I can’t find any lease rate or car loan that isn’t more than the interest rate on a CD. In short..if I finance I’m losing money on the interest rate. Plus the leases have mile restrictions. I also can’t gift it to my son if I decide to give him the car…he is in his mid 20s and looking to settle down in the next few years with his current girlfriend.

Also the wheels should be no more than 18 inches so one needs a separate set. You don't want to ruin your AMG wheels in winter.

Hot off the presses, MBUSA just announced the W206 C 43!
The dealer ordering guide is also available as of today. I know this is the W206 C 63 forum, but there isn't one for the C 43, so this seemed like the best place to post.
Please also see the MBUSA Quick Reference Guide. Arrives at US dealers late 2022, but don't be surprised if that slips into 2023!

So you don't know much about cars but think you do? Please continue reading.

One negative is it's a second slower in acceleration test. Subjectively, I much prefer MB interior to that of BMW and certainly to Audi's.

He's correct to imply that all three of these vehicles, despite the fact that they are in the same segment from a pricing perspective AND the fact that even the manufacturers themselves will see these three models as direct competitors, they are all great vehicles in their own right, and each of them does what it sets out to do very, very well. In this automotive age where the streets are dominated by SUVs and EVs, I'm so thankful that we still have petrol sedan choices. Get them while you can, as I think that these models may become targets for collectors' in less time than you might think.

I know people get caught up in battling the cars in the segment from each brand (I’ve done it myself) but at the end of the day it’s nice knowing we all have a bunch of choices when it comes to choosing a car that suits us best. Like you said, the Audi, BMW, and Mercedes all do it differently and it’s ultimately up to you what you want out of the car

It's not a bad review, considering in was on winter or all seasons 19s. It's obvious he did not expect such great handing and was kind of shocked. There is always a BMW bias with most reviewers when it comes to handling.

Where about is the mic in the exhaust, and does the heat of the exhaust affect it or will it destroy it when time moves on? The good news is I haven't heard any of those types of complaints on the CLA 45 S in terms of failing microphone in the exhaust, I guess it is a good option to have if it is reliable, last I want is the microphone failing or partially failing and capturing distorted sound and playing through the speakers, you can't turn it off so that might become annoying.

Well, I was curious if there were anything special about the mic used in the exhaust, more interested knowing how annoying it may be if it started to fail and play distorted sounds through the speaker.
