Should I replace my Mazda with a Mercedes CLA?
Looking at a 2019 Mercedes CLA 1.3 petrol with low mileage to replace a 2016 Mazda6 Platinum 2.2 diesel (150hp).
Is it a good buy?

Hi Richard,
We're not convinced that's a good move. While we really like how the CLA looks, it's far smaller inside than your Mazda. That 1.3-litre engine is a little gutless as well and will feel it after your 2.2-litre diesel Mazda. The CLA has proven to be mostly reliable, though, other than a few possible gremlins.
Make sure you go and test drive the car before you make any decisions.
