A 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 went on our buy-list well before the new sedan hit dealers. It had unique styling, front-wheel drive and a base price of around $30K. It was new territory for the German automaker, one that had huge potential but was also a huge risk. Standard equipment included the 208-horsepower, 2. 0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission, front-wheel drive, 17-inch wheels, eight-way seats, MBTex upholstery and mbrace2 emergency system... Optional items included the Premium package ($2,300), with its dual-zone climate control, heated front seat and auto-dimming mirrors. The Multimedia package ($2,370) increased the display screen size to 7 inches and added a rearview camera, CD changer, Harman Kardon sound system, 10GB hard drive, navigation and voice commands. All together, our Cirrus White 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 cost $35,000 even. While driving the mountain roads selected for its photo shoot, the CLA250 demonstrated the sort of darty, light-on-its-toes feel I expect from the best compact front drivers.
