badge trump card on the CLA a bit, but it doesn't make it a bad car. Far from it.
>>
>>14770985
Because an Accord is actually a nicer car? Are you really that much if a badge whore that you're willing to accept poor value for a 3 pointed star?
>>
>>14770874
Thanks senpai, you mean like this?
>>
>>14771002
They aren't even in the same segment, why would you compare both?
And no, I'm not a badge whore but I really like how the CLA looks, and even though it might not be worth what Mercedes asks for it, it's a good car.

>>14771011
Kind of, something like pic related but a bit darker.
>>
>>14771039
LOL wtf? I know exactly where that pic was taken. That's funny. And yeah I will prob get it wrapped a darkish grey-much less flashy than the tron

Thanks

Yeah, dark greys, especially matte ones, look great on these teardrop mercs.

You're right, but poverty spec luxury cars and high end economy cars can be cross shopped since they're in the same price range

Or just get an ILX, it's basically a Civic Si with a DCT and a nicer interior

As far as I know, Honda is pretty much dead in Europe. At least continental Europe.

CLA is an embarrassment.

I respect Accord owners for choosing a sensible car with decent amenities over a CLA, which 99% of owners buy just because of the badge.

The CLA is proof that Mercedes can put a star on dogshit and people will buy it.
>>
>>14771141
There's no market for such a thing here.
If you have some money and don't want to go full executive, you buy a loaded Golf or an A3, A Class, 1 Series.
And if you don't have that much money to load a german car with decent equipment you still buy european, not japanese.
That's why Subaru, Mitsubishi, etc died here.
Only Nissan seems to sell reasonably well, mainly Jukes and Qashqais.

>>14771165
It's an entry-level Mercedes. What'd you expect? A S-Class for 30k?
>>
>>14771142
>>14771165
You're fucking retarded. If someone was buying a Mercedes for the badge they would buy a 10-20k used Benz. CLA is an entry level Merc (like Audi S3, 3 series) designed FOR young buyers.

And most young buyers (that dont have autism) dont want a fucking Honda Accord or Toyota Prius.

I have never seen a CLA driver older than 20. That's pretty much the purpose of the car.

What special equipment does a loaded CLA come with that isnt also available on a Civic?
>>
>>14771254
Not him but my parents gave me their 1990 300E (W124).

Was a decent car except for all the electrical issues. Shop had to completely remove the antenna when the actuator started freaking out and shorting the entire electrical system.

Vacuum hoses were always a bitch.

A/C of course stopped working. Too much money to get fixed, but then the window motor for the front drivers seat died.

Water pump froze and busted every winter like clockwork. this was in fucking North Carolina, not Antarctica.

This was all in 1999, which made it a 9-10yo car.

And even the most expensive Civic will be several thousand cheaper than the shittiest CLA
And for the same price you can get an Accord that the same if not better made and equipped because it doesn't have badge tax

The CLA is a horrible car for the price. The 250 is underpowered, cheaply built, and FWD. Why people buy CLA250 when a regular C300 is a few thousand more is beyond me. IMO if you can't afford a few more thousand, then you really shouldn't be buying a Mercedes. An Infiniti or Acura might be more your speed in that case.
>>
>>14770933
The CLA's interior is just a step above a Mustang. It's about on par with an Accord.

>>14770985
>Why the fuck would I buy an Honda Accord?
Well it's faster, cheaper, built better, and more reliable.

>I prefer some well fitted hard plastic to faux leather
Except it's not well fitted.

>>14771292
>For starters it doesn't look like a futuristic turd
The CLA looks as cheap as the Civic. The body lines and paint look incredibly cheap in comparison to the nicer paints you can find in other Mercedes, Audis, BMWs, and Lexuses.

If I'm getting it for me and not for other people is that so bad? Yes they're the cheapest, but that's not the only reason you'd get it.

I can afford an a7, but I dive an s4 because of the size. Not everyone is a badgewhore, snon.

AWD? You mean FWD until it detects slip. It's the same type of system used in all "AWD" economy cars.
