Hey everyone, my name is Aaron. I’ve owned a w204 c300 Sport since 2013 — it’s paid-off and has mods already done plus several waiting to be installed. However, I had a bad experience with some issues, especially the wrap job (seen in my signature) it looks great from a distance but has allot of problems and cost me $4,600.


2018 Yellow Night Edition

I’m considering jumping into a C117 AMG 2017-19 and wondering what the community thinks if that transition?

I also have a new set if Vossen CVTs that I’d like to transition to a CLA45 AMG and wondering they’d fit: 19x8.5 +45 Front | 19x10 +55 Back

What’s overall thoughts on CLA45 AMG as a daily driver, performance, reliability and driving experience?

My main reasons for consideration:

• AWD
• INTERIOR DESIGN
• AGRESSIVE EXTERIOR (not as bubbly as C63s)
• EXHAUST NOTE
• PRICE-POINT

Thanks for your help!

yes cla45 are good cars and must be patient with buying it,
focus on getting
panoramic sunroof for example alot don't come with it and its amazing on the cla45
make sure no leakage or bad noise coming from rear and front or middle too because here where you going to play all the time all wheel drive,
make sure you get the exhaust flap
and the the race package premium sound sys
the cla isn't a amg without those things
you dont do the mistake of me and buy a naked car
no race package
no premium sound or even panoramic sunroof
get them all or wait until you find the one.
make sure you can work and do minor mechanical repairs
oil changes and brake and rotors jobs
in the end I'm loving mine ,

Yeah, I’m tryna do a test drive today or tomorrow with one near me. It’s the Yellow Night Edition (I won’t buy it unless it’s that package) and I want to confirm those items: Premium Sound, Sun Roof, Race Package.

I’ve already spent thousands on mods for my w2o4 and won’t easily buy my next Benz missing out on features I’m looking for.

I’ve been trying to learn how to visually spot features I’m interested in.

Some CLA45s Don’t have the knob at all near shifter to switch between performance modes.

Others do but seem to only have Individual, Comfort, Sport and Sport+.

And then even harder to find is the Race option, which seems to also include the Adaptive Suspension.

What’s the difference between Sport+ and Race — and what option determines whether or not there’s even a drive mode knob?

Wow, this CLA45 community is like dead.... crickets — compared to w204 community where people post constantly. It’s tough to find a CLA45 AMG C117 with the options I want. Race Mode is near impossible to find.
