It is a great car and reliable.

I love my CLA. I have recently had an issue with the water pump which caused the car to overheat. However, the repair service was covered under warranty at the dealer. I have been to multiple Mercedes dealerships for services and always have a pleasant experience. Great car, great service. Well worth the price.

Christine S

In love with my red/sleek car.

My la 250 is reliable, comfortable, and beautiful/sleek. When I get my car serviced, it is always great at mercedes-benz. They take great care of you and the car. I love the back-up camera feature, as it helps me if I need to reverse park, or if I am in a weird parked situation where I am unable to see if another car is coming, or if people are walking past the car.

Terry W

It has a wonderfully smooth ride and ease of operation.

I love the styling of my car. I love the prestige of driving one of the known luxury cars. It has many safety features and a very smooth ride. Finally I love the exterior and interior styling.

ES S

Great car love what it offers!

Very comfortable, fast when it is in sport mode. Low maintenance. Great for people with kids! Drives well in the snow. Very good on gas mileage. Love the car I'll keep purchasing Mercedes Benz in the future. Also can fit a great Dane in the back seat she loves it as well.

Mercedes cla 250 review. Why I love it.

I love this car as it is the perfect size for me. If you have a family, I would not recommend it as it not spacious in the back. However, the interior is beautiful with its leather seats and unique features. It looks very sporty and I have it in white which is very pretty. The grill and the back of the car are awesome looking.

One of the most important things they should know is that it's eco friendly, so when we stop then the engine stops also.

The performance is great, it rides very smooth. The only thing is that it is low to the ground so it is much harder to go through any water.

Frank M

It is surprisingly powerful

I like the way it looks and the way it handles. The only complaint I have is that it was not wired for satellite radio

CLA-250 AMG sport vehicle

I love it so much!!! We rarely have any problems. The expenses for a Mercedes are cheap but they are worth it.

Taylor P

Mercedes-Benz model type car.

It is really fast and I am sure it has a sports mode so that is even faster if you like faster cars. Also a big sunroof but not much room in the back. Only four seats instead of 5. It is a 2 door and the seats move quickly back and forth for someone to get in the back.

My car - why you cannot use the backseat.

It is far too small - and the trim level inside is cheap and not well done. The exterior looks great, it drives very well, but the back seat is usable for normal human being. The options are terrific, it is quite efficient, and actually moves along the road in a way that most cars move and does not crash - it is easy to clean and easy to wash and easy to fill with gas and easy to start and easy to stop.

Highs and lows of Benz ownership.

The worst part is the cost to get things fixed. Tires are super expensive. The cost of each individual component is so high as well as labor costs. I love how the vehicle looks and the service but I do not think I'll buy another Mercedes Benz do to cost of upkeep.

Black leather interior, collision warning, tire pressure warning.

This car is very reliable and never gives me any problems at all. I've had this vehicle for 2 years now and the only thing I have been doing on it is oil changes and tire rotations. It drives really smooth.Wouldn't trade this vehicle for another car. Really good purchase.

Pros from Owners

Mich S.

Pros: sleek, elegant and sporty, at an affordable price. Coins. The seats are too high in the passenger compartment in the back seat. TALL people cannot ride comfortably. The door trim is not edged with the leatherette material all the way to the doors edges, making it possible to see the internal frame of the door. Looks inexpensive.

Cons from Owners

Mich S.

The front doors are not detailed well. The door frames are visible. They are painted and not upholstered, as one would expect from a luxury vehicle. It looks cheap and unfinished. The care is not as soundproof as it could be. It's not a street racer yet when going above 50 MPH, there is a lot of street noise.
