I just picked up a CLA 45 this past weekend. Drove over to Atlanta to get it. It's a 2014 but only had 52k miles, 2 owners and no accidents. Was able to get it for a hair over 22 grand. So freaking happy with it so far, tons of fun and surprisingly good gas mileage on my commute.
im looking into buying on in the next couple of months, did you buy it from a dealer or private seller? and if you did buy from one or the other, how was the experience?
@@gabrielmendrano8568 mine is all black, Im a sucker for black cars. Just did a 2 step paint correction this weekend and got rid of almost all the swirl marks!
@@iconicrl I bought mine from a used dealership, called Auto Gallery. My experience was pretty good honestly, they let me take it on a nice test drive, they were able to use my pre approved financing from car gurus, so I got the rate I was looking for. I'd just make sure you get a carfax and read through it, make sure the service records are good and no accidents have been reported.
U convinced me bro. Just picked up my cla 45 yesterday. I was Originally looking at the Audi s3 until I saw this and converted to the Cla45 . Great content!!
solid man ,glad my video helped you reach a decision.!cla 45 is such a fun car to drive and mod . the s4 is a cool car too i still want one but 45 amg has to be the best all around car !
thanks man this means the most . ur the first one who’s down to stick around and support. love the positivity man . this comment alone is what is going to make me pump out more vids . thanks for being a real one brother!! 🙏🏽💯💯
Love my '18. Almost 40k on the odometer and it's been reliable so far. I always have a great time behind the wheel, especially when a Hemi or Mustang tries to pull up. They all learn the hard way.
I owned the first facelift package they offered for the 2017 CLA 45 amg. I put on 110k miles, drive it through the rain, snowstorms and even off roading without a single engine or any minor problem. This car is extremely reliable and a fun daily driver to own!
yes ! this car is very solid and holds up good just basic of maintenance should be good . i know of some cases where people say this car is fully unreliable and gives so many problems. they said probably with the motor especially but i seems there’s either had bad work done to it overtime or overtime not good maintenance. it also does depend on what weather and state and how u drive the car . overall best car no issues and best sounding 4cyl and fastest production 4cyl until 2023 c63 with hybrid 4cyl
@@jlucentt couldn’t agree with you more! Had it regularly serviced at our local Mercedes Benz dealer and never had an issue. With an AMG it’s best to let the pros handle the work 👍
Bro I’m getting a cla 45 next week and it has a stock exhaust. Is yours stock? As you can get the performance exhaust option. If it is stock did you delete the front resonator or middle one ? Car looks insane
that’s so sick .. i hope you enjoy it . it’s so worth it . my personal 45 is all factory besides the air intake and res delete (the middle one) and it does have performance exhaust option which does help .. ask what options the car ur looking at is equipped with . you don’t necessarily need performance exhaust because modding it will help out a lot .. and thanks i mostly went for cosmetics for the meantime and will soon work on more things for it
mostly cosmetic mods but i likely will still make a video on it and most the stuff can be found on ali express or ebay but stay tuned because i could make a video on it
i feel like it’s the best budget sports car, crazy interior and crazy rims with big calipers and painted red , sporty look and is amg . also one of the cheapest amgs money can buy especially for 2014 2015 year . this car has no issues most of the time even past 100k miles but it’s about 20-30k and it’s still a good chunk of money
mine is 2014 and sadly no remote start . and i believe adding one aftermarket is really tough due to it begin a mercedes but there might be some options out there
Depends on your driving record and gender (Im a Male). I'll tell you that I've been driving since I was 16 (I'm almost 22 now) and I've never gotten any ticket or any accidents, completely clean record, and my insurance for a 2016 CLA 45 would be between 170-190 for full coverage. Hope this helps!
I'm a 25 year old male with one speeding ticket in the last 3 years and no accidents. My insurance ran me 1,200 for 6 months with a 2014 CLA 45. Not too bad really, used to pay 140 for my Mazda 3.
my friend has a 13’ cls 550 it’s nothing but issues . either cls 63 or cls 45 but no matter what cls is way more expensive and harder to maintain. cla is a full drivers focused car . i would totally get a cla 45 2018 they are steals right now with low miles and if you don’t mind a 4cyl that’s fast then it’s for sure worth it ! hope that helps . lmk with any other questions
that’s what i’m saying !! it’s all the little stuff that account and make this such a nice car .. i feel like my purpose is to explain why this car is solid and not a car that deserves so much hate

I been looking for that one for months. I’m in New England. Amg are rare I’ll drive far. 25 g is my max. I’m getting one.
I sold my 15’ cla45 and bought 22’ cla45s. I can say the old cla45 is reliable, good exhaust note, and by far no issues as i kept it stock.
it is a great car and congratulations. the new cla 45 is super clean

yeah the car is light , nimble and fast , feels awesome with the all wheel drive and the 4cyl definitely pushes

Good choice! have fun and be safe !
Thank you bro for this advice
Love this video man. Keep it up

thanks man i really appreciate it and congrats bro there’s so many mods to do and make it your own style . sick mannnn 🤙🏽

You’ve got the best wheels for it too 👍🏻
May I ask how you made the blue light bar on your headlights？ so cool
i can make them any color . it’s custom headlights from rgb headlights! hope that helps
@@jlucentt Thanks for your answer
I have a CLA45 same as you, I like your cool headlights🔥

What ur insurance looking like? Want to get one in the next couple months
very solid ! it’s a slightly older car but tags for registration are slightly pricy due to my area i live might be different for you
what year is it? I thought it is brand new it looks that good
2014 manneeee .. and thanks i appreciate it
I’m from UK I have an A45 and CLA45 they are my favourite cars ever but expensive! Not for those on a budget

About to turn 18 and looking to get one. How is the insurance if you don’t mind me asking?

solid i wish we had that car in america but same thing different shape ! go get one & thank you !! more content soon
How did u make your eye brow lights blue?

Worth selling my 2012 CLS 500 for a CLA 45? In terms of reliability
my friend has a 13’ cls 550 it’s nothing but issues . either cls 63 or cls 45 but no matter what cls is way more expensive and harder to maintain. cla is a full drivers focused car . i would totally get a cla 45 2018 they are steals right now with low miles and if you don’t mind a 4cyl that’s fast then it’s for sure worth it ! hope that helps . lmk with any other questions
Amazon car! I’ve got a gla 45 and it’s damn lovely! My little rocket…
oh yeah totally sick . has a little bit more room but still fast . my friend had one
What intake did you go with?
k&n drop in air intake .. runs around 60-70 bucks
This gotta be the cheapest car I’ve ever seen with 200 on the dash, bro I want one now best bang for your buck for the price
that’s what i’m saying !! it’s all the little stuff that account and make this such a nice car .. i feel like my purpose is to explain why this car is solid and not a car that deserves so much hate
I bought the same one will pick it up next week got it for amazing 11k (i am in the uae the car prices are amazing here)
Enjoy it man that’s awesome.. such a fun car and you got it at a great price ! WELCOME to the CLA 45 community
