The GLK is the better ride
The CLA just looks good but,
It doesn't feel like a benz when you drive it(engine*)
The interior feels.very cheap, when compared to other benz.
It's not as rugged as other benz and it can't take a beating(can't take abuse)
The car just looks good on the outside, but some compromises had to made internally, to give it such a cheap price tag.
German outside
Japanese inside

Glk is better. It’s rugged and quite pocket friendly…the Cla isn’t pocket friendly, and it’s not a rugged ride.

You have said it all. Op CLA is a low standard benz with cheap interior that is not associated with benz. It is in Nigeria that people overhype CLA because it has a benz badge.

Comparing CLA with GLK is like comparing night with day, I believe you already know which is night and which is day

it's beautiful from the outside but a really stupid entry level car with its FRONT WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM.

Long story short, it doesn't drive like a real mercedes, and you wouldn't experience the thrills of a mercedes driving it.

Imagine driving a car bought with millions of naira only to be getting a corolla vibe in a fancy body.
Cla is all shade of wrong and the engine is crap

But if you insist, don't ever go beyond 100km

I hope you didn't let the negative comments on here hold you back from purchasing the car. Most of the people commenting haven't even owned one themselves!

I can speak from experience, as I own a 2016 CLA 250 4Matic, and I can tell you it's one of the most reliable and enjoyable rides I've ever had so far.

In the two years I've owned it, I've never had to take it to the mechanic for any issues.

If you're still unsure, just look at the JD Power ratings - i posted a picture below . it has a 4 out of 5 rating, which speaks for itself. I've also owned a 2013 E350, 2015 C300, and 2020 A Series, so I am not entirely sure why ignoramus people on here say it doesn't drive like a true Mercedes, but I'm very sure they can't explain why.

So pls Don't let ignorance and nairaland dullards hold you back - this car is a truly great choice!

Why compare a 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder? It's not a fair comparison, especially when it comes to speed. We both know that.

And as for handling, come on bro ! Don’t even go there
( The steering is soft and responsive, making maneuvering and overtaking a breeze).
That car has one of the best handling systems out there. Sure, there are some higher-end Mercedes that might give you even better handling, but those will cost you an arm and a leg!

I'm saying my older C350 2013 handles better than my C300 2016 and the cousins CLA250. 2010-2014 was the peak of mercedes engineering....Do u hear how awful the C63 AmG 2024 sounds?? Like a corolla grin

I get this strange feeling like we’ve had a conversation in the past.


Anyway, I’m pretty sure you’ve never actually driven those cars you mentioned over there .


Also I'm sharing my personal experience with the 2016 Mercedes CLA 4Matic model. No be hearsay or something I read from blog or my cousin give me car to drive first grin . I've owned this car for over two years, and I am in the best position to tell you, it handles exceptionally well. Having driven various Mercedes models, I can confidently say that there's no significant difference in handling between them.

Yes, higher-end Mercedes models may offer better handling, but they come with a hefty price tag - a significant payout !

Who even get 120miilion for s class or 60-80million for the E-class , because I heard the latest e class drive like an S-class . Same car literally just different badge.


One more thing ,

I don’t why Most of us Nigerians, we go buy a car for 15 million naira and then expect it to be like a 60 million naira car ! Same thing with a V4 engine, we expect it to perform like a V8! Like that guy on Top of me .grin

overall I think The Mercedes engineers did an excellent job with the Cla, tuning the suspension, steering, and chassis for a responsive and composed driving experience. Which makes them a joy to drive on twisty roads , curves & cornering.

So finally...with these few points of mine...The GLK is a far better, stronger and faster and more balanced car than the CLA250......OP shud pick it without even batting an eyelid! That GLK has the M276 engine which is super fast and strong! Selah cool

What few points ? What is wrong with this dude sef ?! You can’t just claim something is better without explaining why! Your opinion is useless if you can’t back it up!

You listed four points, but that’s not an explanation! You need to actually make a case for why a Glk is better. And to say an SUV is more balanced than a sedan?! Is extremely Laughable 😂






Last chance: I willingly to give you another chance to back up your claims or get the hell out! If you can’t explain your four points, your opinion means nothing. And if you can’t contribute to the conversation, I hope you get kicked out of this thread for being such a nuisance !”


And another thing, did you seriously just claim that an SUV is more stable than a sedan?
I feel sorry for anyone that would takes you seriously or follows your advice on this thread.
