    Mercedes-Benz CLA200 2016: Any known issues?

    Front-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz?

    It's definitely a real Benz in all the important areas, from design and safety to quality, and front-wheel drive means better packaging with more interior space and the ability to make the car more affordable. Every car maker is moving to front-wheel drive for efficiency, even BMW which won its reputation as a driver's brand with its rear-drive cars.
