2016 C300 vs the 250
I have a leased CLA which is running up soon, while I love the car one big complaint I have is the ride which is a bit on the rough side you hit a bump and it hits hard, plus the car is pretty small inside.
I am now looking at the 300 as a option but have not seen it in person yet, is this the same inside as the 250? Is the ride any different?
Thanks!

This should really be in the W205 section but I spent some time in a GLA250 and a C300 2016. My preference by far is the W204 C-Class.
I've read the GLA and CLA are very similar. I found the GLA felt a bit crude overall in a way that's hard to quantify. The C300 W205 with the same powertrain feels like a completley different vehicle. The interiors are very similar but the C300 feels much more refined. Also, the ride and handling feels more refined. Even to little details like start/stop eco feature. It was much more of a jarring experience in the GLA. I really hated the GLA.
But when it comes down to it I like the exterior and interior stying of the W204 as well as the handling.
I would take the interior door panels, the overhead light panel panel, backup camera and agility modes from the W205 and stick them in the W204 for a perfect car.
