Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 (2014-2016)

Driving the CLA is like dating a model. She's hot, you get stares, you feel good, your confidence is sky high; but just like the parallel drawn, there's a flip side. Response is slow and gearbox is clunky in town. Loud tyre roar and firm suspension means it's not an effortless mile muncher, either. Seductive, but you must know what you're getting into.

For
  • Head turning glamourous looks
  • Well chosen cabin trim, better than A200's
  • Frameless windows!
Against
  • Slow response from drivetrain
  • Gearbox below par in smoothness and speed
  • Cruising refinement could be better

DRIVEN: Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 - of flash and flaws
It wasn't that long ago when Mercedes-Benz had a lineup that was dismissed by anyone below 40 as "uncle cars". Yuppies would not want to be seen in one, lest they were mistaken for their dads. BMWs and Audis project...

CLA 200 (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 10.0 km/litre (10.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,200 km/month
    I came from Accord 2.4 (2004), and this CLA is definitely so much better than it.

    1. What I like about this car is its looks and safety assists equipment. The 4-door coupe makes it mesmerizing from almost every angle (too bad, CLA 200 doesn't equipped with AMG line, otherwise it would so so much better). Safety assists such as Auto Parking and total 10 sensors (front and rear) are very handy when you found a tight parking spot.

    2. The sporty interior makes you want to drive it everyday. The 2015 model has new steering wheels that looks identical to the new C-class. Besides that, it has new central screen which is much better than the previous, thick frame and small screen.

    3. Turbo lag is at its minimal, you can still feel it if you wanted to but in everyday driving, you won't really feel any turbo lag.

    4. Power is adequate for my everyday driving, I'm not a racer though.

    5. The handling is pretty decent, it is direct and accurate. turning corner with the Nepal wrapped leather steering makes you feel confident.
    1. Space for rear passengers are compromised for the sloppy roof top

    2. You need to depress the gas pedal more in order to get the power you want unlike the other cars. (But I find this somehow good in improving your fuel economy)

    3. The driver`s view is also a little bit compromised as a result of adhering the coupe-concept.

    4. The suspension is a bit harsh, it maybe because of its 18 inch wheels. Avoid any big holes you can or your run-flat tyre will easily punctured (happened to me). It costs 1K + to replace a brand new same tyre, take note.

    5. The air-cond system is a shame, for a 230k car, it only has single-zone climate control. Not only that, what I hate the most is that I can't see the temperature I set (if I am driving). Usually many cars will have the temperature display in the digital somewhere near the knob.
To improve
1. Dual-Zone climate control 2. KEYLESS-GO, or at least a push-start button as standard 3. Current driving mode is Eco, Sport and Manual but hopefully they will have Comfort for this model to balance the driving comfort.
Yes, I would recommend this car
