Seems like the M3 would be a more natural competitor since its $60K and has 4 doors. Of course from what I've read the back seat in the Merc is about as useful or even less so than the M235.

You should work for Motor Trend then because that's a lot more ridiculous of a comparison than the M235 vs CLA45. M3 base price is like 14K more in the US. |
I don't understand this M235i vs CLA 'AMG' comparison. One car is developed by its flagship Motorsport engineering group and the other isn't. IMO it's a narrow minded comparison based on the fact they produce similar power. #rantover
Oh and I've driven the 2series 2.0sport, 2.0i+2.0dM sport and M235i (manual) on track and the transitions are amazing. The M235i is well worth the price IMO. Like Randy said the power deliver is lag free! Brakes on the manual felt great to me! Basically don't base your decisions on videos. GO AND TEST DRIVE THE BEAUTY!
