This video is spot on. Anyone who has ever owned a previous Mercedes or BMW is well aware of what going on with these vehicles. Has nothing to do with the vehicle being entry level, the cars are just getting way shitier. Since when are huge door gaps an "entry level" feature? Mercedes Benz used to have pride behind their cars. The kid is absolutely correct, 10 years ago this car would be considered unacceptably inferior as a MB product. The way these cars are put together nowadays, you can touch most of the plastic in the dashboard and itll flex with the slightest pressure. What's next, an entry level MB with passenger manually winding windows, right? Overall accurate video.
But I like to rub my legs and it's so CHEAP lol... *the bitching continues in the next episode,don't miss the bitching it gives you the energy you need*!
guys let stop talking shit! first of all how much is a CLA??? IT CHEAP comparing to other Mercedes-Benz come on guys, CLA it for middle class people who love Mercedes...
Remember, this is basically a coupe version of the a-class. And these cars a meant to be entry-level Mercedes, as you mention. They could have made this super luxury, but then it would be at a much higher price point. And then you lose the whole idea of a entry level car
Completely rubbish statement 6 years after they redesigned the car. A-class is totally a different car than the CLA and is performing way better than some high end luxury cars out there.
Why didn't dad buy him an S class then? Mercedes are coaxing younger people to their brand with the A class. But not 16 year old children who probably don't even shave yet. 99% of this age bracket don't have 40K to buy this car. i also don't spend my time fondling the lower parts of my doors, cos my hands are usually on the wheel, driving. This is a one or two person car, perhaps with two small kids. Not meant to be for cruising with your teenage mates. This video seems to be just a reason to nitpick for nine minutes.
Alex G: Quality does not matter to those whom seek to be materialistic. A CLA for 33k is rather cheap for what you're getting, a Mercedes Benz badge. The CLA is not a car, it's a symbol. It shows people you can afford a 'luxury' brand. Sure, at 33k you don't get a fast engine, a sunroof, or even LED headlamps, BUT YOU GET A BENZ. It's all economics. Why drive a Toyota when you could be driving a Benz, right? We see the value in not paying so much for nothing but a badge, but they don't, so let them be.
Alex G: To me and you they look ridiculous because we know cars, but to the common people they're driving what the U.S. economics considers a luxury brand, and until you understand that it's not the car they're buying, it's the badge, this car will always look like a piece of shit dug up from and old Honda factory with a Benz logo on it. I would choose to put my same amount of money in a car with luxury features and not the luxury brand.
You're obviously Asian. When WESTERNERS buy a Benz they expect QUALITY, which is what Mercedes cars have always been known for. In my family we have driven a couple million KMs in Benzes from the 60's till NEW and there has been a very noticeable decrease in quality. An "entry level" Benz perhaps had no options (4spd manual, manual windows and door locks) but quality was still solid and impeccable.
This guy is rambling on and on about all the "cheap" about this car, but when you look at the pricing the CLA (base model) is very similarly priced to a Toyota Camry XLE or a Honda Accord EX-L 2.4 liter (keep in mind EX-L isn't even the highest trim for the Accord, nor does it have the V6). When you can get a Mercedez-Benz for the same price as a higher end Toyota Camry or Honda Accord and have a lot of the same features, it's a great value in my opinion.
But that is the whole point. A Mercedes should never have an ENTRY level car that competes with Accor and Camry. That's a disgrace to Merc's. CLA is a great car but it's not a Mercedes man.
@@moaz6395 I think the rich people just mad mid class people can afford a nice looking car lmao pussys this car is still beautiful and to any normal human being speed doesn’t mean much when you have speed limits everywhere you go. Haha
@@moaz6395 What company made the car then? You gonna walk into the mercedes dealership and tell them that they didn't make the car? Never understood that utterly stupid argument. It's like saying anything except the c8 corvette isn't a real chevy
Hi max, im from Colombia i have a CLA also, but mine's a 180( 120hp, 200nm, FWD, 19 inch AMG wheels from factory). And i have to say that US, spec cla s look kind of cheap inside. I dont know where your cla is made but mine was made in belgium. Maybe thats the difference, but mine has one tone interior (charcoal), diferent front and rear seats (not amg, but feels nice). I have to say that im really happy the only thing that i have to complain is that fells a little bit under powered, and the suspension feels, a little bit too hard for our roads. Here in colombia the cla180 is the only model we have(besides the cla 45amg), and we dont have any options other than window tint... the final price for the car was about 40k in us dollars. I got it when i was 20 and not so many people of my age gets cars like this in Colombia. So max i have to say, you dont have to criticize that way your first car, youre only 16 and you have a merc. Thats a privilege in any part of the world.
