2014 CLA250 Mercedes Reviewed by Matt Farah

No one can deny that Mercedes-Benz has been on a roll with many of its new design releases. One of its newest cars, which so happens to be one of the smallest cars the company makes, is having a very huge impact in the automotive industry. Its slick exterior design and modernly styled interior incorporated with a relatively low initial price has made this car a huge success for the German automaker. The car I'm speaking of is the 2014 CLA250.

Matt Fatah took the task of evaluating the smallest and the cheapest Mercedes you can buy in America which produces a base enthusiastic 208hp. CLA250 can be best described as a reasonably priced, beautifully styled, well equipped four door coupe that can easily enter the $45,000 price range with the right boxes checked.

If the CLA appeals to you and you decide to enter into the fully loaded AMG territory, be prepared for double the horsepower on a very well equipped platform that sends power to all wheels, keeping you on the road as you enjoy a car that has one of the lowest drag coefficients of just 0.23. This low drag coefficient along with a very well tuned automatic transmission working in conjunction with a small four-cylinder engine which is turbo charged, allows the CLA to achieve 38 mpg when driven efficiently. For automotive enthusiasts, the CLA represents a breath of fresh air in terms of styling, pricing and capabilities.
