Me too kristijan I think she’s right talented. this mark honeymonster bloke really wouldnt know talent if it slapped him round his chops. She is brilliant love it
You can change the audio Tracks on the steering wheel you just need to have the audio showing in the middle of the instrument panel then you can use the mini thumb pad in the right of the steering wheel, up to go back down to go forward
I have a CLA (previous generation without MBUX) where this also works. In previous cars I could change the track with just one click on the steering wheel and not on my CLA but ... I looked in the settings for the middle screen and ... indeed, you can select the audio track with just one click on the steering wheel. Both next and previous track works. Great
Just love Ms Nicola. What a lovely soul she seems to be. A lovely personality/ and it takes a great personality to review some of the cars these days! Bravo.
This young lady is a great motoring journalist ! Just one thing though : when talking about space and practicality, Nicola should mention her height: claiming that this CLA gives enough leg room and head room is not relevant if Nicola is 167cm tall.
Quick Tipp: changing the track is easy and quick if you do it like this: place your finger on the arrows and from there, swipe to the left or right. That's very quick. Of course you could also use the touchscreen
Excellent review and amazing reviewer. Unique personality and very engaging. However I work for Mercedes and noticed one small mistake when you mentioned the CLA250. You mentioned it shares its engine with the CLA35 AMG and the CLA45 AMG but that’s incorrect. It only shares it with the tuned CLA35 AMG. The CLA45 AMG uses its own completely different hand-built 2.0 litre petrol engine that isn’t currently shared with any other model. Otherwise keep up the fun reviews. Love them! 😁👌🏽
I just rented one of these in Portugal and the handling was fantastic, the interface was excellent, and the ride was very smooth but grippy. It wasn't incredibly fast, but everything else made up for it.
I tried that so many times but it just wouldn’t do it. I had to keep clicking and swiping.🤦🏻♀️ it was verrrrrrry frustrating. Give me a button on the steering wheel and I’d be happy.
Very surprised the Kia Proceed was not mentioned at all, it might not be seen as premium, but it still fills the same segment, in a shooting brake style. Personally, I prefer the looks of the Kia, however looks are subjective.
That's a fair point, but realistically very few people will be cross-shopping these two cars. The Kia is a great option if you don't want or need a premium badge.
I'm sorry because I like wagons as much as anyone, but this car's huge overhang and skinny windows gives it a Scrappy Doo vibe that doesn't sit well with me. Edit: Nicola rocks btw.
Great video 👍Great personality. Mercedes do have good interiors better than alot of brands. You wouldn't buy this for boot space. Also diesel are bring phased out.
The cars interior looks great but materials are terrible, my brother owns one and there's always some sort of electrical problem unfortunately typical with the modern mercs
The CLA is meant to be a four dour coupe version of the A class, kind of like a saloon alternative, but they have the A class saloon now.. so they thought they'd make this to make a slightly more practical version but maintain that coupe stance with the shooting brake style. Just like they did with the CLS which was meant to be a four door coupe of the E class. So really, this is the closest thing you will get to an A class estate. Strange as Audi and BMW don't make estate versions of the A3 and 1/2 series respectively.
Why is handling rated as a negative when the reviewer herself admits that it is more for comfortable/luxury than for sportiness? Surely that's a positive then as it succeeds in what it has set out to do? Or does the reviewer think every car should cater to sporty boyracers as a default?
Its an odd looking car but im a big fan of mercedes interiors right now, although I know that is subjective and some people really dont like the screens. To me the screens draw me to Mercedes vehicles.
looks more of a larger hatchback than a small estate? looks a bit Marmite to me, some angles looks great them others a bit mehh . just adding I've a w177 A-Class 👍 which I love to bits.
Had one of these as a hire car for a couple of weeks while my e class was getting written off. Lovely looking car, inside and out! But that’s about the only nice thing I could say about it. Interior looks brilliant, but the plastics were very brittle and cheap, creaking, the car had only done 600 miles when we got it. Horrific wind noise on the motorway. In the back, it felt very cramped, because of the headrest being a complete part of the seat, visibility from the back was pretty poor. The 1.3 mild hybrid was brilliant around town. But gutless and very heavy on petrol on the motorway, even with a light foot. It’s a shame, Mercedes are nice to look at now, but the reliability and quality of them has went down hill drastically.
Looks like a posh Kia Proceed, the Kia probably comes with more spec for alot less mind you haha. (I didn't say that spec was better I just said more 😉)
Don`t know why brands confuse themselves first and then us the consumers with soooooooooo many models; at the end of the day they`re gonna slash them all and declare bankrupt, It`s not what Mr. Benz had in mind in the first place; better keep the image that I had from the brand back in the 80s and 90s, a classy and well crafted cars... back in the day off course ;)
why for the love of god did they use that glossy black plastic all over the center. Its the single worst thing about any car interior, its a dust magnet, a fingerprint magnet and easily scratched
The interiors look so damn bad.... the fans... Then the display.... just looks like a diy because it doesn't feel like it is a part of the dash the way it is designed....
It's much smaller than I thought. I was expecting an ocean liner estate. It doesn't look like it will hold more than a set of golf clubs lol. I'm gonna look at the bigger estates. This is a bloody hairdresser's car built for posers!!
i could watch this girl talking about the cars whole day
Me too kristijan I think she’s right talented. this mark honeymonster bloke really wouldnt know talent if it slapped him round his chops. She is brilliant love it
This channel has got a new life, thanks to this amazing lady. Her honest reviews are great.
This young lady is a pure joy! The car is nice, too.
She is the reason i subscribed to carbuyer channel. She made everything seemed so interesting. 💗
I always love her style of reviewing. Very well done
stop simping, its average at best
This girl is so watchable and entertaining.