You're 16 years old. Start paying rent /mortgage, gas, electricity, trash service, baby sitting, groceries, car insurance, health insurance, clothing, (student) loans, a little money for entertainment and see how much is left. After you pay ALL of your ADULT bills and you still have enough to afford one of these, you will feel very lucky and not complain. I might have missed some expenses, but you get the point. You're still in high school, so I'll cut you some slack, but you're delusional to life after you move out of your mom and dad's house--it's no cakewalk and creditors are not very forgiving.
Thank you spot on. I'm 38 with a 13 year old and of course all of your adult responsibilities. I've been a mail lady for 15 years. I just bought one of these and I'm in heaven. To me it's absolute luxury. I knew just looking at the other higher end stuff in the showroom that I was buying their thriftiest offering. Who cares. It's a sip of the high life. These young people anymore have zero concept of blood sweat and tears.
Ravenna Sexauer That's awesome! I'm happy for you!! Enjoy it. 😊👍🏼I'm 30 years old. When I moved out of my mom's house boy did I appreciate toilet paper, toothpaste and toothbrushes even more. You take these small things for granted when your young. They are small details, but they made me run back to my mom with a big hug. She was a single mother. I love you mother. Thank you 😊.
itssandytime yes! I come from a divorced single mother of 3 back when I was 4. She went to school, worked and took care of us. We took the trolley and walked EVERYWHERE. I don't think we even had a car until I was 10 or so. It was tough but I feel built character. I got the boot at 19 and was more than ready even though it was hard. Just like you I'm forever grateful.
itssandytime i pay all that shit and do all of the adult things and i still have money left to have bought the new E class last week. And i paid in cash. so please stop whining about not having enough money left and start working harder to earn more money so that isnt an issue anymore
The newer CLA250 and A Class have a very nice interior for what it is worth but that is to say in 2020 a 30-35-40K car does not get you much. I am going to tell you young people a story "when I was your age", in 1987 I was 24, my first brand new car that I leased was a M3 which at that time sold new for around 33K 35-40K about 30-35k was the average for a M3 back then, in today's money adjusted for inflation that is around 75K. Back when I was young it was cheaper for Americans to fly to Germany and buy a BMW or Mercedes in Germany and ship it back to the U.S., not by much but a couple thousand off the sale price was worth the plane ticket. I ordered a S class through Mercedes European delivery system a few summers ago and it was amazing to go back to Deutschland. I have many memories from when I was a young soldier stationed in Europe, I try to go back a couple of times a year but all of this COVID mess has screwed up my holiday plans. Times have changed. now the Japanese and Korean brands that use to be cheap are now just as expensive (or sometimes more) as European brands. Thank you for reading my comment, have a blessed day.
All hail the gap! And remember this car was the first to carry the new design and if I do say myself carried the look beyond compare. The cla will be an all time classic that never ages once all is said and done, cheers
I was watching this and was like that stuff doesn't bother me, until I saw the damn gap in the doors. A Camry doesn't even have that in their entry level vehicle. Shame on Mercedes-Benz
Carlos N for 30k you can get a much better Camry or accord than this with nice options and reliability. Camry and accord will out last one of these any day.
It's below entry-level if you ask me. The C-class is the true entry-level of Mercedes. This car is for those who can't afford a Mercedes but want to say that they have one. BMW has done the same with cars like the X1 for example. They make more money and you get a glorified Corolla. You can't bash Mercedes, you get what you pay for
100% agree i own a cla 200 since 4 years now and its a great car. Great handling and very safe. And what did this guy expect if you want everything to be luxorious and everything perfectly finished off buy a S class.
Let’s be real. This is a very entry level car that costs less than a top spec Accord. So sure, features will be missing. And criticizing a small car for being small? Come on!
