Why The CLA Is NOT A True Mercedes-Benz

In contrast to my "Why The CLA Is A True Mercedes-Benz" video, in this video I go over the reasons why the CLA is NOT a true Mercedes-Benz.

[@Andy-bm6zo]

This video is spot on. Anyone who has ever owned a previous Mercedes or BMW is well aware of what going on with these vehicles. Has nothing to do with the vehicle being entry level, the cars are just getting way shitier. Since when are huge door gaps an "entry level" feature? Mercedes Benz used to have pride behind their cars. The kid is absolutely correct, 10 years ago this car would be considered unacceptably inferior as a MB product. The way these cars are put together nowadays, you can touch most of the plastic in the dashboard and itll flex with the slightest pressure. What's next, an entry level MB with passenger manually winding windows, right? Overall accurate video.

[@opulan]

Keenan Chu so you're paying a lot for shit quality??

[@keenanchu3089]

Alex G: Quality does not matter to those whom seek to be materialistic. A CLA for 33k is rather cheap for what you're getting, a Mercedes Benz badge. The CLA is not a car, it's a symbol. It shows people you can afford a 'luxury' brand. Sure, at 33k you don't get a fast engine, a sunroof, or even LED headlamps, BUT YOU GET A BENZ. It's all economics. Why drive a Toyota when you could be driving a Benz, right? We see the value in not paying so much for nothing but a badge, but they don't, so let them be.

[@opulan]

But then those same people just look like a fool, whats the point of buying a poverty spec entry level luxury item?

[@keenanchu3089]

Alex G: To me and you they look ridiculous because we know cars, but to the common people they're driving what the U.S. economics considers a luxury brand, and until you understand that it's not the car they're buying, it's the badge, this car will always look like a piece of shit dug up from and old Honda factory with a Benz logo on it. I would choose to put my same amount of money in a car with luxury features and not the luxury brand.

[@chris4321das]

You're obviously Asian. When WESTERNERS buy a Benz they expect QUALITY, which is what Mercedes cars have always been known for. In my family we have driven a couple million KMs in Benzes from the 60's till NEW and there has been a very noticeable decrease in quality. An "entry level" Benz perhaps had no options (4spd manual, manual windows and door locks) but quality was still solid and impeccable.

[@12daniel06]

Remember, this is basically a coupe version of the a-class. And these cars a meant to be entry-level Mercedes, as you mention. They could have made this super luxury, but then it would be at a much higher price point. And then you lose the whole idea of a entry level car

[@chromatica5494]

Daniel Thomsen Entry level or not, you expect quality when buying anything with a Mercedes badge.

[@12daniel06]

Rachel H True. But remember, you get what you pay for. Even at Mercedes. And to be honest, the downsides of this car is minimal, in my opinion

But not 16 year old children who probably don't even shave yet. 99% of this age bracket don't have 40K to buy this car. i also don't spend my time fondling the lower parts of my doors, cos my hands are usually on the wheel, driving. This is a one or two person car, perhaps with two small kids. Not meant to be for cruising with your teenage mates. This video seems to be just a reason to nitpick for nine minutes.

You're 16 years old. Start paying rent /mortgage, gas, electricity, trash service, baby sitting, groceries, car insurance, health insurance, clothing, (student) loans, a little money for entertainment and see how much is left. After you pay ALL of your ADULT bills and you still have enough to afford one of these, you will feel very lucky and not complain. I might have missed some expenses, but you get the point. You're still in high school, so I'll cut you some slack, but you're delusional to life after you move out of your mom and dad's house--it's no cakewalk and creditors are not very forgiving.

Thank you spot on. I'm 38 with a 13 year old and of course all of your adult responsibilities. I've been a mail lady for 15 years. I just bought one of these and I'm in heaven. To me it's absolute luxury. I knew just looking at the other higher end stuff in the showroom that I was buying their thriftiest offering. Who cares. It's a sip of the high life. These young people anymore have zero concept of blood sweat and tears.

[@joshmckinnley745]

This guy is rambling on and on about all the "cheap" about this car, but when you look at the pricing the CLA (base model) is very similarly priced to a Toyota Camry XLE or a Honda Accord EX-L 2.4 liter (keep in mind EX-L isn't even the highest trim for the Accord, nor does it have the V6). When you can get a Mercedez-Benz for the same price as a higher end Toyota Camry or Honda Accord and have a lot of the same features, it's a great value in my opinion.

