I test drove a CLA45S and the engine and trans were very impressive. I'm a manual guy but it's time for me to try a dual clutch and the versatility off the power and efficiency offered by the i4 emira will be a good mix for me coming from v8s that get horrible gas mileage.
2.0T engines are good for being efficient when cruising but also draining when excelerating. My Alfa Giulia which has an upgraded turbo and everything else with 400awd+HP gets 38mpg on the highway. It's funny but i find myself enjoying cruising more than I would in my Shelby.
Only thing that I think would be a hurtle is the temp sensor over the turbo that lotus added. There have been stock cars that I believe went into limp mode due to the turbo temp being too high. If a piggy back doesn't address this the fun would be over real quick.
Sounds awesome. Just like my 2.0T Alfa. Do you know what downpipe they have? Do you have any more pics or videos of this car? It's that silver and is it covered with matte ppf? Looks really good. I haven't seen a silver one in person.
I thought about getting a 4C but was set on getting an Elise/exige. Still haven't got one of those but it will happen eventually. I have a Guilia ti sport Q4 and a Stelvio ti sport Q4. And yes it's that bad. I hate the electronic glitches and quirks. I swore I'd never buy a new car again but I'm...
