Is the CLA 45 amg any good?

Hondaracer 11-28-2018 12:14 PM

never driven one, but no.

I've driven a GLA45 AMG, engine is amazing but there are cheaper than liked materials inside

bleh, slate bronze and teal Hondas from 80s/90s

Drivetrain is nothing short of fantastic. The CLA45 is cramped with zero headroom. Strongly opt for the GLA45. Same drivetrain and chassis but much more practical with the hatchback. Also it’s only looks good fully optioned. Full option aero package with big brakes, and full carbon interior with shell bucket seats

I think it's more like a RS (no moonroof) with spoiler + whatever crap they added on

I remember in 2000 a salesperson at Burrard told me that I should trade in my GSR and "upgrade" on this one LOL

Have always wanted an Esprit, I prefer the Giugiaro design but the Thomson refresh (like this one) of the Stevens design would be welcome in my garage. I wonder what's going on with the carpets in the drivers footwell?

Lotus Esprit, style wise, is one of my all-time favourite cars... but my best friend actually owned one of these V8 ones for a couple years and they're an absolute nightmare maintenance and fragility wise. I don't think he misses it much in lieu of his 911 Turbo he has now besides the je ne sais quoi provided by owning a car nobody else has.

I wouldn't even want to imagine what upkeep this one hasn't had done if it's on the repo site.

How does a 17 year old Espirit end up getting repo'd though...?

Must've been a hell of a loan.

Good buy if that is the real car and it is actually a GSR and not just a base integra with GSR wheels. Auto kind of ruins the car tho but w/e

I thought Integra GSR only came with manual trannies?

I was unaware of that fact. Looked it up and it appears they did not make them in auto. I guess it's not a gsr, just a dressed up base.

The other half works intermittently. Brake lights don't work. A/C doesn't work. Too low or wrong wheels, front wheels damaged flares on turns. Flares cut into tires. Tires wrong size. Leaks oil, mtf, and coolant. Water leaks in. Someone spray painted brake discs and calipers with silver paint. Silver over spray every where. Doesn't stay running, some misfires. Battery dead. Alternator on its way out. Serpentine belt worn. Missing bits here and there. Suspension bushings shot in the back. Key is broken. Fob is broken, aftermarket alarm is broken. All 4 tires from 2008 are flat or leaking. No service records, no books, no paperwork. Good luck. You have been warned.

None of that stuff matters if you're just buying it to make a full size race car bed

that series of Esprit looks cheap to me
i can't unsee the Corolla taillights

at least the 300ZX headlamps on the Diablo doesn't make it look cheap because the body is drastically wider and lower...the boxy rear of the lotus is much more similar to the Toyota than it is on the Lambo-Nissan example

trivia of the day. lambo actually sells the car with an oem eyelid trim specifically used to cover the nissan markings