[@gavcom4060]

Josh Mckinnley u get more value in the accord and camry

Hi max, im from Colombia i have a CLA also, but mine's a 180( 120hp, 200nm, FWD, 19 inch AMG wheels from factory). And i have to say that US, spec cla s look kind of cheap inside. I dont know where your cla is made but mine was made in belgium. Maybe thats the difference, but mine has one tone interior (charcoal), diferent front and rear seats (not amg, but feels nice). I have to say that im really happy the only thing that i have to complain is that fells a little bit under powered, and the suspension feels, a little bit too hard for our roads. Here in colombia the cla180 is the only model we have(besides the cla 45amg), and we dont have any options other than window tint... the final price for the car was about 40k in us dollars. I got it when i was 20 and not so many people of my age gets cars like this in Colombia. So max i have to say, you dont have to criticize that way your first car, youre only 16 and you have a merc. Thats a privilege in any part of the world.

[@VanquishMediaDE]

The newer CLA250 and A Class have a very nice interior for what it is worth but that is to say in 2020 a 30-35-40K car does not get you much. I am going to tell you young people a story "when I was your age", in 1987 I was 24, my first brand new car that I leased was a M3 which at that time sold new for around 33K 35-40K about 30-35k was the average for a M3 back then, in today's money adjusted for inflation that is around 75K. Back when I was young it was cheaper for Americans to fly to Germany and buy a BMW or Mercedes in Germany and ship it back to the U.S., not by much but a couple thousand off the sale price was worth the plane ticket. I ordered a S class through Mercedes European delivery system a few summers ago and it was amazing to go back to Deutschland. I have many memories from when I was a young soldier stationed in Europe, I try to go back a couple of times a year but all of this COVID mess has screwed up my holiday plans. Times have changed. now the Japanese and Korean brands that use to be cheap are now just as expensive (or sometimes more) as European brands. Thank you for reading my comment, have a blessed day.

It's below entry-level if you ask me. The C-class is the true entry-level of Mercedes. This car is for those who can't afford a Mercedes but want to say that they have one. BMW has done the same with cars like the X1 for example. They make more money and you get a glorified Corolla. You can't bash Mercedes, you get what you pay for

[@tom-ow5vp]

At that price point, the only thing you can complain about is the door gap

[@Apocalypz]

Firstly, understand what you are purchasing. If you've not done your homework, then don't blame the manufacturer ... blame yourself. Secondly, if you believe only RWD is the best, then I challenge you to shop other world-renowned vehicles such as SAAB 900/9000 (pre-GMC) which are proven FWD in snow and much better handling than this vehicle. Overall (after only 2 points), you've very little knowledge of vehicles and should most likely not complete auto reviews. Will look forward to your comments well after you've accomplished this minimal fact. Cheers.

[@tv321123]

RWD in general drives nicer, and every other benz in the line up is based of a RWD chassis besides the cla for a reason. And sure its better in the snow....... It doesn't snow where I live 360 days of the year. Maybe a saab 900 is better handling than this, Not better than a entry level c-class though, Even from a few years ago.Maybe you need to learn something about cars..... or go drive some more of them.

Mercedes Benz is not THE luxury brand. It is a brand which offers a lot of cars. Some are cheap and some are frickin luxurious. People expecting to see no plastic or cheap structuring on a 20k Benz are ignorant. You get what you pay for. You can buy the best Toyota corolla with all the options for less money than you can buy a entry level Mercedes in the same class. You still don't compare it. The majority of people buy a new car with the upgrades they want. It's your own fault if you buy a cla and cry about luxury.

This Mercedes is like a luxury counterpart to Toyota and Honda vehicles which are very reliable that people don't care for looks and would rather have reliable transportation .

This is still my dream car

[@TinoMiller]

Every thing said in this video is spot on this is why I sold both my CLA250 and my BMW 328i. If I am paying so much money for a car (even if it is entry level) at least have audacity to take your time and make sure every single piece of the car is thought out correctly and finish perfectly. Respect the badge cause it's not the badge carrying all of the luxury and name it's the car. To know that Lexus is not becoming the Mercedes of today is horrible and Cadillac is not now on top of both BMW and Mercedes Benz .. It's now Cadillac and Lexus in comparison.

If you can afford, Why would you go for the cheaper version, get an S class and stop wasting our time

[@rik-keymusic160]

Probably not even a Mercedes engine… probably Renault engine aswel…

The sound of the door closing, makes this vehicle look cheap.

[@Anton-lw6bk]

Love this can no matter what, but would love to have this one, but if there are so many rich folks they can get more expensive versions of Mercedes and just be happy, not everyone has the same pockt, end of the story.

Piece of $*@^× for people who can't afford mercs. Anything lower than the E class isn't an actual merc.

[@sangh1120]

its because it's the low end entry level mercedes.... simple.
