My 5th Mercedes, my first AMG

Having owned (leased) 5 other Mercedes, I was ready to step it up to the AMG line. No, it’s not “a real AMG” as it doesn’t have a hand built engine, but the 302hp is just enough to put a smile on your face. The styling of this car is outstanding. I have 19in black wheels but swap them out during the winter. The ride is a bit harsh but I’m not one who buys cars for the ride quality, as it’s a proper sports car. Interior and tech is crazy cool, although I “set it and forget it” and don’t really play around with all the features. MPG is great, i average 24. The only con is the transmission. I had the same Dual Clutch 7 speed in my 2014 CLA and didn’t like it. Same for the CLA35. It’s jerky, especially from a dead stop. There’s a noticeable lag before the clutch engages and the shifts can get confused, hesitating at times. Still does the job though. I’m used to the odd behaviors at this point. One other oddity was a random glitch in the software. While driving on the highway for over an hour, the car suddenly wouldn’t downshift and barely accelerated. In 4th gear it wouldn’t upshift. I pulled over, shut it off, waited 5 minutes and started it up again. The problem hasn’t occurred since. The dealership said unless a light pops on it was probably just a computer issues and turning it off/on again would solve it. Not very encouraging but like I said, it hasn’t happened again. And that was 7 months ago. It’s funny how you can get used to driving a fast(er) car. When I first got it I was blown away by its speed. No it’s just “ok” and I find myself wanting the CLA45 when my lease is up. We shall see. Overall, this is the perfect “starter AMG” that will seduce you quickly.

The car handles like a sports car, looks elegant, the inside of this car, makes me feel like I'm in a five star hotel, everything about this car leaves me in a place I like to be while driving. This car was traded in for a Cadillac, 2022.Sold this car, but would buy another if cash was available.
