I was eye-ing the CLA200 but when I tried the real car, it is too small for me... Looks like I will have to wait for the W205...

Any news/rumours on when the W205 will reach our shores?

Will there be a entry level W205 for us? If not, I guess I will just go for the  F30 316i...

I really hope the W205 is not going to start at RM280,000. If RM250,000 then can consider...
*
from what i see the CLA will be the entry level as the C is moving up

You are right but the design is what I like lol.
Before CLA I was about to buy the BMW 320d M sport already haha

I think the BMW would be better.
Waiting period not so long and more cars on the road for this generation of BMW.
Merc u say wait for facelift, well by then it would be another long queue again unless u book now and get car then sweat.gif

If I were to lay down all the pros and cons of CLA 200 vs BMW 320d, the 320d will take all the cakes except for one: Design.

F30 is waaaay too common on the road already lol. Plus, I'm not really in a hurry to change my car now so I just need to be patient...

There's no news about any CLA facelift yet also, I'm just guessing because 1-2 years after a model is rolled there should be a revision/facelift in order usually haha

u can always try.

does anyone know when this will be released (c class 2015) in MY as paultan already has some spy shots on the trailer.

Previously was eying the CLA but just could not bite the bullet as leg room was crampy and the suspension was crappy.

Hello Guys..this is my 1st time considering to buy a Merc..Was eyeing at a C-class, specifically c200. I know that the new model (W205) will come onboard pretty soon. However, I'm considering to get a 2nd/used one and was thinking a W204 model. I got to know that w204 come with the facelifted and refreshed drivetrain on year 2011 (7speed gearbox). With the budget on hand, might be getting that variant. My question is surrounding to get the used/recond car. What do guys suggest? I heard that for recond car, most of the seller has tampered the odo so the mileage looks small. is it true? Plus MBM will not entertain warranty for recond car even it is still iunder warranty from the home country.
Also to those c200 owners, how is the maintenance like? The cost? Any maintenance schedule+cost that I can refer to?
Shed me some light pls. Tq

just get the c200 stock clearance price if u can afford it.

they have the preowned c200 and they havent say anything bout the current stock clearance. perhaps give some more time and after the w205 hit the market.

if u need the contact i can provide you.
a brand new c200 from C&C last check in june they clearing at a cheaper price than a CLA.
which they were pushing to customers whom don't wanna wait for the CLA and prefer a better car but don't mind the car being superseeded soon.

Went to check it out on Sunday. The C200 looks better and I prefer its Avantgarde interior than the C250 Exclusive. I asked the SA whether can choose lacquered black trim for C250. Like you said, only the out of place wood trim. Potong stim.  No test drive atm. Keen to try out the C250 performance with its claimed acceleration of 6.6s.

Overall, the W205 is beautiful; exterior and interior. Not trying to bash BMW 3 series, the 3 interior does not exude such luxury feel.

The boot size seems to be shallower. Or is it me only?

Your sentiments are similar to the review.

Guys im jumping ship from BMW to Merc for the CLA 200, so far the reviews for this car both locally and internationally has been bad but sales figure wise proved different story, its one of the most successful model to date by Merc Benz, in fact many countries not only in Malaysia (8months waiting list last checked) are not catching fast enough for the demand.

My budget allows me to go for A250 or the CLA200 only, im in a dilemma coz i dont like hatchback sad.gif

So what say u guys?

you might oso wanna consider the citroen ds5, should be within your budget brows.gif

1. Steering wheel is different. AV looks sporty!  No wood trim  on the AV ! Rim is different bet the two! The front grille is the sporty type with MB logo in the middle and not the uncle type with MB emblem on top!

2. Car Sway to the left issue( common ). Air cond filter tend to get smelly after two years. Other than that no common known issues!

3. Think it's exp lor! One year car should be the one after huge discount. New car around rm 242k. After used one year still want to sell so high price ah. Should be below 200k.

i think you're right.
as i have seen the recon prices already dropping like flies i saw one c180 2009 for 110k but snapped up quick shocking.gif
