picked up a cla 45 4 xmas
So at the last minute I found a CLA45 to get 4 my girl 4 xmas and to use as a DD when she doesn't want to ride in the "race" cars...lol This car is way better than people are giving it credit for...it IS a real AMG. The amount of power the 2.0 puts down is great for this type of sport sedan. The acceleration, handling, brakes, and look is all AMG....don't sell the Baby AMG short.

Nice! Congrats on the new ride & enjoy. When you get a few miles behind the wheel, how about chiming back with a nice review?

Nice, well said! I have said before on this forum, why are so many people down playing this car, drive it first!!! The hand built 2.0 turbo should make the top 10 engines for 2014, unbelievable power and technology

The DCT and MCT trannys are completely different. MCT in C63 or E63 for example is a conventional planetary gear system with a clutch pack, no torque converter. DCT is a dual clutch, same tranny as SLS AMG, essentially a manual with no clutch pedal...LOVE IT!!!!

When you are in first, the other tranny preselects 2nd gear and the first clutch disengages when the second engages.
