EZZ Thanks a lot! Garage Talk is now on my phone. I looked on Tapatalk, but it's not there.
I used Tapatalk for the Mercedes CLA forum, until I totaled the car on October 8, very sadly.
The car saved me though. Thanks once again!
Premier3IS, can you tell me your impressions of your 2016 IS 200t F Sport. I just bought mine on Wednesday. Thanks so much.
Congrats on your new car. I actually turned mines in in September and if you'd like to see a thread where I discussed some of the things I liked about the IS (its lenghty but I did a comparison on my post and you'll get a good idea), you can go here below:
Overall it was a great car, I loved the cockpit feel in the inside and the seats are unmatched. The bucket seats fit perfectly and are extremely comfortable. The exterior has its sharp lines and even still for being a car that is around 5-6 years old, it looks new and up to date. Handles extremely well, felt like I could hit turns going faster than expected without an issue. The F-Sport instrument panel was nice too and the fact that the car has ventilated seats is a plus. On the negative side, the car eats through brakes and tires. I replaced my rotors and brakes after around 12k miles. The turbo lag is pretty bad and mainly... the car is not fast by any means (even though people who don't own one think it is ). And one more thing to add is the infotainment system is pretty outdated and the navigation is only good for looks since its easier to enter in addressed on your phone... The infotainment system need a major revamp on the new 4IS whenever it comes out, all other luxury car brands I feel are way ahead in the game.
There's been a lot of discussions on the car in the forum so just search away and read, there's many members here who've given detailed reviews on it. You'll enjoy the car, its a great luxury sedan as long as you don't expect it to be fast. I enjoyed mines for the 3 years I owned it... turned back and looked at it every time I walked away!

I totaled my MB CLA 250 on October 8. That car was indeed faster than my F Sport. I don't care that much, really. I went for Lexus for the long
term reliability and was hooked on this car. The turbo lag doesn't bother me that much. My CLA was the first model year and the dual clutch
transmission had a lag as well. I don't drive cars hard, but I'm not a slow driver. I am a bit concerned about tires wearing out quickly, and hope
the brakes don't do the same for me. I know the car is heavy. I don't mind the joy stick Enform controller. I trained the navigation to my voice.
It seems to get the address if I enunciate clearly. I put in my house as Home, which is a nice convenience. I also know if I have problems with
navigation, I can bluetooth audio from Google Maps on my phone and have the audio go through the stereo system. It is a stunning looking car.
Having had the CLA in my driveway, it doesn't quite compare to that car, but it is certainly a great looking car. So far, I love the car. I hope I love
it as much down the road as well. Thank you for your assessment, and I will read your post.
Oh yes, my daughter drove us to dinner Friday night, and said it didn't have the same "pull" as the CLA. I don't really need it, but she does.
She'll be graduating nursing school from University of San Francisco next year and plans on getting a BMW M4. Plenty of pull, for sure!
