Review of my Mercedes Benz CLA 250
I am the second owner of the CLA 250 I call Heidi. She is a good car, but there are lot of little issues that Mercedes should be embarrassed about. She has had a lot of warranty issues, Which Mercedes fixed but still the build quality on the little Benz is not what one expects. I have had the horn stick twice, needless to say, I am not a fan of being embarrassed in traffic. Now I drive half afraid of hitting the horn. The Mercedes Original Pirelli tires lasted 30000 miles, in today’s technology that is just not acceptable. Then when they want a ridiculously high mark up to replace them is just salt in the wound.
The car drives straight, it has less insulation then other Benzes in the line up which is to be expected from the entry level. The styling is spot on. The fuel economy is very good which is the reason I purchased the car. I was a little put off by a lot of professional reviews of the car with people putting the car down and Motor Magazines wanting to destroy it. The Car is exactly what it is designed to be. An economic entry into the higher end of the market.
I will add more to the post as time goes on, but the car is safe, economical for a luxury brand, comfortable, and fun to drive. Isn’t that what a buyer wants?
