I did try it, and totally agree on your assessment of the driving feel. I have a few requirements: 4~door, 4 passenger. I looked at the G70 and considered and reconsidered the S4, as well as a few of the other suggestions, but it’s really that sub-compact / compact hot hatch or sedan that I love. I guess i need to grow up eventually. Lol.

True, I forgot there are no more new ones.

I guess B58 is probably the only selling point especially in such segment to have an inline 6.

Sounds good, good luck with your order.

The G70 is a really nice car. It was my backup plan if I wasn't able to get a CLA45... but the driving experience isn't as intense as in the CLA45.

I'm not sure if you're in the Toronto area but here's a new one for sale... https://www.autotrader.ca/a/mercedes...0123130210617/

EDIT: I see you are in Toronto... DM me and if interested I know a good sales guy that can help you with that.

That's a sweet-looking CLA45 almost makes me wish I ordered red.
Am I reading that correctly, appears the dealer has added about a 5K markup?

Yeah... I saw some dealers in the Toronto area messing with the prices shown. I called them and they claim it's not marked up... but that they added stuff like freight, etc. to the price. I dunno... seems fishy.
