    Should I buy one?

    Both the diesel and petrol CLA don’t feel particularly sporty to drive. The CLA 200 petrol, though more entertaining than the modestly powered CLA 200 CDI, still isn’t the car that you want to wring by the scruff of its neck. These cars are for more gentle, everyday motoring, and do a very good job at that. The cabin is a great place to be if you’re going to be sitting up front, and interior quality will keep reminding you that you’re sitting in nothing less than a Mercedes. But if there is one reason to buy the CLA, it’s got to be the stunning styling. This is one car that turned heads wherever we went. It’s a car that makes you feel special and that’s what first-time CLA buyers, aspiring to own a car with the three-pointed star, will certainly want. The understated and unremarkable-looking Audi A3 better watch out.
