Didn't know this car existed a week ago. Well I happened to be in the dealer for a seperate issue. Then I saw this Sedan in the AMG section.
I was sure I didn't want another road weapon but the Sedan from the front/side looked like a C class. I was intruiged. Big enough and a sedan. Been wanting a sedan for a little while.

I sat in it and it was the first time I had seen the updated interior. Tech is cool and the car had some nice upgrades.
Last time I saw the tech was 4-5 years ago when I bought the current car (GLA45 2015). Things have come some way.

I like the car and decided to come back the following day for a drive. This happened to be 31st Dec and the car had a price rise in the New Year. Compared to the GLA of course this thing is much closer to the ground. Torque kicks in nice and early. Enough go for me . Denim Blue. Silver rims. I quite like it.

Happy new year to all.

I have the lowly A220 model - Except mine has had nothing but problems and I'm going to be shooting for a buyback. Mom soccer vans are off the line quicker than my car because there is just something wrong between my 1st and 2nd gear. It's like I have to take my foot off the brake for a second before pushing the gas otherwise I get unwanted jerkyness/kick or very late spool up.

I had about 15 other issues between other parts being replaced and the overall fit/finish of the vehicle.

Something is wrong. I'm hoping Mercedes will turn me into a happy customer with the replacement - but I'm doubtful.

G'day Lobwah, I think the A35 sedan is also a great little jig. Considering with the LCT, the CLA 35 is so much more $ here in Oz. The demin blue looks wonderful. Are you going to swap out the GLA for the A35? I think the A35 has enough poke for me too. Or will you wait for the GLA update to land? (if you're wedded to a cross over style) .
