I just drove 12 hours round trip to pick up a new 2014 MR. I was on a waiting list with a deposit for a CLA45 AMG, however that wait was just extended to at least June of next year... Needless to say, I got my deposit back and drove to King Mitsubishi in Gaithersburg, MD. I think I have every option except, thankfully. Chrome mirror covers. Names Jeff.

 

Good deal.. from west virginier

Welcome sir

 

Thank ya!

 

welcome to the EVO world...

 

You made the right choice. The evo x mr has way more potential than the cla45 amg, handles better and almost half the price. Evo x mr can be made to be a gtr and porsche turbo killer for under 10 grand. I doubt the cla45 will ever have that potential.

 

Congrats fellow WV'er.

 

welcome to the family. you'll love the evo.

 

Thanks! About where in WV do you hail from?

 

^^ Wheeling. Yourself?

 

Nice!

 

Teays Valley. Just West of Charleston.

 

Also, I want to point out that I just sold a 2009 FBO 135i. Now, that IS an entry model car for BMW, but I have to say this about the EVO.. The interior fit finish and matirials are just as nice or nicer than what I had in my 1'er. I do have absolutely every option, so that helps.

Nice! I also went from a BMW (e46 M3) to an Evo MR (all the options like yours). I have owned it for 2 years now and don't really miss the M3 much at all. The Evo is a great car.

 

526 miles on the car and I just installed my first Mod.. 20mm wheel spacers arrive tomorrow!

 

Half the price of a CLA45 AMG? The CLA45 AMG is approximately $47-48k.

I would have at least test drove the CLA45 AMG before buying the Evo. The CLA is a classy, luxury, sports car. The evo is just a sports car.
