Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG

The steroid-enhanced version of Mercedes’ slinky CLA-class sedan comes with a potent 355-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, all-wheel drive, and a sport-tuned chassis. The result: outstanding performance by almost every measure. Unfortunately, some cheap plastics and poor panel fits mar the CLA45’s interior, and the rear seat is extremely tight. Add in a precious price when a few options boxes are checked, and the CLA45 AMG can be a tough sell.
