Question Help! Trying to decide which car to get!

So I have chosen three cars. CLA 250, C250, or the GLK 350 (I know it's a big jump.) I love the look of the CLA but the size of it is just small. I want to fit passengers. The C250 is really nice and spacious, but I'm just not sure. Then there is the GLK! It's great, and spacious. I just like being raised up in a car, i feel as if i can see more. But what do you guys think?

Sounds like maybe you should wait for the GLA? Slightly elevated ride height and more utility than the CLA or C-Class, but tidier dimensions and less expensive than the GLK. I think it's going to be a runaway success for MB.

You're on a board that features the GLK so what do you think the vast majority will say?

Too me it sounds great, but the looks aren't cutting it for me. Thanks for the suggestion!

True. But then I didn't know where else to post my question. Also due to the CLA being brand new maybe people would have a different look at it, rather then immediately saying GLK.

Perhaps if you post your concerns about the GLK you can get rebuttals?

Mine is a 250 but I like it MUCH better than the E350. I wouldn't even consider the A class cars and I like small cars.

You don't say where you are located but I assume that the 4-matic isn't important to you. I had a C300 before getting my GLK- if space is important you will value the extra room of the GLK, not to mention extra power and visibility. Gas mileage suffers but that is a compromise I made in the upgrade. I think that a base model GLK 2-wheel drive is the best value Mercedes has.
