Gas tank has limited reserve so put gas before the fuel runs out. Front lights are too strong at night time and drivers coming from the opposite direction tend to think that the car has high beam on. Not a bad car to have actually but there are improvements that can be made to make it even better... Updated review on 8/12/16 Terrible car. Avoid at all costs. I wish I had gotten a different car...

My 2015 mb cla 250 engine burned. Mechanic said due to small water outside the engine that causes hydro lock mulfuction and the engine on fire. I never drove into a deep water. Never buy a Mercedes Benz again. I was happy with my Lexus right now.

Overall very satisfied. Safe, plenty of power but had I known a 37K was worth about 22k for trade in on new 18 months after purchase, I would have looked harder at an Accord V-6.

.cla250 is a girl car

It has a peculiar effect on women. They settle in to those bucket seats, take in the standard M. B interior then they go MMMM! Like someone just hugged them. Im not kidding I have seen it happen a few times, starting with my wife. It is smaller than most MB models and women fit in to it better. The styling is good too, a couple of times pepole just passing by have said, "Pretty car" ! I always sit in that very adjustable front seat, set to my personal positions so it fits me well too. What I look for is that 0-60 in in 6.3 pickup. That is from the dual clutch robot manual transmission. This thing is faster off the line than most cars. I have not had the chance yet to see if the top end is really 150 like they say. So women like the styling and I like the performance. A great car for the price. After I became disabled I traded my wife for it. I drive her SUV because it is handi capable and she has the cla250 now. She loves it.
