Guys, I'm considering the CLA45 AMG for my new daily driver, can you please give me an idea of how it feels with the adaptive suspension in Comfort?

How does it ride?
To answer your question, my mother (she is 70) rode in my CLA 45 and she said the car was really comfortable and rode smoothly. It was in comfort mode with the sport suspension and AMG seats. HTH

I got non adaptive suspension and its firm but very refined. Coming from an Alfa Giulia that had adaptive suspension and strangely my wife and kids think the CLA 45 rides better. They also think its more comfortable and roomy, I find that odd too but am super happy to hear it since I was worried they'd think it was too small or too stiff.

From the picture it looks right. My car is out this week getting the windows tinted and ppf'd. Once it gets back I'll check mine.
As for the denim blue, my local dealer had one last year when I was ordering my car. It was my second choice once I saw it in the sunlight. Denim blue looks fantastic! Hard to find any color that the CLA45 doesn't look good in though.

Very supple ride, and pretty much everything you could hope for out of a car capable of cornering at 1g. It's no wafter, and you will hear road noise, but this is why you buy a car like this.

Weird, I thought it comes from factory and the dealer doesn't have to install it themselves, in your case maybe they forgot to install it at factory level. I believe it should have the VIN sticker on it too. I believe only the front one doesn't have it installed from factory which the dealership needs to install themselves as not all states require front plates.

I was on the phone today with MB customer service again for the 2nd time and explained what was going on. He asked me where I purchased the car then he put me hold .When he came back the GM of the dealership was on the line also and he said ,they would take care of the for me . Sometimes emails and phone calls do work lol

They never admit fault, I'm sure Mercedes told them to do it . I'm very disappointed with them. I purchased a 2021 GLA 35 last October and then the CLA this year . My salesman said there was not a bracket for the CLA .When I emailed my salesman and told him MB said there was a bracket. He emailed me back later and said that's a universal bracket we have that in stock, talk to Bill in the parts department . He should of said, we will help you with this and get it for you for being a loyal customer. I have learned my lesson and next time, I will not buy from them again

Yeah thats ridiculous
my dealership literally asked me if I wanted the front plate on it before they drilled holes (I said noooo thanks).
Rear plate was already installed afaik.
Glad to hear everyones getting their 2022s, enjoy!
Car is a hell of alot of fun after the break in period.

I ordered my CLA 45 back in April '21. My car was finally built on Jan 14th, 2022. It made the boat ride over and arrived at Baltimore on 3/8/22. We'll see how long mine sits. My dealer is expecting me to take delivery by the end of the month. You guys have me concerned, anyone get news of their car headed there way?
UPDATE 3/17/22 - Still at VPC waiting no word on a truck yet.
UPDATE 3/22/22 - Spoke to another dealership about another car. During the conversation my CLA45 came up and the salesperson offered to call VPC about the status update of my CLA (they're a MB dealer as well). VPC told them it was waiting on the canards and spoiler that were coming from Germany. In addition, the salesperson "hot listed" the car as a sold unit and it will be pushed to the front of the line except those that are already hot listed. VPC said they expected the part to arrive within 30 days. Another month possibly more depending on how many cars are of ahead mine. I ordered this car last April, so about a year! As for my Ariel Atom 4, it will be 2 years come this May!
UPDATE 3/30/22 - Stopped by the dealer to drop off the RennTech software for them to install and car was sitting on the tech's rack. Taking delivery tomorrow 3/31/22. Clean Bra and window tint next week.

I like Magno paints too, but I fear that Mountain Grey Magno might be too close to my Platinum Magno. I don't want a mini clone of the 507!
