Smile CLA35 4MATIC AMG or C300 for the same price?

I like the sound (pops and crackles) from the CLA35 engine and the fact that it is AMG.

But at the same time also like the bigger interior space of the C300 and its front look.

The CLA has 306 hp and C300 has 241 hp.

Prices are about the same as well in my area...

Any opinions?

When I drove CLA's I found them unrefined. The brittle ride, clunky transmission, cramped cabin and noise/vibration/harshness made the CLA feel cheap to me. I love the styling though.

If all your looking at is HP per dollar you will get 65 more horses with the CLA for the same price in your comparison but you'll be sacrificing space and refinement for that gain, at least in my opinion.

I don't think the matter is purely HP per dollar. One car is an AMG the other is a non-AMG. I am not a big fan of the CLA but I love AMG. So if the buyer is an AMG lover he will definitely grab that CLA over a C300. If you give me the choice between CLA35 and C43 I will choose C43.
