I drive a c63 coupe in the summer and putting it away in the winter was maddening. After much research I decided the cla45 would be winter drive able and still provide that fun kick I'm used to. Was that ever right! Even in the breakin period this car is a joy to drive. The sound the performance exhaust makes is gutsy!
The guys at Victoria star motors as usual were awesome and their suggestions proved invaluable. If anyone is on the fence, climb on in. Oh and be sure and get the amg performance seats. Best upgrade to be sure.

Congrats! Hard to find one available this year here in the Midwest. How is the steering feel on the car? If you had driven a CLA250 or C63 how does it compare?

CPUDOC

I own a c63 coupe edition 1 and the steering on this car is not as heavy but not nearly as light as my wife's new glk. It doesn't feel quite like any other Benz I have driven. I have to admit it was the first thing I noticed and wondered hmm about.I'm still in breakin so I won't be tracking quite yet, but is very responsive in town and on the highway.

Thanks for your reply. I had driven an older C63 with performance pack and I realize the initial turn in is kinda quick but then the steering becomes heavy and less sharp. I had a TTRS and love the car expect I could not stand the numb steering and it rides lower than a R8 which is ridiculous. As long as it's good as the C63 steering feel I would be satisfied.

Congrats. Post pics please

Hmm what service is everyone using to post pics? Just came back from a 300km road trip and it's dirty but I took one for tonight if I can figure out how to post it

I right clicked on the image on imgur.com and selected Copy Image Location. Then in the Reply to Thread box I clicked on the Insert Image Icon at the top (Yellow background with a pic of a mountain) and an URL request box opens. Select Ctrl + V keys to paste the URL from imgur.com into this box and voila.

CPUDOC

Odd I did that and it gave a link that said click here to enlarge but the pic didn't show up. Either way thanks!

I would love to see two things:

1) Countless more pics of the exterior;

2) Dozens of interior shots.

Congrats OP! But please feed us more pics. There aren't many of these bad boys in the wild!

Perfect. Those seats are absolutely gorgeous. How do you like them?

CPUDOC

The seats are awesome. As functional as they are pretty.

That car looks amazing!!!

Nice. Is that the "red cut" leather pkg? Do you have the contrast stitching on dash? How comfortable are the Recaro's?

CPUDOC

It does have red sticking on the dash. In black leather.

The recaros are quite comfy.