Wow, thank you!
When buying shooting car, do I need Remington or something like that?
A Mossberg or lever-action also works pretty well.
I haven't seen her before and I don't know if she's new to this or not but she's a natural
Nic is our newest presenter and will be filming reviews every week alongside our website editor, Rich. Stay tuned for loads more content!

Thanks! I will keep this in mind, I am eyeing the CLS in a couple of years 😅
Nice review.... had a C Class Estate and would consider one of these in the future

what model did you have?
What a great review. She's just sold me the Shooting brake.
Great review, cant wait to get mine. Shame Mercedes customer care is a shambles and it will be over a years wait by the time I get it.
I'm having one of these delivered 29th November, I can't wait.
You can just change the track by swiping the button on the pad 😉

“Fit interior” great presentation Nicola - up your game CarWow 😉
Thank you! 😃
Dude Carwow has 10 times more subscribers and is a newer channel than Carbuyer. Most of it's success goes to Matt.
@@rocky7891 carwow has become a joke of a channel. Drag races, silly jokes and lots of retarted followers.
@@rocky7891 “dude” 😂
Driving in this car is off planet!
👍🏼 awesome Nicola..that intro (to .50/9:13) was priceless 😂
Not sure anyone could present this better, a real sticky on this
Finally mercedes benz is puting a different design on their amgs compared to their normal cars
What colour type is this? Digital white or polewhite
Keep this girl she’s great
Beautiful, interesting, entertaining and funny. I’m in love.
Great review, Nicola and CarBuyer team!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
brilliant review, so engaging and clear :)
I actually love the interior 🙌🏼
We do too!

