First four-door Audi A3 takes on Benz's junior CLS, the Mercedes-Benz CLA200, in a battle of the German compact executive sedans.
Small luxury cars are big, big business, and no other company has captured the market quite as well as Mercedes-Benz. The German marque formerly had a limited footprint in compact car classes, but now there are a handful of affordable autos available, from as little as $36,900 plus on-road costs...
Business culture dictates that a hatchback isn’t as corporate as an equivalent sedan, so luckily for junior executives with sub-$50,000 purchasing power there are new options – the Audi A3 sedan and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. Never before have premium German manufacturers offered a sedan variant below the medium-sized BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class that cost around $15,000 more in entry-level specification...
The next-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA has been spied for the first time, putting along the snowy roads of Sweden. While the vehicle remains heavily camouflaged, it's pretty clear the new CLA will continue to be a 'mini me' to the larger CLS. It also wears a similar front end to the new-generation A-Class prototypes that have been spotted recently, reinforcing the small four-door coupe's family link to its hatchbacked sibling...

I own a 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport 4MATIC WhiteArt Edition. I have owned it for 2.5 months now and it has been a pleasure to own and drive. The exterior styling is amazing – the car has sleek lines, it is low to the ground, and its aggressive styling really sets this car off nicely on the road...
What comes to mind if I told you to think about Mercedes-AMG 10 years ago? Is it images of big, powerful, ruthless beasts? Or high displacement, naturally aspirated V8s that sound snarlier and raspier than the cough of a man that has been smoking all his life? Perhaps what immediately came to mind was an AMG effortlessly painting a set of skids along the road? Well, if what came to mind is similar to what I just wrote about, you’d be right on the money...
Only a week old and the run in limitations are much more painful than you would think. Limiting RPMs to under 4500 is hard because that is when the car really starts to mumbo and the exhaust note goes from normal to "nuts".
