Alex R

Great, reliable vehicle for everyone

I love my car. It may not be the newest car on the market, but it is comfortable and reliable. I have had no problems with it since it was purchased USED.

About my Mercedes Benz CLA 250

Only one problem so far after 55000 miles, the throttle position sensor. Fantastic fuel economy, nice power, great torque. Excellent value. Happy owner.

Elle Z

Car looks great on the road.

I am very satisfied with this car overall, especially for the value. It is a nice exterior and looks more expensive than it is. The one complaint is that the suspension could be better - it is low on the ground and you feel it when you go over bumps in the road.

Camille E

I like the sport style, the leather seat is very comfortable.

Honestly, I do not have any problem in my car. It is very comfortable to drive, I like how powerful the battery is. The car drives fast, you have different options, economic, sport, or manual. I usually use the economic option but really like the sport option too.

Char L

Best little cla 250 ever known.

The car has been a great little sedan for me. Although it is a coup, I love that it has four doors. My two boys fit well in their respective car seats and the interior has weathered a lot of mess. My features have been reliable in the time I have had my car, as well.

Catherine S

It has best braking system I have ever driven and has great handling.

It is fun to drive, looks good, great gas mileage. It is comfortable to sit in. Back seat is small but don't usually have more than two people in vehicle.

Mill W

Apple is my life. Go BENZ!

No major issues. Recent airbag recall. Great seats and very comfortable. I would prefer a new sound system.

Christina C

Car of my dreams and Mercedes is her name.

My Mercedes is so reliable, whenever any problems on the car happens it always gives me a warning signal. I have driven on multiple road trips and it is very comfortable and great on gas! It probably takes me about $25 to fill up my tank. I love my car and Mercedes, I am definitely a Mercedes girl for life.

Negative Owner Reviews

Chastity N

Basically it's a Mercedes, there's nothing left to explain. . Top notch!

The starter goes out a lot in this vehicle. It's not easy finding the write parts for cheap. Battery goes bad quite often, even though the outside looks good the inside could use some help.

Yvon A

Low overhead clearance good for short person not so good for tall person

The water pump went on the vehicle at less than 40k miles and the air conditioner blower had to be replace.

Tamara J

The car that isn't perfect but isn't terrible at the same time

It's cool the has problems every so often but it works good the only main issue is leakage it's easy to go to and from places. It's a very detailed car with noisy air condition and great place to park and charge your phone. I love this car because it's cool and comfortable and big

Alfredo K

It's a safe car that can be trusted to carry loved ones in it.

I like the color of the car. I like the year and model of the car. I also like the gas mileage. It also has good quality tires.

Tony B

A great car for a single person just starting out as it looks good and drives.

I like the car it drives great it is reliable and looks good but it is a little small on the inside. The technology within the car is good as well. It is not the fastest car in the world but it is a smooth ride. I would recommend this car to anyone that does not have a family as it is to small to lug a family around.

2014 cla45 AMG Mercedes.

No major problems, great performance, very reliable and fast..Ride is good, acceleration great, real good gas mileage..Color still is in great condition along with being quiet..Service department does a great job and keeps really good records. I will recommend this car a lot.

Cindy L on April 1, 2021

I was amazed to find out that i get 35+ miles per gallon when utilizing the ECO mode.

The car is very comfortable in my opinion. However, I am only 5 feet and space is not an issue. Whenever I have passengers, the car is tight. I also don't like that there's more blind spots than normal. Other than that, the car drives very smoothly and I have no other complaints.
