Mercedes-Benz CLE Review - Is it a C-Class or an E-Class Successor? Neither!

    Brother, i have had some back issues. My Duster 2013 was perfect in terms of ride quality. The suspension could was very comfortable and the seats were thick and firm like sitting on sofa, as they didn't have a deep bucket. My Honda's and Hyundais always failed me here. So how is the suspension comfort and seat comfort wrt to the Mk 1 Duster?

    Having had both the M550i and the M5 competition, the M5 is just better in every way. The ride is a little firmer in the M5, but not so much that it is a problem. The trade off is you get massively better handling characteristics, better acceleration, and less depreciation. Plus, with the M5 you get a car that is part of a legendary history, with instant enthusiast cred. Most of the videos on this topic push the M550i and all say things like “it’s all you would ever need” or “it’s cheaper”, or “you can tune it so it’s basically an M5”. Sometimes though, you just want the real deal and not the “almost” version. You don’t want to have to explain why it’s not really an M5 or give a dissertation on why your car is nearly as good and how you’re such a savvy car shopper. Again, I’ve had both, If you are on the fence, and you are an enthusiast of any sort, my advice is to grab a low mileage F90 M5 now, as the values are only going to increase now that the 5500 lb hybrid monstrosity new car was just released.

    I bought a 6 month old 1968 TR4 A IRS For $1800 from a NASA worker that was being transferred 1/2 way across the world. Very nice car I tore down the engine and had it blueprinted. Chopped and ported the head. Eventually had those horrible Gargoyle signal lights on the front fenders removed along with anything that had chrome including the bumpers and TRIUMPH lettering. Drove it to the Bay Area in CA in about 28 hours. !20 mph (6000 RPM) through a tank of gas through West Texas. There was not much Interstate back then. Even non car people admired this cars stripped down looks. Sadly a woman rear ended it while it was parked totallying it out. Insurance company paid me $1800 and let me keep it. Purist look down on the IRS but that's what I prefer, and I have driven a number of 3's and 4's with conventional rear axle.

    I wished rear ac vent was provided in the new duster because in the old duster the rear passengers had to suffer as the air-conditioner in the old duster was below average and without a rear ac vent it was almost impossible for rear passengers to travel longer distances in hot summer days. Also disappointed with the fuel economy in the AWD version of the new duster.

    I was considering to buy 4X4 version, because sometimes I use forest roads and in slippery conditions 4X4 can help out a lot. Also we have 3 months of snow and ice in the winter - another reason to prefere 4X4. However I am a bit dissapointed about average fuel consumption (~7L/100km), old version's diesel engine had some advantage in that regard. About hesitations not to buy this car: no information yet about the durability of this new model, about how long the engine will run and possible birth-defects. Possible alternatives for me in the same price range: VW Tiguan 4X4, 3-5 years old car with ~100 000km mileage, but as a drawback no warranty period anymore etc.

    • @GabrielNica
      @GabrielNica 27 дней назад

      Older, pre-owned cars will always come with a certain risk element. Yes, the fuel consumption is higher than in the old diesel Duster but I think it's not going to be that bad overall. As for the reliability, it's too early to call it.

    We have a stepway base model. There is no traction control 'off switch'. The 'traction control' works by cutting the gas when encountering loss of traction. What that means is that we are stranded every time we get ice or snow. (Our drive is very slightly up hill.) When we need the car most, we are let down. Also, the doors lean back and have a sharp edge. so you have to be very careful not to get your face slashed when opening or closing.

    Just got a month ago a GLA 250e PHEV (didn't get the choice as it is a company car). I do agree with most of your review after 4000km. The Pro: infotainment system is great (I got the new MBUX whith slight upgrade compared to the version you tried), Interior is premium, quite nice to drive electricaly or in hybrid mode, power is there. The Cons: Options are expensive, the car motor is noisy when you accelerate in baterry mode, trunk car and fuel tank are small. So in a nutshell, it is all the more a good car if you use it in hybrid mode and if you have the chance to benefit to get lot of options.
