Audi A5 Coupe vs Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Comparison

After spending a year with the Audi A5 Coupe the only thing that I can say is that I’m sold over this car. The overall performance of this vehicle is outstanding. It comes with different driving modes so you can select exactly the you want the steering to be. The back seats are not very usable and can be only used by small people or kids. The electronics are not that good making it difficult to operate the car in a hassle-free way. The best features of this car are the heads-up display and virtual dashboard. The drive window displays all the important information I need and can moved down or up till it is at the right eye level.

It has been a rollercoaster experience to own the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. The double-clutch transmission has been the biggest disappointment for me. I have driven various cars in the last twenty years, including cost-effective ones but I have never encountered the transmission to be so bad. Every shift in this vehicle feels painfully noticeable whether downshifting or upshifting. In traffic jams, driving the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class becomes unbearable. The rough shifts of the transmission give me the feeling that I amm driving with an inexperienced driver who is learning for the first time to operate a manual gearbox.
