Cars With The Worst Safety Ratings

Lowest-Rated Compact Luxury Car: Mercedes-Benz CLA 250

You would expect for the price of most Mercedes-Benz that this car would be solid and reliable. Perhaps even a leader in its class for safety and durability.

You would however be wrong. If you buy a Merc CLA 250, you’re probably looking for the type of performance one sees in a Benz, but you won’t get it from this one.

Both the engine and the transmission lack any real power. The CLA 250 now has a reputation for being awkward to drive too. Climbing in and out of this car would be easier with some kind of lubricant, and once you’re inside, don’t get too excited, there’s more room in the trunk.

Safety ratings are far below those expected from a Mercedes-Benz, and actually way below the industry’s average of a compact luxury vehicle. Plus, you don’t get much on the standard model without paying out a fortune for extra features.

You should probably give this one a miss.
