The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG may have the most powerful production four-cylinder turbo engine in the world, but it is a car that can be used as a daily driver.

After six months of driving it, the folks from Auto Express decided to share their impressions about the high-performance sedan.

With 355 hp, the CLA 45 AMG didn’t disappoint them in terms of speed, but it did in terms of pricing. Added up, all the optional extras fitted to the car bring the CLA 45 AMG to a similar price as the Porsche Cayman.

Obviously, the CLA 45 AMG isn’t as engaging to drive as the Cayman – and nowhere near as desirable, I would add. Another problem it has is the ride. Owen Mildenhall found it too firm to get used to, with passengers also describing it as uncomfortable. In the end, it’s all about how much the buyer is willing to compromise, as you can find out by watching the following video.
