Hi folks,

I'm looking to get a used CLA45 and have come across two good choices. Which one would you chose?

1) 2014 CLA45 22k miles, pretty much fully loaded, including the AMG perf seats/exhaust/steering wheel (which is what I want the most). warranty for 2 more years (unlimited miles) as it is a CPO.
2) 2016 CLA45 9k miles, with only the premium and multimedia packages. Not a CPO but existing warranty for another 3 years or up to 50k miles.

I'm really torn between these two because I obviously like the options of (1), while (2) is obviously the improved mechanical car. (2) is asking for about $2k more than (1), which I think is also quite a bargain given the mechanical improvements. If I had to decide now, I would probably go with (1) due to the performance seats/steering wheel/exhaust and other options, but I know that I would definitely regret missing out on the extra 20bhp and upgraded DCT. I also did sit down (and test drive) the 2016 and the standard seats and steering wheel felt fine and comfortable. Yes, I know I can always wait, but if you had to make a choice now, which would you go for?

Thanks!

this is a no brainer !
2014 has NO keyless go.
the 2016 might have the optional keyless go.
i wouldnt get a car without keyless go.

Definitely get the 2016, major improvements to the tranny. Also, make sure you get a car with the driver assistance pack(perf pack) with the front limited slip diff. Why they offer the car without it makes no sense to me.

Keyless is definitely a go...

Thanks all. Well, the 2016 has the "potential fire" recall that was just announced recently, so it'll need to get the fixed first. Also, the 2016 does have keyless start as standard equipment, but keyless-go is still an option.
