The on-going hype surrounding the Mercedes-Benz CLA seems to have received a spike after the model was put on sale on American shores for its first month, which come as no surprise to us, actually.
After only 30 days of hitting the American showrooms, the “Baby CLS” is already the third best-sold Mercedes-Benz model in the United States, with no less than 4,985 units being sold in its first full month.
Mercedes-Benz themselves can't stop bragging its under $30,000 starting price (without designation) in a very populist fashion, as if the model's only quality would be the fact that it's the bargain entrance into the Mercedes-Benz stable.
The folks at Cars wanted to see how the only front-wheel driven three-pointed star wearer in the US was to drive and live with. They obviously also made a video review of their experience with the CLA 250, which you can watch bellow.
Apart from the fact that we didn't understand why the reviewer's jeans appeared about three sizes too large for his body stature, we found the review to be quite accurate about the CLA's ups and downs, but maybe that's just us.
