Used 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Consumer Reviews

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
