Sold c63amg! thinking cla45amg or?

Hi guys i sold my 12plate c63amg performance pack last week! Loved the torque! but the power felt on/off Hit gas and nothing! then bosh everything inc spinning wheels! ok but id say not a drivers car!!

iv looked at a cla amg today and the merc dealer said the cost for top spec car will be around 52k english! and will take to june to get car!
im loveing the looks! the rear is very nice with those shaped LED lights! must say the inside felt and looked cheaper than C63 AMG!
Can i ask if there is much turbo lag when your putting foot down around streets? as looking for fun street and odd track day car!!

Whot do you guys think of the BMW 1M and new m235i bmw!! Both none auto wich i think is more fun!!

few pics of sold c63amg

I'm thinking about upgrading my Evo IX MR to the CLA45. You seem to be an evo owner also so are you getting rid of yours?

Trying to save you, the 1M and the M235i are not "///M" cars. They MPA cars. Its a marketing stunt by BMW.
MPA stands for M Performance Automobiles.
They are trying to fool customers into believing that they are buying the real thing. Kinda like Audi and the "S" line.

Not that it matters to those that want the car, it just would seem like a shame to see you move from a beautiful real AMG car to a false POS MPA car.
Also the fact that the CLA45 is a real AMG vs the fake M235i.

+1! Stick with an AMG! You had a beautiful C63 AMG, get a beautiful CLA45 AMG. By the way, if you splurge for the carbon finer interior in the CLA45, really classes up the inside, I couldn't believe what a difference it made!

Love the colour of your C63 AMG with the black spoiler, I don't often see red AMG's but that looked great in that colour!

One of the reasons I may decide to keep my evo. It's a piece of crap except for the driving feel and fun factor.Well built car but I worry that I may not drive it if the CLA45 experience is anything close to it. Planning to use as my daily.
