@UncJ how did your test drives go? 😊
Just got back! Test drove the Mercedes CLA 200 coupe this morning. Discounted the GLA as boot too small (short) to put my scooter in unfolded, looked at the CLA Shooting Brake but it didn’t offer anything to me extra over the coupe as the boot size is roughly the same.
Had a smile on my face as soon as I got in the car, seat perfect for me, easier to get in/out of than an XC40 for me. Far more exciting a drive than the XC40, I’ve had Volvo’s for years and love them but …they are a bit of a boring drive. Suspension was surprisingly supple I found and really handled bad surfaces extremely well. 1.3 engine absolutely fine and more than enough go for me.
Got back to dealer with a broad grin, called my Volvo dealer and cancelled and signed for the CLA on the line there and then. Car in the exact colour I wanted here in the UK at Purfleet and now reserved in my name – car was built in April and I was shown everything as proof on the Mercedes system to prove it all, take note Volvo!!! 😛
Told between 7-14 days wait and no more. I really don’t want to spend the extra money on the AP but the car was just right so had no doubts whatsoever. To all those still waiting for their Volvo to come through I hope they come ASAP for you as it’s been a rough ride for so many of us. 🙏