It is made in Hungary for Mercedes that’s why they reduced rear compartment space and height, engine compartment hood rod support, small boot area, no spare tyre!! Hardly any space in engine compartment which makes accessing headlights, wire harness and sockets very difficult. Add to that very poor housing for headlight bulb.
in my opinion this car is one of the best options out there no power seats is a lil bit weird now days even for a Hyundai but because of this MB a whole lot of others brands have been forced to make better cars cuz REMEMBER at the end of the day is a Mercedes-Benz
you should try more of the features videos, by looking at your channel content, that is the most viewed video,and those are the videos which most youtubers don't make.
Every thing said in this video is spot on this is why I sold both my CLA250 and my BMW 328i. If I am paying so much money for a car (even if it is entry level) at least have audacity to take your time and make sure every single piece of the car is thought out correctly and finish perfectly. Respect the badge cause it's not the badge carrying all of the luxury and name it's the car. To know that Lexus is not becoming the Mercedes of today is horrible and Cadillac is not now on top of both BMW and Mercedes Benz .. It's now Cadillac and Lexus in comparison.
My opinion: where was a CLA ten years ago? Nowhere. The CLA is a new type of series of Mercedes for people who wants to have a Mercedes but don't want to pay at least $50,000 to get a decent C Class.
Beanjuice this is an entry level Mercedes, but It's a Mercedes it's meant to be superior to begin with. For the price this car demands something like a self suspending Bonnet should be standard
The b class is the entry level for hatch back Then comes the cla is the entry model for the cars they wanted to make the cla more affordable so that people Can actually afford it but that comes with some prices. But I have to say for mercadies entry model the cla and the b class are pretty good cars
It runs hot. My 2017 that i only had for 3 months blew a head gasket. Thank God it was still under warranty. They had to give me a new engine. Just got it back today. Fingers crossed that it won't happen again.
I don't get the dislikes. I'm looking to buy a 2016 CLA 200 A, and this video really did bring up some valid interior points I did not notice at the shop. For example the door gaps, feels a little weird especially considering I may be driving it in winter -20 C conditions (bad insulation?). Also, that door opening automatic park looks DANGEROUS... what if a door is opened by a kid in the backseat at 120 km/h on the highway and the park mode activates at such a high speed??? It must be only driver door? Either way that looks annoying because sometimes you need to drive with the door open at low speeds.
@@tradenchill9123 mind the plastic hoses, they will eventually fail. My last audi had nothing but cracked hoses and electrical gremlins! Good luck with that
FWD is for money saving. First it's a lot cheaper in terms of drive train and suspension. Then you get a lot more space in the trunk and in the second row if it's FWD. In order to be price competitive and space competitive to other brands it has to be FWD. The same is with the BMW 1 series.
Passenger seat can be automatic too, was an option. Seats are more comfywith the alcantara leather option and seat package. These lifts for the engine hood cost like 20 bucks if its important for you... . Space in the backsseats? Its a coupe bro....
This Mercedes is like a luxury counterpart to Toyota and Honda vehicles which are very reliable that people don't care for looks and would rather have reliable transportation . So I don't know how reliable this Benz is, but this Benz copies the hell out of those two big Japanese cars and tries to sell a grade above them. So that is why this is different from the rest of the Benz line up. It aims for standard Toyota and Honda cars rather than BMW's, Lexus's, and Audi's.
I think dads like this car the most. It's a relatively cheap car but it has a Merc badge so the spoiled 16 y.o. son can't complain about not getting a Benz as his first ride!
I’m surprise to recline the seat and to adjust the wheel it’s manual even my 2005 BMW 530i is automatic for these thing but I’m still purchasing this car the less space for other ppl the better for me 🤣🤣
Firstly, understand what you are purchasing. If you've not done your homework, then don't blame the manufacturer ... blame yourself. Secondly, if you believe only RWD is the best, then I challenge you to shop other world-renowned vehicles such as SAAB 900/9000 (pre-GMC) which are proven FWD in snow and much better handling than this vehicle. Overall (after only 2 points), you've very little knowledge of vehicles and should most likely not complete auto reviews. Will look forward to your comments well after you've accomplished this minimal fact. Cheers.
