Lol. My evo only makes 307hp to the wheels. It handles great though. A very capable track car. I'm just getting older I guess and wanted a little bit of comfort and luxury now. The 3is's interior is just so nice. None of its competitors really match it in terms of beauty.

the price of the 350 over the 250 is an even better deal than last gen, now its $3500-4000 and now you get an 8 speed over the 6 speed, Sport+ mode, as well as the bigger engine, bigger brakes. On last gen, it was $5k for engine and bigger brakes only. With the NX coming out with a 2.0t with 237hp its a matter of time that the 250 engine gets replaced to that new engine. Dont know if it will be on 2015 model or not.

When not next to eachother, I thought my IS was a bigger car, overall. But then side by side, I realized that they are just about the same size, except the cabin the CLA feels so much more compact than the IS (Fine for me though because I'm small lol).
It really is a much easier comparison when they are side by side and you can see/feel the differences right there in person. The next best thing would be a back to back test drive of both vehicles

The CLA on the road looks a bit like a sausage. It is long and skinny. It needs to be wider. It doesn't look muscular and athletic. Waiting to see the A3. That may look good although in pics it looks kind of boring. Here in LA the 3IS are killing the CLA. I can't believe how many 3IS I see. Very few CLA's.

MB has the best key, but other than that, not so much. The euro pedestrian impact regulations have ruined the looks of MB, and BMW. The front styling has become too up right, not swoopy enough.
