Entry level conti car comparison

[veryhonestguy]

Didn’t really compare price in detail during my car shopping in Jan, but drive feel is really Bmw better

Heads up display. Speed limit + speedometer + GPS and alerts projected onto the windscreen so you don't have to take eyes away from road for the information

why force yourself to have a small entry-level conti?
Regardless, i'll avoid 2-door and also CLA (it's practically a 2-seater car).

Do consider the possibility you'll have children down the road... what are you gonna do then? sell the car for a bigger one?

I vote Mercedes for comfort and style, BMW for performance and agility, Volkswagen for practicality out of the 3. So it depends on which is your priority.

The new model CLA looks well worth it
I repeat the brand new model not the current facelift one

you buy any of the conti mid-size sedan cars also very hard to go wrong.

you can throw a dart at a board and you'll be fine in whichever you end up.

in any case, pick one of the conti's that looks the nicest to you, and drives the nicest for you, and go with that

lemons exist across all brands, so just conduct some due diligence when picking up your ride.

yeah. the new CLA looks really good.

If you have no use for rear seats for a while, then go with a coupe - just because you can.

If you rather be more practical and forward thinking, get a 4-door with sufficient rear seat headroom. CLA headroom is "ok", as us sgeans aren't as tall as the majority of our angmoh reviews we see on youtube.

Just don't forget, amongst the models you are looking to compare in your original post - the CLA/A class are the latest to receive a cycle refresh, so they will be the most updated of the lot.

Buying a BMW, audi, merc, volvo, jaguar has some factor of prestige IMHO. I mean they are luxury continental car brands right.

But, merc and Volvo now have large shareholdings from Geely which is from China.
Jaguar is Tata which is Indian.
So, to me, you buy this kind of continental car for prestige but actually it's Indian or Chinese nowadays. That's not continental. That's more an embarrassment than prestige if you ask me. So, bottom line, only BMW or audi remain to purchase.

that's a little bit of an odd approach... so you're okay with audi even though they are owned by VW which also has a questionable german past?

Are you kidding me? BMW except the handling, nothing else is that fantastic
As for Audi don’t even get me started, besides trying to add new tech stuff, it is but a glorified Volkswagen
And the GearBox.....hmm
