GLA,CLA,C?

[woofie]

hi all,

 

need some advice, which model should i change my A200 to?

GLA180, CLA200 or C180?

[keltanky]

From A, i would rather climb to C, as it's a different platform.

A , CLA and GLA are all same platform

[BabyA]

If u ask me, i would change to A45... same platform or not, it is very different from A200, the choices u presented or even the C-Klasse as commented.

If die die must choose from the options provided... i will go for GLA or C.

Ultimately, it is personal based on ur needs. If money is of no concern and domestic conditions allow, i wont change to Merc

I would say go for c180 for now.

1. RWD

2. higher OMV

3. same road tax

4. higher future resale?

C is built in south africa?

[Darkseid]

Does not surprise me.  The entry level cars r mass produced in third world economies for cost reasons.  BMW has been doing that for years.  Only their higher end 6 cylinders and coupes are made in Germany.  The IL4s 320i is south african made and the build quality suxs big time.

 

I suspect the same applies for Mercs?

 

Can anyone confirm?

Strange that the C is the most expensive among the 3 classes in question being built outside of Europe, while the 'cheapest' GLA being built in Germany and the 2nd 'cheapest' CLA being built in Hungary...

Well... regardless of where it is built.... You pay for what it's worth.... Be it A, B, C or what ever model... If you are so adamant about built quality.... Look at the S class... Or Maybach...

mines made in hungary but no doubt about quality. i'm sure no matter the country make, will never go wrong with a mercedes-benz

its 2 door right?

[Arshavin]

Yes. Is 2 door car which seat 4 person

CLA is not worth it cos it is heavier (than C) and the rear seat height is really very low. Only if you like the design very much

 

C class coupe will be very expensive. prob close to E class I foresee

Huh? CLA should be a bit lighter. the weight diff is too small gap.

[Omgamg]

C class 1425

CLA 1430

 

minimal but for a small body i would have expected it to be lighter

 

anyway, I think the distinction goes down to design preference. one is sporty the other is more lux just based on 'looks' alone.

[PearlJam]

I am going jogging but cannot decide if I should wear my Nike or my Reebok.

Any advice?

 

But seriously only you can decide what you want. 

I think just keep the A200.  Be contented, there is more to life than being seen in a new Merc every now and then.

After all, the standard CLA, GLA, A & B are using the wheezy 1.6 litre engines.

Basically the same thing but just different bodies.

 

By the way, is it true that the Merc 1.6 petrol engine is sourced from Renault?
