Excellent sports car
Coming bmw 335i and e46 m3, this is my second mercedes. I had 2006 e500 before. Cla45 amg exceeded my expectations. It is fast, very quick at low rpms, great handling - make sure to change the stock tires with michelin performance ones. The interior is great and comfortable. Larger than a coupe but sportier than a 4 door. AMG exhaust is a must. I love it after owning it over a year.

Excellent Car, exceeds my expectations!
I bought this car last week with about a 46k sticker price, fully loaded. I absolutely love the car. Great ride, handling, and overall a solid car. This car has exceeded my expectations. Interior quality is above par, the lighting both inside and outside is sophisticated. Very quick for a 4 cyl. The only thing I am getting used to is the ECO start stop feature, and the fact that I seem to be getting about 22mpg city right now, but have been told it just needs to break in first. Anybody who seems to review this car in a negative way is just holding standards too high. I mean, the car does start at 30k, so what do you expect....its clearly not an 85k car. But I couldn't be happier.

Wouldn't buy again!
Base model FWD with 57K miles made from Miami to Anchorage AK in December. After about a week, I was warming it up and cleaning snow and I've noticed how MB is moving back and forward while parked, about 2 inch. Scary symptoms if dealers' charging $180 for diagnostics. Okay. After about 3 weeks, the clear coat started pealing (rear bumper first, them roof and sides). Car looked like crap. A month and 1/2 later, the window won't go all the way up and stayed open about 1 inch. It fixed itself later (you can push it up with your bare hands). In February (2-nd month in Alaska), the check engine light came off! I took it to a dealer (there's only one dealer in Alaska) and they told me that "it's going to be around $1,500 to remove the light". I can remove the light with black electric tape, this is how I removed it in my E320. Snow gets in the engine , since there is no engine cover in the middle and you can loose your O2 sensor. Dealer said, he can tell me the problem after I pay $180. Idle was okay (not O2 obviously), gas cap? There are a few ways to clear Check Engine light but I was tired of dealer's bs. Decided not to buy another Mercedes younger than myself. Dealer knows about weather issues. Mercedes probably didn't test it in cold hangar. Advice? I don't have it for you because you will buy it regardless.

Regret!!!!
I bought this car when I was 25,(the car was 3 years old at the time), and recently had driven/owned other brands before. This by far has the crappiest quality of any car I have financed. The interior sometimes rattles from who knows where, the Harman Kardon speakers need replacing again, I don’t even play music THAT loud, and the 18” run flat tires on their thin profile make for a harsh ride! The transmission is jerky at times and frustrating and the car is slow af in its regular economy mode, but yet in sport, while it is fast, just doesn’t seem consistent. The eco start/stop feature stopped working at 50k miles and started working again once the battery got replaced...at only 4 years old. Sigh
