For the first time ever, Mercedes-Benz has introduced a 4-cylinder, front-wheel drive sedan starting at around $30,000.

I got a chance to get behind the wheel with my counterpart, Peter Valdes-Dapena on a recent trip to Washington, D.C., and try both the entry level CLA 250 and the faster, more powerful (and in my opinion more fun) CLA 45 AMG.
