tachment=84264:6449565400.jpg]Dear bros,

 

Almost time to change car! Been car hunting the past few months and now boil down to 3 cars. The third car is Jap so won't be talking about it here.

As per topic, any views on these 2 beauties?

 

Merc CLA - $179,800

BMW 316i Sport - $169,800

 

Both 1.6L Turbo with the merc churning out slightly more bhp.

 

Merc compromise a bit of rear headroom and boot because of the coupe silhouette.

316 and c class are for badge whores.

 

Forget to add..... CLA is not C Class ....

 

 

Sad to say that is correct... Mercedes say 1, CLA is positioned below the C Class...

Just gotten my CLA a week plus ago, is a beauty indeed with 156hp, though I'm still trying to get the good hang of it, as I was driving a Mark X of V6 2.5 lites engine before. Is a down grade in size and power, but an upgrade in branding. My CLA OMV is at 29k plus, and I got everythings I wanted as in 18" Rims, HID lights, GPS, Rev Camera etc..., and a lot of things to play with espceicaly the padde swifts can allow me to drive like F1 driver, will try to drive it like the way I drove my Mark X b4 after running in. No regret in booking this car at the price of $179,888 even though I was offered cheaper on 316 Biz model. Anyway anyone who booked their car now be it BMW, Merc etc.. and so long they are abv 130hp, you are making the right choice. COE will sky rocket till it become Cat B next year.

Congrats and enjoy your ride.

 

Handsome car, be it a BMW or MB... Enjoy your ride..

CLA sexy 1.6

BMW go for higher ends, actual BMW experience. MB for overall.

Did drive the CLA, velly nice. If you not heading north, CLA is best.

Drove bigger BMW, wah shiok man. This 3 series only gud if you can sprint, cameras every where, including car behind you, why risk it locally.

Don't understand why so many people say BMW with small 4 cylinder engine is not real BMW, but Mercedes with similar engine AND FWD is considered OK?

Becoz BMW is famous for its 6-cyclnder engines and 50/50 handling, both traits do not exist in their 4-cylinder line-up, only the badge.

 

Mercedes' forte and brand is in luxury and crazy AMG range, the CLA is something new to the game... hard to see where is it going presently.

Exactly... Mercedes' forte is luxury, comfortable, smooth and refined cars but the CLA is none of these things. Only the AMG model maybe has a hint of Mercedes DNA.

Nothing to do come in disturb a bit.

 

Owned the BMW 316 for almost a year now and very happy with my ride.

Not the fastest or most expensive car in the lineup but I only can afford this 1 [smallcry]

 

The car feels surprisingly faster than on paper and even faster after chip up.

Made many new buddies from this forum with the same ride.

 

Mods definitely more poisonous than merc and spent almost $15k liao [:p]

 

Doing about 11km/l previously 50/50 highway/urban and but dropped to about 9+km/l after changing exhaust.

U tried the new C Class?

 

If you have or going to try, I would be interested in your feedback as it's a good comparison C180 vs 316. On paper C180 with 156hp is more powerful but 316 being BMW should not be too far off although on paper is 136hp.

 

thks in advance!