As far as estates go, it's a greating looking one but I'd have preferred it if Mercedes has designed a liftback CLA or A class saloon instead.
Is that Polar or Digital White?
I'm sorry because I like wagons as much as anyone, but this car's huge overhang and skinny windows gives it a Scrappy Doo vibe that doesn't sit well with me.
Edit: Nicola rocks btw.
I think you can compare it with the mini clubman because everyone say that that car is an estate
No Qashqai review Carbuyer? everyone else did on 18th Feb 2021
Excellent review
Thanks Hector. Stay tuned!
By an excellent presenter 😊
Thank you for the great review 💪🏼👍🏼
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. I prefer the GLC 220d AMG Premium
What a beauty and the cars not bad either
Great video 👍Great personality. Mercedes do have good interiors better than alot of brands. You wouldn't buy this for boot space. Also diesel are bring phased out.
Thanks. Keep watching - there's loads more great content to come!
Loved the review of this car by this lovely lady.
Love this car
Don't you also get 220 petrol?
She told me to subscribe and I’ve subscribed!!! I will do whatever she wants me to do 🤣
Ha, thanks!
SEND ME ONE MILLION POUNDS!😜
The cars interior looks great but materials are terrible, my brother owns one and there's always some sort of electrical problem unfortunately typical with the modern mercs
Is this CLS subject to the huge recall as well?
You know the one whereby following an accident the Emergency vehicles are sent to the wrong place?
Perfect review
Wow, thanks!
Was this filmed in the New Forest??
We filmed this one in Ipswich :-)
My first thought was phwoar too. Then she started talking about the Merc.
Mercs are really confusing me with all their different models these days ! So this is an A class estate right?
The CLA is meant to be a four dour coupe version of the A class, kind of like a saloon alternative, but they have the A class saloon now.. so they thought they'd make this to make a slightly more practical version but maintain that coupe stance with the shooting brake style. Just like they did with the CLS which was meant to be a four door coupe of the E class. So really, this is the closest thing you will get to an A class estate. Strange as Audi and BMW don't make estate versions of the A3 and 1/2 series respectively.
I suppose you're right! A kind of A-Class coupe-estate!
Why is handling rated as a negative when the reviewer herself admits that it is more for comfortable/luxury than for sportiness? Surely that's a positive then as it succeeds in what it has set out to do? Or does the reviewer think every car should cater to sporty boyracers as a default?

AMG 45 is a completelty different car to the diesel you tested
Im in love ! And a nice car ♡

Nicola your amazing love the car too xx
Not available in Canada 🇨🇦 bad luck
now just wait a year for delivery
Go Nicola!!
It's very big competition. Kia Proceed is very good car.
Do Mercs have wireless Apple CarPlay yet ?
Beautiful
I like her quirky delivery, but the one point 'free' (three) type mispronounciations always manage to confuse me for a split second.
Nice car but it's not the high performance edition
You lost Matt. Don't lose her.
On this channel there's never the same presenter. Oh well...
No direct rival?
I give you the e46 Alpina B3.
That may form part of my perfect 3 car garage (to tow the caterham).
Looks like a posh Kia Proceed, the Kia probably comes with more spec for alot less mind you haha. (I didn't say that spec was better I just said more 😉)
The outside looks a bit outdated from the back
With MB and Audi you basically get 3 wheels and a seat - everything else is extra.
U look better than all the cars in the world
Nicole is so refreshing to see... 👍
Down votes had better be directed at the car. 😡
Where can I get a jumper like that? It's very nice.

We're just glad to have the choice. You don't have to like them all - everyone is different!
It's definitely nowhere near "the most stylish estate money can buy" - I'd like to remind you that the Volvo V60 and V90 are at the top of that list.
Oh yes! And the Kia proceed
this channel is way better without that annoying guy
Nice 💕
No, just no.
Why?
@@georgedowns4034 because it's not a pretty car? There are better looking cars.
@@andreipop1 well tbh I actually think the Kia Proceed looks cooler
She mimics Mat Watson 😂

nice car, sexy one....but not in white color...
Looks way too small to be a proper shooting brake or even an estate car!
Great personality, car lacks practicality, it's not an estate, and it's not a saloon, so why would anyone buy it.
The interiors look so damn bad.... the fans...
Then the display.... just looks like a diy because it doesn't feel like it is a part of the dash the way it is designed....
Interior isn't all that's fit 😉
Love it
Not so keen on that rear... 😏
You’re hot. Lord.
I would rather have the presenter than the sorry looking CLA😂 Can't wait for the new C-class though

No. The Kia Proceed is more stylish for me.
It's a great alternative if you don't want or need the premium badge!
@@carbuyer The word ”premium” should always be written inside quotation marks because it is a sign of insanity.
@@Sherukka Indeed. Which is more "premium", a 7 year or 3 year warranty?
@@scoopermg8226 That’s irrelevant but I would choose a 7 year warranty if it is really legit! You sadly can have to fight for your rights...
That was the first car that poped on my mind when I saw this CLA
It's much smaller than I thought. I was expecting an ocean liner estate. It doesn't look like it will hold more than a set of golf clubs lol. I'm gonna look at the bigger estates. This is a bloody hairdresser's car built for posers!!
The car sucks, but I've watched the video for the sake of the pretty girl.😎
How does it suck?
I don’t like the look of this cars exterior
this car is so ugly
