top up 10k from a200 and u can get the mk7 gti, which should give you the performance level closer to A250. Gti wet clutch DSG is also more durable than the tsi

Thats the bare 3 door gti. Its ridiculous because its using halogen lights and its not worth to buy at all. Even the sales fella told me the 3 door is rubbish unless they increase the specifications

Seems like white colour is the most popular colour for most of the cars now.

Btw, I thought A45 have to wait for more than a year as the allocation for 2013 and 2014 is being snapped up.

I am getting A250, not A45

It is not the money.. a richfag company like Merc enjoy the interest of many 5k collected from cutomers...

FYI, there is no such thing called not ready for Merc... doh.gif  doh.gif

U contradict urself in one sentence. doh.gif

Not the money, but a richfag company enjoying the interest? LOL

Then dont buy Merc lah. U r lucky they ask for 5k only. Some are asking for 10k. This is to make sure ur a serious buyer.

U shud be thankful Merc is 5k. The last i heard to book a Maserati is 50k.

So stop complaining if u cant even allow Merc to earn that petty interest. shakehead.gif

Not sure on the recond model. Done my second schedule service due to warranty obligation  on every 12k mileage . Both are under rm850. Think u go outside Benz service center will cost less. The franchise service 's labour Charges is a killer. Ya...stay away from the shitty Toyota models.

Rm850 what do they change?

Just placed deposit for cla200 , waiting period is 6 months. Any cons for this car? Pls advice as i am considering it with c200 that is coming on this september also.

CLA 200 is underpowered.I test drove A200 and it felt so underpowered let alone CLA 200.

Why don't just get the A250 since the CLA is around the same price as A250?

A250 is way more powerful and driving it is such a joy! rclxm9.gif

in love with Merc car. Usually 200k car recommended pay grade is how much lol.. blush.gif

Definately more than 10k .

Anythibg below and it will be very tight. My A250 service each time costs about 1-1.5k for normal service. Lets not go into the major ones . Those costs a bomb.

Change brake pad is 1k.

So yes its a high maintainence car.

But the joy it gives is great. Driving at 220kmh is done without sweat. Feels solid and planted whatever speed.

may i know is there any discount for 2014 Merc A250?

When i bought my A250, thr was no discount .

I doubt thr will be any disc now as it is selling so well. The A200 has discount but that is because the A200 is not a hot seller.

Also maintainence for the A250 is pretty high. I thought VW was expensive, but Merc has brought it to the nxt level

Lol....not to pour cold water! The A class isn't selling that well! Go check out vearious showrooms, plenty of ready stock! even the  A 250! Saw a few pre registered units!
*
It is selling very well for its price point and considering its a hatchback. Go to VW showroom and ask the SA how many GTIs they are selling or for that matter, go ask BMW SA and see how many 125is they are selling.

Then only will u understand . Plenty of ready stock? Haha, I think u must have been fooled by the cars in the showroom. Probably already have owners.

Go try to book an A250 and see how long u have to wait. I waited 8 months. Maybe now shorter as they have managed to bring in more allocation.

Go on and join the A-Class CLub. Have alook at how many members we have already in a short span of time.

Any feedback?

Buy for the looks onie. Driving experience is very average only. For me, not worth the price. Better get a BMW320i which is so smooth.

I am driving an A250 btw

Thanks for the feedback.

Not keen on BMW as heard too many friends driving that is giving them many problems.

Btw is there such a thing, buying a CLA 200 but upgrade the appearance to be like AMG?
*
Shouldnt be a problem as long as theres warranty.

Yes u can mod the appearance. Only thing is how deep is ur pocket thats all.

I plan to get a new C200 Avantgarde 2015.
Any users here? Can you share your honest review on this car?

I'm decising C200 or BMW 3 series. I need some reviews.
Thanks.
*
C200 is extremely comfortable. Interior looks like a million bucks. Merc downside is its gearbox. The gearbox nvr feels as fast or snappy as a VW dsg or Bmws 8 speeder.

3 series interior is boring and old. But the driving feel is excellent. Steering weight abit light and does not feel planted. Performance wise, BMW trumps the Merc. The 3 series feels more energetic and more willing to go faster.

The Merc is more of a comfortable cruiser.

But the Merc wins hands down on refinement and looks.

BMW has 5 years free service . Merc u need to pay for every service which costs a bomb. So the choice is in your hands...
