Nice!! Congrats! I am still unsure about the spoiler….I think I need to see one in person before I do it. It looks good on the C63 but on the CLA 45 I don't know. I still like how the rear view of the car looks classy and elegant while still being sporty and AMG like given its swooping roof line and rear diffuser.

Congrats on the purchase and thanks for sharing your feedback. I put a deposit down a few weeks ago on one too. I was on the fence about whether or not to order the performance exhaust after listening to some of the video clips online so I didn't add that as an option. After reading your post as well as posts from others who also got the performance exhaust, I visited my dealer yesterday and told him to add that option to my order. In about 4-6 weeks I too will be a proud owner of a new CLA45 AMG.

My sales guy called me a few minutes ago and said that he added the performance exhaust just in the nick of time. The build status on my car had gone from green to yellow meaning it is in now in the process of being built but not too late to modify the order. I'm glad I paid him a visit over the weekend.

I enjoy your enthusiasm but really this is not a race car and I personally think that the sunroof and performance seats is a must.

And if you think that the interior is better than any other AMG car then you really really need to get your eyes checked or go to the dealer and sit in every other AMG before saying that.

I have sat in every AMG car at the Fall 2013 AMG performance event for clients, he is correct, CLA 45 with carbon fiber is one of the nicest 'sporty' interiors. It is too difficult to pick any one particular interior as nicest, but the CLA 45 has to be seen in person

This isn't a race car but it is a high performance car. If I want straight up luxury than I wouldn't have bought this car. I have a sunroof on every other car I own and I never use it. Plus I do not like the look of a black top on a white car....and the sunroof makes half the roof black. The performance seats are very nice but they come at a big price. The stock ones look very nice and I am a competitive bodybuilder so I don't fit into most performance seats. I have seen the interiors of other AMGs. Personally I like the CLA45 the best. But thanks for your help.

I ordered my CLA45 in white and decided not to get the sunroof for the same 2 reasons you did.

I love the black pano roof on a white car, one of the best parts IMO….its personal taste I suppose

Exactly! WTF you can't go wrong either way the car is great! That is the whole point I was trying to make...no matter what options you get and even if you keep it pretty much stock I am sure you will enjoy the car.
