I’ve never been a Mercedes fan due to their poor reliability but at a starting price of $38k, the CLA is an absolute steal. Fantastic interior and exterior, especially the 2021 model.
Just checked how much it would cost in Belgium: Starts at € 32k, but after adding options it got upto €55k... That's € 23k worth of options on a €32k car. It's about the same as the colour: bananas!
You open the trunk and its surprisingly cheap like civic. No trims around hinge holes, no trim covers to hide seam adhesive, etc. That aluminum trim you are talking about, is actually plated plastic, where they deposit copper oxide on the plastic and then plate aluminum on top, after few years of plastic shrinking and expanding, the aluminum starts to peal off. Good one Mercedes.
Yeah I remember Doug absolutely shit on the early model. I agree also it’s a huge upgrade. This car is actually worth buying now. A lot of kids in my college drive CLA’s and think they’re hot shit lol.
the fuck is the point of putting a hashtag in your comment? You can’t search for comments, it doesn’t make the comment higher up in the comments section, and it doesn’t make the video have a better outreach.
pleeeeas doug can you give us subtitles for all the stats to your non american followers? you know that your viewers aren’t just from the us or england and that the rest of the word is using the metric system🙄😐😩
Yellow is free, but: Garage door opener is $280; Illuminated star is $450; Wheel locking bolts are $150, and LED Logo Projectors are $275. I think I'll do without all those (and probably most of the other unnecessary options) and go with the $20 Clicker garage remote that clips onto the visor. In fact, I've got it already; I'll just take it off my old car. Free. I can hear the salesman now: "But, hey, it's only another $50 a month for the option package (for the next 84 months)."
Doug: “surprisingly quick throttle response..this one is pretty good...reasonably peppy”. “Steering and handling is OK, lazier than expected and not sports or even sporty car...” Also Doug: 3/10 for acceleration and 4/10 for handling. Ookkkk
Doug, you can make the navigation full screen on the drivers display, click home on the steering wheel, then click navigation, then go into the centre of both gauges, and then scroll down to where it says "full screen' and click on it. And then you got full screen navigation. 14:50
i once took my car to fletcher jones and forgot my wallet in a loaner i brought back the same day. I called them letting them know exactly where i forgot my wallet and they claimed they checked but didnt find anything. This was on a saturday when they close early. That same day, I couldnt enter the hotel room nor could i have gone into coachella because my ID was in my wallet and my passport was with my mom who was out of state at the time. Thank you fletcher jones.
I've been driving the much older W204 generation C300 for a while now. It's been practical, reliable, versatile, and comfortable. The materials and quality is largely par for the course at the time, but manufacturers have made significant strides in the right direction when improving the details and styles of entry-level models in the past several years. I would honestly trade up to a new CLA because it is a genuine improvement over my older C Class. The new C Class is downright phenomenal too, but the CLA makes such a compelling offer with its price, feature, and performance packages. I imagine an AMG model will be quite the performance/luxury bargain!
each county in socal is kinda like a different country. if you pay attention, you can even tell which county someone grew up in by the slight differences in how they speak english. lol
Looking at the interior and *those* fake exhausts typical of most new cars, I really appreciate the simplicity of my '02 Golf and the lack of bs from that era
At 3:38 you can see "MB-Tex" as the upholstery variant. This is Mercedes durable impression of real leather made for Cabs / Taxis. So this is probably really ment to be a cab. The yellow color with the black mirrors and rims fit that theme very well...
I don’t even read car reviews anymore tbh. I just see if Doug reviewed it and see if I wanna buy it that’s why I found this video I found a 2014 CLA $1000 down
If only Mercedes could've given this a hatchback, like the Audi A5 Sportback, VW Arteon, or, its own AMG GT 4-door coupe. Instantly adds a shot of practicality to the 4-door "coupe" concept.
Audi: We will have our RS6 Avant on US soil for the first time ever. Me Watching Doug's CLA review: We don't & still don't get a CLA Shootingggggggggggg brakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm not a big Mercedes fan. I honestly prefer BMW and Audi, mainly for styling reasons, but my God, does this CLA look awesome in Yellow! Now I want a yellow Mercedes.
Caspar Townend Lol fair enough, as an owner of a 2017 CLA 45, I emailed doug for a year and a half asking him to come and review my car. It’s a full optioned car. I tried Instagram, Reddit, everything. Never responded. Then he post his “CLA 45 Review”. Bro there isn’t a worst cla 45 on planet earth than the one he reviewed. I didn’t even know you could get a cla 45 that base, even in 2014. It’s not even the same car compared to mine, so I’m salty af😂
