Don't get the CLA either; getting the entry-level model opens you up to jealous people who will say you got "the poor man's Benz."
How about you not let other people's opinions of your car dictate what you buy? Isn't that how we ended up with all these bloated SUVs and CUVs instead of sensible, attractive and much better handling wagons they have all over Europe?
I think the popularity of SUVs and CUVs here is due to the unfair minivan stereotype, the perceived security of 4x4, an ego boost, and the ballooning overweight/obesity rates in North America (hence, people require a bigger vehicle to be comfortable in).
Sinny, target a few models of interest, and then do some research online like looking at forums, getting a feel on price on autotrader, then go out to the dealers to see how they drive and look for little things like visibility, how easy to reach controls, cupholders, comfort of seats, leg room, etc. Have fun! I dream of luxury cars almost everyday, lol, and I enjoy browsing autotrader. The knock on the CLA is that their Navigation screen looks like an aftermarket stick-on piece which is not very Mercedes, but it is a nicely-styled car. The new C-Klasse is coming out and that car will be a winner with its good looks.
