yea it looks great! I mean bmw needs to have a car to compete with that.. so essentially a mini 6 series.. the closest I can think of is a 1 series and well in the looks dept at least it's no contest for me that the cla takes the cake compared to a 1 series

KwlAznKid · 09-28-2013, 03:19 PM

just test drove the cla, VERY impressed, honestly it was beyond what i expected.. dct shifting was quick (not lightning fast but still pretty fast) and tons of standard features, not bad at all... for a front wheel drive car it takes corners very well

GSEN820 · 09-28-2013, 04:14 PM

I have heard some good things about CLA.....I will have to drive one sometime......

GSEN820 · 09-28-2013, 04:20 PM

Coilover installation went way too low........

GSEN820 · 09-28-2013, 04:24 PM

Any Opinions on HRE's? Still debating if I like lip on my car.....I love some concave rims so I am on the fence. I know cant go wrong with HRE.

Test drove it recently too. Nice car. But man does it get expensive when you start to add options. And the cherry on top the illuminated star is $1500 or so. Optioned out it's $50K. CLA45 AMG fun car is going to be over sticker so $60K to $65K, which puts it in C63 AMG territory. Really would have liked the A series to come to the US though. Lexus IS250 would be a good option as well. Sales went up 23% in August.

Yeah it's a bit low and it will be a scrap magnet. Had my Konis installed and it dropped ever so slightly. It was already lowered on Eibach Pro Kit springs. Only time I scrap is coming out of the garage.

Looks like Volk to me. But check out the HRE Flow Formed. Looks great to me. Would have purchased that instead of what I have now if it were available at the time.
