2013 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The CLA's rear legroom stat, a very low 27.1 inches, suggests that adults won't even fit in back. But this stat under-represents reality. At 5-9, I could just manage to site behind myself. More than the limited amount of room, I minded the highly constricted view out. The coupe-like roof line takes a big cut out of the rear side windows. Unlike in the C-Class, the front seats largely block rear seat passengers' view forward. Suffer from claustrophobia? Best avoid the CLA. But, it's a coupe, so what did you expect? see full review |

2013 Powertrain: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
With a 208-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to move 3,262 pounds, the CLA250 is fairly quick, if not thrillingly so. Mercedes claims the car will get from zero to 60 mph in just under seven seconds. This seems about right. But the transmission, while enabling this acceleration and the outstanding fuel economy mentioned earlier, doesn't behave well. A seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual, it delivers neither the lightning-quick shifts of Volkswagen's DSG nor the refinement of the conventional automatics found in most competitors. In my brief time in the car I played with the different modes, but couldn't get to a place where the transmission decisively and unobtrusively went about its business. Maybe once we spend more time getting to know each other? see full review |
