It's interesting how much spotlight the new M2 and RS3 have taken from the CLA. All in all it's a very capable and balanced car, even if you can't do much more with a 4 cylinder engine. It was essentially doomed from the start

Unless you are a bigger individual 6’5+ or 250lbs+
I can’t see why you would buy any domestic car in its price range except maybe if you got an exceptional deal on a 1LE
It’s faster where it matters, it has AWD, and it has FAR better interior quality and exterior quality than say a mustang.
