This place is a joke.

This hits home, especially to all of us slaving away at the dealerships with no pay raises for 20 years while Mercedes continues to devalue their products and history all in the name of "record sales."

And it just so happens that the CLA is "trouble" by Consumer Reports:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/...lity/18040393/

Entry-level 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 is among the least reliable cars in the latest Consumer Reports reliability survey.Says CR: "A raft of problems, including squeaks and rattles; engine issues, bad audio and electrical problems."

I have yet to see one but had a friend who test drove them and said he would prefer the chevy cruise over it. Claimed it never knew what gear to be in and the overall interior quality and feel was no where near my 10 year old 55. I personally don't like them purely for the fact that they diminish the value of the mercedes name, next thing you know they will start offering the taxi line that you find in Europe with cloth seats.

"Don't worry , I won't tell him that you thought CLA was cute"

I fell on the floor hahaha

Jeremy also said the same thing once upon a time- that the quality is going down.

First sign is -never recalled our fuel sending units lol
