Well, this didn't take long. First carbaged/riced CLA I've seen.
It evidently still had the stock exhaust on it, but I had no idea how terrible that four banger sounds when cold. There's a LOT of valvetrain and/or injector rattle and it sounds worse than an 80s VW Rabbit diesel. I could literally hear it more than 100 feet away. Hopefully (for Mercedes' sake) this one is an outlier, otherwise we have at least one answer why few are buying them.
And some general donking carbage.
