It has many lights so it will not feel dark and it has a sleek interior.
It can go super fast and also it can go super smooth it has many nice buttons to massage you or to move your seat so I really recommend buying this car cause it is super underrated. Also it has window on the roof to open and close it so you can feel more comfortable so I recommend buying this.

It is a great Mercedes for the price.
It does not have Wi-Fi in the model I own. And the ambient lighting is sparse. I wish there were more high end options.

The best car I have ever had.
It is amazing I haven't had any problems. It looks, great it is reliable, I feel safe I feel safe putting my daughter and my family in it. And the features are amazing. I am so happy I went with a Mercedes Benz. They are no comparison to any other car made.

It is easy and sufficient and so inexpensive to use.
I feel like it in so inexpensive but yet one of the best cars out for people to use at that cheap rate, it is so efficient and also saves you extra money I do not think they will be any like that. If I could buy a car again I would definitely buy this same product if car because it is efficient.

Love it! Great quality car.
I have had my vehicle for 2 years (it is a lease) and have not had any problems with it so far. It has a very cute exterior, which is perfect for someone young. It has a luxurious interior, featuring great, quality leather. I have it in white with black interior. Overall, I am in love!

That it is a very nice driving safe luxury car.
I love almost everything, especially all of the technology, the comfort, the look, and of course the safe driving experience. The only thing I dislike is the high price should it need anything. However, I purchased the extended plan...again to much money for it but love the car!

Amazing car for an entry luxury auto.
The Mercedes-Benz cla 250 is very comfortable, fast and it looks great! I love having a large sunroof and android auto in my car. I do wish the engine was more efficient as premium gas is not cheap these days. However, I love the way I feel when I drove my car.

The cla-250 is a great small car with maneuverability and comfort.
So far, this car has happily given me no problems and I have had it for almost two years. It is a little low to the ground and the trunk is kind of small but it is extremely comfortable and maneuverable. I love that it has apple CarPlay and the drive is super smooth.

My vehicle is a luxury car however it is not very special.
I have issues with my car because it is very small. Not only is it low to the ground but it is small and not very spacious in the interior. The performance is fine although I have noticed it making more heavy machinery sounds in the past year. Reliability it has not let me down yet. It is not very comfortable. The carplay feature is very faulty.

High performance car, limited interior space.
Problems- easily damaged/scratched. Performance- sport feature is a plus. Positive feature- care turns off when in neutral. Limited space to move inside of car so it feels very tight; will not recommend with those who suffer from claustrophobia. Otherwise, car drives smoothly on highway roads.

Cute but could be better inside.
The seats are really firm. It does not speed up as fast as I would like. My apple play never worked correctly in it. The backseat is very small. The body style is cute though, and the led emblem on the front is nice. I like the panoramic sunroof. There are a lot of blind spots in the vehicle.

Well, it's different. And at least I got it in brown!
I don't like the fact that though it's billed as a coupe it has 4 doors. But the ride is nice and the color is nice.
accountCircle Marle T
A bit too small and bumpy.
I like the car but it is a bit too small for my current needs. I would like a larger interior and trunk on my next model and have already contracted for a 2020 a class when my lease is up. The ride is rougher than I like as well. But I am thrilled with the quality of service that I receive from Mercedes Benz.
accountCircle Daniel B
I love the black interior of my car.
Beautiful car, runs great. I would recommend to all to buy. Good on gas and great miles to the gallon! Haven't had any problems with it so far! Rated number 1 in safety! Best car I have ever had in my life would highly recommend to all that are curious.

Mercedes Benz cla 250, I love it but please fix the tires.
The tire and the rims are an absolute disaster. I have spent over thousand dollars on it. I love everything else about the car. The engine is great, the pickup and mileage are fantastic. If Mercedes could fix the tires and the rim, this car would be a 5 on 5.
accountCircle Kacy C on May 29, 2021
Small but fast car. Has excellent gas mileage and pleasing to the eye.
Small cabin but very good gas mileage. Great power for such a small car. Great ride and easy to use. My only complaint is how small the car is. Everything else is wonderful and I love my car. It has apple carplay and blind spot alerts, which comes in handy.
