Wife likes it. My only concern is the reliability.

[@WizLovesCars]

Happy wife happy life lol! The is one of those cars that you distance yourself from after 30-40k miles. Thanks for stopping by the channel!

[@hassansyed5839]

​@@WizLovesCarsIs that because maintenance gets expensive past 40k miles? I have been thinking about getting a used 2021 with 6k miles. Have been wondering about maintenance costs. Will appreciate any thoughts

The dealership could probably get you a package for the A b services oil changes, everything they take care of mine

@@WizLovesCars If you are going to review cars get it right.....the CLA is NOT A LUXURY CAR. It is entry level car, that shares its platform with Nissan products---even a Toyota Camry has more luxury. You are looking silly

[@WizLovesCars]

@@chadhaire1711 definitely said in the vid that its entry level. Any KZbin vid for this vehicle has luxury in the title but i digress you have a good one. Appreciate the engagement

[@chadhaire1711]

@NerdComparision I can deny it because it is not true--- I drive more cars in a year than you will in your life. I have a 2024 CLA sitting in my driveway right now which is why I watched this video. It is NOT a luxury car on any level--- plastic in the cabin, noisy 4 cylinder sounds like--guess what--a 4 cylinder, and firm ride with tire noise on rough roads. It is a SPORT SEDAN made to compete with BMW 2-series and for that is great, looks great, drives great if in a hurry. But most Japanese sedans have just as much Luxury for less money. Plus the $45,000 base price is a good buy, but adding $17,000 worth of options like $1,700 for paint, and $3,400 for AMG badge pushes it up to $62,000 which is crazy---the tag might make you THINK it is luxury, it is NOT. Want Luxury, The S-class or EQE EV is Luxury which is whey they charge $120,000+ and people gladly pay it.

[@lavernewisdom7819]

luxury for you may not be for others but at the end of the day we are spending our own money so we can all call our purchase luxury as long as we work hard to achieve@@chadhaire1711 It's luxurious for me because I can't afford one lol......let's be kind with our words
