Sold the C250
Well we sold our C250 for a CLA45 AMG. Just wanted to let anyone interested in performance parts know I listed all of the parts for sale in the classifieds! I loved the C250 but I believe I will also have fun in the CLA.

I can understand if he wants more power, which is great, I just don't understand why they put the engine into the car facing the wrong direction.

The C350 doesn't even compare to the CLA45s performance. With just a tune you can get 450 hp out of it. The car is a beast. C250 should have had this engine and turbo, but then it would have screwed up the C-Class hierarchy. C400 and C450 are more in line with the performance.

"The CLA-Class has been a controversial vehicle among some of Mercedes-Benz biggest fans as it isn't much like the other cars by the German automaker.[51] In contrast to most Mercedes models sold in the U.S., the CLA is small, based on a front-wheel drive platform, and powered exclusively by four-cylinder engines.[52] Called as a new "gateway" into the Mercedes-Benz brand with sales "beyond our optimistic expectations" by Mercedes-Benz,[53][54] Consumer Reports rate the CLA as "140% worse than the average car" in the 2014 Annual Auto Reliability Survey.[55]
Despite the criticism, the CLA received praise worldwide from professional reviewers. The price, which starts from $30,000, has been the highlight for many reviewers.[56] The front-wheel drive has been praised for giving the CLA a better fuel economy, which gives especially the CLA 250 a 26 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the road.[57] The performance has also been praised, with 208 hp, the CLA 250 sprints to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds.[57] The coupe-like handling has been praised, which has been described as "quick and direct".[56] The interior has been praised for making the CLA a more "youthful choice".[56] Though the CLA is an entry level car, often called "cheap" and "shoddy" by fans, professional reviewers agree that it still looks and feels like a proper Mercedes.[58]"
Might get great reviews professionally, but it's pretty consistent among the Mercedes fan base that it doesn't live up to the Mercedes name. Though if you like it, then it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks.
