2016 CLA45 AMG

Trade CLA45 for CLS63S?

Hello All,
I'm new to the forum but have read a lot of great posts on here for a while. Wanted to bounce this one off my fellow Merc drivers while I wrestle with the thought myself.

I currently own a 2016 CLA45 (18k miles) with about every option including the amazing recaro seats and enjoy the car about as much as any owner. I just sold my Dodge Challenger which was modded up nicely and really missing that v8 in a bad way. The CLA was originally meant to be my compromise daily driver vehicle fuel, power, touch of luxury. Debated on building up my Challenger for a while but I threw a feeler a month ago and got great offer well over KBB. I've also been toying around with some AMS upgrades as an alternative.

Any opinions?

Thanks
Rob

Totally different cars. If you drive one, you will make the switch to the 63. They make big gains on a tune and can clock low 3 sec 0-60s all day while being riding in comfort. Not to mention they have much less road noise. It isn't as nimble as the 45, but it does everything else better and can make some monster power with the 5.5.
