CLA Cold Start

Roki_014 · 12-26-2013, 02:59 PM

Heard it in person very nice, car looks very nice but its 62k and the navi looks like some cheap android tablet very disappointing to see in a 60K+ car

Zeiss · 12-26-2013, 03:07 PM

Honestly for that much money it sounds hilarious! Let's all celebrate our BMWs don't sound like riced out civics!

Cup o' Joe · 12-26-2013, 03:16 PM

When it first came out, I thought it was actually not bad looking. But every time I see one in person, I dislike it more and more.

I was in the market prior to ordering my 435. The CLA45 is fast but add a simple JB4 and a 435 is more powerful.

auf Deutsch · 12-26-2013, 03:43 PM

And no that is not a good exhaust. Listen to a C63 or E55. Those are good exhausts.

I like the CLA but that price tag is simply ridiculous. It doesn't sound like a riced out Civic to me though...

hellrotm · 12-26-2013, 10:19 PM

AMG made a 4-banger sound half way decent.

Roki_014 · 12-26-2013, 11:19 PM

I dunno y do u guys say it sounds like a civic, to me it sounds 10 times better than 335i

LDSM · 12-26-2013, 11:58 PM

62k?!!

It definitely doesn't sound like a Civic. Just a general hater comment.

Roki_014 · 12-27-2013, 01:13 AM

Judging by your use of "y" and "u" it is no wonder you like that sound. VTEC kicked in yo.

Precisely.

It sounds like my nephew is farting into a can..
Its a 4 cylinder, and turbo'd on that, not much magic that can be done to make it sound good.

but it sounds better than any stock bmw car, even the m cars. I've heard various m3 and m5 stock before and those are quiet for what cars they are....

BMW wouldn't do any better with a 4-banger M-car.

Never Convicted · 12-27-2013, 12:04 PM

Definitely nothing like a Civic. More like a Crosstour.

ska///235i · 12-27-2013, 12:17 PM

So much hate and fanboy comments....$62k is prbly with the recaro seats + carbon fiber interior + perf exhaust...now go opt that on a M235i and its just as laughable

Its a euro glorified evo with everything from the factory...you go put all those on to any bmw and is well over $60k

And for further disappointment...bmw is following the trend of other makers like mercedes

I think Fiat 500 Abarths sound better as far as I4 turbos go. 62K is pushing it! But point to point, that car will be crazy fast
