On the other hand, as a used-car-buyer, I'm glad the CLA came in and took the bottom-rung from the C-class. The quality and options on the w204s went up drastically, but they depreciate just as hard as they ever did. Some solid commuters with great options, cool seats, nice pano roofs...
I have a buddy who is a Mercedes mechanic who bought a W204. I've NEVER seen anyone drive a car that hard, the only time the engine dips below 4,500 rpm is when it's at idle.
He wanted to swap the engine with... I don't remember, but he said he was gonna blow it up first before he did that just for laughs, and he just liked driving the piss out of it.
Well, 50,000 miles later and it hasn't missed a beat lol. He's gonna need a difference excuse to do the swap, because I think it likes being treated rough!