RWD in general drives nicer, and every other benz in the line up is based of a RWD chassis besides the cla for a reason. And sure its better in the snow....... It doesn't snow where I live 360 days of the year. Maybe a saab 900 is better handling than this, Not better than a entry level c-class though, Even from a few years ago.Maybe you need to learn something about cars..... or go drive some more of them.
you sure as hell have never driven the 190D, then you'd realise that Mercedes isn't all about the luxury but about quality build, also i agree with everything @Iridium725 said
My dad owns a completely decked out 50 grand 2014 cla250 and it has automatic seat control on the passenger side. Back then even the base model had the automatic seat control on the passenger side with the seat on the door. I don't y ur car which obviously has a few options does not have that. That is definitely unacceptable from MB.
This video is spot on. Anyone who has ever owned a previous Mercedes or BMW is well aware of what going on with these vehicles.

Of course is cheap if they make it expensive you can't afford it
You said it. That guy figures they are going to make a car for him that feels like it costs 5x as much.
Its not cheap. All cars higher than 32000€ are not cheap
Does not have to be that way, other cars in same price range are produced with advanced features omitted by MB in CLA range.
Cheap lol...

Rachel H True. But remember, you get what you pay for. Even at Mercedes. And to be honest, the downsides of this car is minimal, in my opinion

To know that Lexus is not becoming the Mercedes of today is horrible and Cadillac is not now on top of both BMW and Mercedes Benz .. It's now Cadillac and Lexus in comparison.
at 7.26 in my dad's mercedes e240, I can lye down and it's really comfy so that's another problem
2:50 that is Audi quality
Well I drive I CLA and I feel totally spoilt- it is an awesome car - great value
This is still my dream car
in slovenia you dont even get automatic seats on an audi a6
This Car reminds me suspicously on my renault Mégane.... how is that?
What did you expect from the cheapest Merc?
My opinion: where was a CLA ten years ago? Nowhere. The CLA is a new type of series of Mercedes for people who wants to have a Mercedes but don't want to pay at least $50,000 to get a decent C Class.
Great video !!
He's not complaining he's more of informing viewers about the not so good of the cla.. If he didn't like the car he wouldn't have brought it
The back seat look painful lol. Im thinking of getting this car...watching reviews
It's an entry level car...get over yourself dude.
Yes you do keep saying that you understand...but saying it and actually understanding it are two entirely different things.
Beanjuice this is an entry level Mercedes, but It's a Mercedes it's meant to be superior to begin with. For the price this car demands something like a self suspending Bonnet should be standard
tesla model 3
Beanjuice It is still an expensive entry level car.
The b class is the entry level for hatch back
Then comes the cla is the entry model for the cars they wanted to make the cla more affordable so that people
Can actually afford it but that comes with some prices. But I have to say for mercadies entry model the cla and the b class are pretty good cars
1:29 I Feel You Bro Hahaha I Feel Embarrassed When I Open It
i was hoping to hear about engine detains and real issues
It runs hot. My 2017 that i only had for 3 months blew a head gasket. Thank God it was still under warranty. They had to give me a new engine. Just got it back today. Fingers crossed that it won't happen again.
I don't get the dislikes. I'm looking to buy a 2016 CLA 200 A, and this video really did bring up some valid interior points I did not notice at the shop. For example the door gaps, feels a little weird especially considering I may be driving it in winter -20 C conditions (bad insulation?).
Also, that door opening automatic park looks DANGEROUS... what if a door is opened by a kid in the backseat at 120 km/h on the highway and the park mode activates at such a high speed??? It must be only driver door? Either way that looks annoying because sometimes you need to drive with the door open at low speeds.
Only the driver door triggers the ebrake. Everyone else can jump out and the car could care less. Most cars don't care at all.... nuff said
@@nufan4521 Ended up getting Audi A5 2018 anyway
@@tradenchill9123 mind the plastic hoses, they will eventually fail. My last audi had nothing but cracked hoses and electrical gremlins! Good luck with that
I love my CLA. I live in the snowblet , I would hate to have a rear wheel drive car here😂😂😂
did he say he was 16???
