Hi all,

I'm thinking of choosing between this 2 models for my first Mercedes after 7 years with my 320

Want to know the pros and cons of it from user point of view

Anyone driving this 2 model?

The CLA and A-Class are a segment below than the C-class and 320i..
CLA is front wheel drive layout, less complicated and less costly than the rear wheel drive C-class.. The 2nd generation CLA200 is using a 1.3L turbo from Nissan.. The new local A-class even get torsion beam for lower specs, not sure what kind of specifications will Msia get when the new CLA launch here later.. Thus obviously they are built with entry level in mind..

Space wise, C class is comparable with your 320i.. CLA interior space is worst than MyVi, no headroom for back passengers, and the boot can't even fit a golf club.. not suitable for family use IMHO..

CLA and A class are built by Merc to attract buyer from lower rank..
And it is built with most cost effective manner and putting a three pointed star at the front... thus, there are compromises.. Although I have to say the CLA design is very sleek..

Since you are coming from F30, why not wait for the newer C class W206 or take a look at the BMW G20..

CLA is a rank below of what you are driving now..
