My car entered Canada over a week ago and yet it hasn't found its way to the dealership! I'm having trouble managing excitement here ;-)

That said, it's -30C this weekend apparently so it'll be sitting in the garage on its 19" run flats in the off chance it actually shows up.

I think C45 sounds worlds better than C43. C43 reminds me of the old clunker mb from 17years ago

Awesome! What was your build date listed as? Just curious how fast it goes from build date to dealer in Canada...?

Mine is being built tomorrow - can't wait...

Sadly I have not read the full 130 pages on this thread so I am kinda being lazy here but hopefully you guys dont mind.

I am having some serious issues with my 2014 CLA45 and contemplating a trade in on a C450. Anyone else on this forum who ordered a C450 and was coming from a CLA45?

I really like the interior, exterior and what not but I am worried that I will regret turning in an AMG car.

I could be wrong here, and my apologies if I am, but other than the 'AMG' in the name, is the CLA45 AMG not just as much of an "AMG" car as the C450?

jsquared27

The CLA45 does in fact have a hand built turbo charged 2.0L engine pumping out 355hp and 332Ft/lb torque. I have the plaque on the engine and all lol.

I would say its more so an entry level AMG.

i really like the CLA45 tail lights, much more than c450 tail lights.
the reason i choose c450 over cla45.
c450 got more HP and more torque, should be more fun to drive ?
also C450 got more safety features, just compare the Driver Assistance package.

Well I'm glad I prefaced my initial response saying that I might be wrong haha

But I actually wasn't aware that the CLA45 has the 'one man hand-built' engine in it. Thanks for clarifying

Your question seems a bit spun around. The CLA45 AMG is officially an AMG car with the above mentioned hand built engine. The C450 is not. it's a Mercedes with an AMG Sport package. Therefore, the CLA45 is more AMG than the C450.

Next years model will be badged an AMG C43 but I haven't heard anything about the engine being taken from normal assembly line to hand built by a single technician.

The definition of what AMG means seems to be changing.

Is there any specific reason why cooled seats and heated steering wheel are not available on the 450? They are both offered on the c300. I assumed they were just standard fare before being corrected by my dealer. I just double checked and they aren't available on the 63 either.

It is a different steering wheel, so understandable the performance version doesn't have heat. The seats in the US are a mystery. It was originally included in the interior package pre-release, but when they started building them, they came out of the interior package and the package price went down. You can get vented seats in the C300, and I believe ion the C450 in Canada, because it gets so much warmer there. Just not in the C450 in the US.

With the seats I think it depends on what seats you get. If you get the designo leather with the sport seats and the diamond stitching it doesn't have the heating and ventilation. But I think the regular seats have it.

Has anyone got an update on when orders of the C450 are available for Australia? For performance and expected price it ticks my boxes, but I am an impatient man!

Brutus2015

The non sport designo seats do have heat but no cooling. I have the brown designo. They are awesome!

z28lt1

In the US (and perhaps only in the US) vented seats are not available with any seat style for the C450.

Picked her up last week

Looks awesome in red! And must've been thrilling driving the C450 going 20km on the DVP haha :P

Btw, are you driving on the summer performance tires right now in the Arctic cold weather in Toronto?

stolenfire

I have been for the past week to and from work everyday! Honestly its do-able if you drive sensibly...

ashap

Mine should be here at the end of March/beginning of April, and have been a bit concerned obviously what the weather would be like then in terms of the summer tires - but that's really good to know that it's been quite doable for ya this last week!

Drive safe

My dealer said this week that the C450 will not be coming to OZ, MB OZ will wait for the release of the C43 which is expected to arrive late this year.

Has anyone found a good place for accessories for the C450?
