Since I know Beyond loves the CLA so much (to be honest so do I) here is a side by side comparing it to the new M235i.

Found it over on 2Addicts so sorry if it is a repost.

Very interesting take on the two cars though. They really are both quite exceptional. :burnout:

The M235i undercuts the CLA45 by a fair bit of money too. M235i starts at 45k and CLA45 starts 50k. But the cla can get up to like 75+k with options lol. The bmw only maybe 55-60k area fully loaded out the door.

I like the cla45. But the BMW might have a better engine and tranny package. And its RWD... I prefer AWD for a daily driver but meh...


Both cars very appealing for sure.


also here you go

Indeed. As drivers cars go the m235i comes with a manual tranny as default. I think it's quite well equipped at base to. Nothing silly like AMG seats that drive the price up lol.

Too bad about Marc's DCT.

I know that was one of the biggest surprises is the mercs transmission should have definitely won. Maybe bmw is on to something with the zf8 sport auto?

To be fair these guys might have been idiots and left it in comfort or something. Lol
