Cheap cars. Cheap quality.
Don't get caught up on that. It's still a crap system in the mercs. Outdated already.
well depreciation is going to be around 20k so i would only lose 10k after a few years... still better than some cars.
again i am not concrete on the CLA i am literally asking for advice on more models as i dont know what to research, thankfully some users like @NVP actually contribtue and provide reasonable suggestions
If you do make sure you also go for a spin in the 220/250 petrol or the 220D and you will notice the massive difference between the engines and understand what people are trying to get across. The CLA to go for is the 220 4matic, i ended up getting the 220D (company car list is pretty short! only Volvo, Jag, Range Rover and Merc) ive only had it a couple of days and its on par with the C Class i had to give back. The Mbux system is one of the best ive used and in the last 2 months i have test driven BMW 3 series and Volvo XC40/60.im going to test drive it over the weekend ill know if its **** or not
2009, i'm 33 now. WTF were you doing buying an m5 at 25 grandad. Living up north seems fairly cheap for insurance.What decade was this? I paid 3.3k at 25 for an M5
The behaviour on this forum is absolutely disgusting. Come back here when you gain some self respect.
Just for more fun the CLA 180 1.3 engine is joint partnership with Renault, does that not knock off 20pts off its "badge" coolness?
Apologies but I was just speaking my mind.
You say you are clearing 2k a month savings. In two years you will have 50k deposit which is massive. I had 36000 saved when I was 22. Several temptations and test drives but glad I made the right choice. Have made 50k on the house going over the past ten years. If I had bought a car it would be worth 10k tops.
This is correct, the gearbox in the 180/200 is also getting a reputation for being a bit of a 'slush box'. The 220 and the 250 both use Mercedes engines and gearboxes are, according to what I have seen, much better. Certainly the new A series 180 I drove was simply awful and had no refinement, however the 200 CLA was far better. Certainly enough for me to place an order for the 250..Just for more fun the CLA 180 1.3 engine is joint partnership with Renault, does that not knock off 20pts off its "badge" coolness?
Anyway as mentioned in my previous get yourself hot-hatch or 3 door coupe, if you really need 4 doors then hot-hatch is the way forward.
If you really want stand out and want "cool" factor, very low depreciation then get yourself a JDM import..something like the FD2 Type-R which has 4 doors and they look cool.