I got a feeling he got jealous after seeing his friend's latest BENZ😅😅
Sergio Oliveira, from Tixus chanell said this is a Nissan Sentra platform. He said Mercedes start in C class
bro u just triggered my ocd on another level
FWD is for money saving. First it's a lot cheaper in terms of drive train and suspension. Then you get a lot more space in the trunk and in the second row if it's FWD. In order to be price competitive and space competitive to other brands it has to be FWD. The same is with the BMW 1 series.
As for the interior I think you should upgrade to the AMG interior with the AMG exclusive pack and see the difference.
Passenger seat can be automatic too, was an option. Seats are more comfywith the alcantara leather option and seat package. These lifts for the engine hood cost like 20 bucks if its important for you... . Space in the backsseats? Its a coupe bro....
The gas mileage is great. Perfect commuter car!! 36 mpg Very stylish!! Bang for your buck
It seems very similar to the hyundai accent design wise
This Mercedes is like a luxury counterpart to Toyota and Honda vehicles which are very reliable that people don't care for looks and would rather have reliable transportation . So I don't know how reliable this Benz is, but this Benz copies the hell out of those two big Japanese cars and tries to sell a grade above them. So that is why this is different from the rest of the Benz line up. It aims for standard Toyota and Honda cars rather than BMW's, Lexus's, and Audi's.
111915 528518 this car looks good
I think dads like this car the most. It's a relatively cheap car but it has a Merc badge so the spoiled 16 y.o. son can't complain about not getting a Benz as his first ride!
good video. I own a GLC I dont any of those problems
My only complaint about this car is the turbo lag.
The CLA is made in Hungary along side the GLA and not in Germany like all other Mercedes sedans (the SUV's are made in the USA).
0:40
The GLA doesn't have a hood that holds itself up.
2:00
GLA is standard front wheel drive
I drive Dacia Jogger, it is 2/3 of the price and same built. With the same engine. Brilliant.
that's why you buy an old merc, w211
Simple Car Blog I got a w203
I’m surprise to recline the seat and to adjust the wheel it’s manual even my 2005 BMW 530i is automatic for these thing but I’m still purchasing this car the less space for other ppl the better for me 🤣🤣
Firstly, understand what you are purchasing. If you've not done your homework, then don't blame the manufacturer ... blame yourself. Secondly, if you believe only RWD is the best, then I challenge you to shop other world-renowned vehicles such as SAAB 900/9000 (pre-GMC) which are proven FWD in snow and much better handling than this vehicle.
Overall (after only 2 points), you've very little knowledge of vehicles and should most likely not complete auto reviews. Will look forward to your comments well after you've accomplished this minimal fact. Cheers.
RWD in general drives nicer, and every other benz in the line up is based of a RWD chassis besides the cla for a reason. And sure its better in the snow....... It doesn't snow where I live 360 days of the year. Maybe a saab 900 is better handling than this, Not better than a entry level c-class though, Even from a few years ago.Maybe you need to learn something about cars..... or go drive some more of them.
“It’s only as cheap as the person who buys it”
The sound of the door closing, makes this vehicle look cheap.
Very true. Spot on!
I'm curious what is your camera? It looks very stable.
Wtf is this dude babbling about😂😂😂...this a well made beautiful car.
yeah u need try the AMG one only
These ones will outlive all the others guaranteed
You'll destroy your transmission by opening door.
This car and a man in pink shorts fit perfectly.
fwd i agree. lol. even 4matics :P
Nice video, basically this is a expensive Nissan Sentra.
This guys father bought him the cheapest CLA there was. I have a 2014 CLA 250 Edition 1 and its fully equipt
your missing a lot of upgradable options on your car. but things like the door gap your correct. not acceptable
you sure as hell have never driven the 190D, then you'd realise that Mercedes isn't all about the luxury but about quality build, also i agree with everything @Iridium725 said
190D is much better no rattles
It's not a Mercedes, it's just a Nissan Sentra in an Adidas tracksuit.
My dad owns a completely decked out 50 grand 2014 cla250 and it has automatic seat control on the passenger side. Back then even the base model had the automatic seat control on the passenger side with the seat on the door. I don't y ur car which obviously has a few options does not have that. That is definitely unacceptable from MB.
Safety is first on every merc
Cmon.... the steering wheel adjustment being manual is better than electronic. Specially because it breaks.
Car is gorgeous
you can adjust that parking brake its too tight
