Bargain second-hand estate car? Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake review

[@wivory81]

On a recent journey from Oban to Central Scotland I achieved 58mpg in my CLA180, 1.3 turbo mild hybrid engine. I find the engine in the CLA every bit as good as my previous C200 which had a 2 litre turbo. It’s responsive, smooth and quiet once up to speed, though a little noisy at high revs in low gears. On rough road surface the B pillar sometimes rattles, I intend to get his fixed under warranty. Apart from that, it’s a great car.

I was choosing between this and the C300e for my company car this year. I love the look of this car, the rear end is so good looking.. But the 50L tank, 65m range, and 300 bhp of the C300e won it for me in the end.. I do love the look of this car though...

[@RoscoeColtrane]

It is very satisfying, even with the plasticy dashboard bits. Plus, it has knobs I can twist.

[@christopherjhall]

It’s mad. I’ve got a new VW TROCC R-line DSG 1.5 on a lease and the list price is over £36k. This merc is value

[@dampmaky]

honestly i struggle to think of any reason to buy new cars the way the current market is

[@UKcounties]

I had shortlisted this car few years back but then read some users saying that the low ground clearance meant that the undercarriage was hitting most speed breakers

[@saidaarab4535]

Not on the hybrid models, suspension is higher due to the battery, driven true sand and rocky terrain in Morocco and did perfect, was unexpected but the electro motor was perfect and suspension too. So in the city drives I have no issues with speed bumps, but again it's the hybrid model

These look great, as does anything Swooping Break from Mercedes 😮

[@jonathanw844]

I take your matching socks and t shirt was to complement the car colour?

[@stugill4513]

[@Nakkisampyla]

Good vehicle without too much "fat"( 250e curb weight 1683 kg) while C300e is over 2 tons!

8:35 C class estate boot space is 490 litres, and this cla shooting brake is 505 litres. It looks like someone hasn't done their research properly 😂😂😂

[@christianridal3581]

You can actually fold down the rear seats in a regular CLA this guy is wrong

hi

[@rockinghorses]

Not sure about this one…it’s a compromise where you don’t need to make a compromise. If you want a pretty car, there are better options, if you want an estate, there are better options. If you want a pretty estate, there are better options.

[@Sto79Be]

Such as? Personally I don’t think BMW or Audi make anything prettier.

[@spangoz1000]

If you want a proper Mercedes experience buy the C class, then you won't have hard scratchy plastic, crap build quality and a noisy cabin from the tyres.

[@raf_raw]

I agree to some extent. The E-Class, however, is the true entry point if you’re willing to pay a premium, or the S-Class if money isn’t a concern. I currently own the latest C-Class, but I’m not in love with it. After test driving the new E-Class, I went ahead and ordered one-it’s on a whole different level!

[@darrenjones3681]

Unfortunately a lot of the A class isn’t Mercedes it’s Renault
