Another SD card navigation question.
Not trying to knock anyone else's decision. Just giving you my impressions.
Just bought a new (to me) 2017 C-300. Dealer loaner car. 8500 miles. Previously, we had bought a new 2018 CLA250. CLA250 did not work out for us so we took it back and had a very good experience with dealer. I have a bad back from fracturing 4 vertebrae 40 years ago. I am limited as to where I can sit. Not complaining, we all got something and I am healthy and happy otherwise. Few limitations. The seat on the CLA appears to be concave, from top to bottom, starting with the fixed head rest. I only rode in the car for a few minutes as it is my wife's car. Once we got home I went for a longer ride as a passenger. Nagging back ache within 20 minutes or so and getting worse. Relief when we stopped at a restaurant and I was able to sit in a booth with a high back. We thought about fashioning some pillow arrangement but by then were thinking the car rides really hard and is too confining for us. My choice was getting a 2015-2016 E350 late model with low miles and the old 6 cylinder engine. My wife thought that car was just to big and ostentatious for her. So the C300 it is. Very happy with the car. Much different from the CLA although they appear similar from the outside. Seats and ride is much more comfortable. Few options other than the walnut dash and door trim which really sets it off. Beware if buying a CLA. Try to take a longer ride on it. This is my 10th Mercedes.
