Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class 2013 (Parallel Imported)

I collected the 2016 CLA180 Shooting Brake 3 months ago.

Dis the Smallest M.B.I have ever own ,capacity Wise & power wise .Owns a C180k before & dat do give pretty decent horsepower but dis X117 have rather Low HP onli 120 plus but it's alrite.

U wans more ,Step MORE.

I Juzz step off from a A200 .Basically they are of the same engine but it seems it fits the CLA better ,it's Smoother & Quiter .

Amaze at the Difference.

The Suspension is Stiff like most Modern Mercs nowadays but it's so much better than the W176 I have earlier & I did change the Shocks of both .

Original M.B Sach .

There's always some sound under the Chassis & it's a bit Noisy on the move .

One of the onli 2 Mercs dat I own,inspect the Rear head room first before anything else.

It's the GLC coupe & dis Shooting Brake .

Nvr did I consider the coupe of tha CLA ,Dunno why.

It is what it is.

Actually I have been a Fan of dis Wagon for a Long time but it's onli recently dat I need the space for those Auntie trolley dat u see folks used in the market .

Yes,M.I.L needed the space for her Trolley & she's Not too keen on my GLC .

Oh well

Happi Mother in Law ………Happi Life.

What I like :

•I am always imagine myself in a wagon

•The engine is Quiet

•FC is not bad ,1 Litre 11km

•Pretty Spacious for an Entry Level Merk.

•Everything good,can imagine Me Renewing its COE

What I dun Like :

•Road Noise

•Insulation not so good

Overall Rating:

Best coupe, I have been driving this car for 2years and I really love the interior and exterior of this vehicle. Drive is extremely smooth and reliable!

Bought the CLA coupe because of the style and exterior. 2 months old and started to give me issues i.E.: whistles when I drove at 120km into KUL. Cycle and Carriage said they can't help coz they can't test drive in SG coz speed limit is 90km. I complained to the agent and went in for a 2nd check. Took 1.5 weeks. Again same issue. Have sent in the car again. It's the 2nd week now. No news.

Sleek exterior, soft comfy seats, large enough boot space, able to play music from cable and blue tooth. Nice double tab on break for "park" purpose, useful especially at traffic lights. Nice interior lights at door that can be adjusted for brightness.

Lousy pick up compared to my Audi.

Whistle sound till now it's not resolved.

Worst technicians and customer service at Cycle and Carriage Pandan Loop service centre! Unprofessional and lack the technical skills to resolve this issue.

Last thing I would like to be told is to live with this sound coz they can't test drive within SG to verify the sound and there's nothing they can do???

Sales pitch excellent, after sales, sucks big time!

Never recommend anyone to buy a Mercedes.

My very first luxury conti coupe which ticks all the right boxes!

Very surprised by the design (inside & outside), performance, fuel consumption, safety, accessories, the list goes on..

Very impressed with the built quality of Merc and the drive is so cosseting that most occupants either fell asleep or simply carry a winsome smile throughout the journey.

Very elated to own such a car as the drive is silky smooth that I can have the space to gather my thoughts while driving between home and office and in between meetings.

Bought my CLA through Swee Seng Motors with the assistance provided by Peter and Mae. I am well pleased with their services-Sincere, Honest, Reliable, Client-Centric and On time.

A decision which I never regretted.

1. Design

2. Silky smooth Engine & 7 DC Transmission (linear and not jerky)

3. Safety

4. Handling (maintain a tight 3-point turn or cornering)

5. Surprising Spacious interior (can seat four adults and 1 child)

6. Nice Boot space (470L)

7. Affordable Road Tax

8. Fuel Efficient

9. A very good choice for young executive or young family man

1. Column gear shifter needs time for familiarization (feels like a high class lorry or pickup driver and occasionally mistook the shifter as wiper)

2. Getting into the rear seats need some adjustment (may bang your head into the low roof.. a trade-off for a coupe design)

3. Glove boxes at doors are kind of small

4. C-Pillar blind spot need some time to adjust. (due to nice high back front passenger sports seat)

5. Generally, CLA has more likes than dislikes.

Extremely sporty car. Loved the shape and the front muscular look.

Interior is decent but didn't like the seats

The car at 121hp is OK but found it to be noisy esp so on hard driving

Somehow felt that the car did not have enough power when needed

No rear aircon and rear legroom is not good at all

Love the sporty look

Mececeds badge

front muscular look

Noisy and bumpy ride

Suspension is hard

Not enough power

very poor rear room

I was viewing the C Class and the SE was trying to recommend me the CLA due to the more attractive price point.

The driver side is quite cramp and headroom is low. The rear legroom and Headroom is worst. Almost bump my head trying to get in. Guess that is why it is positions as a "Coupe". Visibility through the front windshield is low.

Happen that I have two colleagues, one brought the CLA and the other A class. When their vehicles are parked close together, the CLA seems like an extended version of the A Class with a boot.

Front design is sporty, but MB did a bad job with the back.

For this price point, there are definitely better options.

1. Front Styling - aggressive & sporty

2. Built Quality - especially the interior

3. Some great features e.g. Park Assist

1. Low Front Headroom and cramp driver seat

2. Very low back headroom and legroom

3. Design of the back is a let down

4. An A class in disguise

Im medium built and i find this car really small , which is why i rate the interior average although the interior finishing is quite superb. There is barely leg or head room at the back. Definitely not suitable as a family car.

handling was very decent

good quality both interior and exterior

small interior

engine struggled when pushed with 3 person in car

Probably the exterior styling that i liked best during my car shopping...But was very disappointed with the entire package. This is a hatchback in disguise. I am impressed by the quality of the interior but disappointed with the tiny space. A very strange feeling when i walk away from testing the pre-owned unit...I love it and yet i hate it soooo much.

- exterior styling. would be 5 stars if not for the awkward rear design.

- handling is very decent but some room to improve

- engine response is surprisingly good, left like it had more than stated.

- interior is typical of current Merc..nice layout and top quality sticted leather. everything down to the buttons feels top quality!

- severe lack of space. driver side feels cramped.

- backseats have virtually no headroom.

- felt like a racerboy car wannabe

This is is first time going into conti car. I test both CLA180 & C180. CLA given me a very sporty feeling. During when driving fast speed is ok but slow it tends to be a little not smooth like keep on shifting the gear box.

I like the sporty & sleek design

Not so good feel when driving slow speed.

I used to think that Mercedes are for towkay only; however the CLA has change my thoughts. It has the sportier looks, and the interior finishes are not those typical boring wood grain but of those AMG likes. Definitely for the young professional whom is seriously looking for a sport car without hurting their pocket!

If only there is built in GPS by default it will be flawless...

Went to the the Mercedes showroom and saw the stunning car on the 2nd floor of the showroom.Test drove the model also.

Interior design and everything

Ride is hard and in the rear , there is not much headroom

i test drove this model. i think it was a 1.6 turbo. torque was fine, acceleration not great but still ok for overtaking. when pushing the engine to its limits, it feels breathless, especially above 4k rpm. cabin was a bit cramp for taller people, especially in the back. dashboard wise, slightly more sporty than the average merc. ride was comfortable, usual merc standard of seats. petrol heads would want to avoid this car as it doesnt give much steering feel, feels abit sluggish at high speed and visibility is not great either. otherwise, its good enough to cruise in. looks are subjective, i myself dont really like it because the idea of a mini cls seems flawed to me.it isnt long enough nor big enough to pull the facade off.

great interior

sporty dashboard

front wheel drive

not enough power

low cabin

unengaging steering
