So... I don't log in and post very often but I do follow the boards everyday...especially this thread. Wanted to chime in here because I almost pulled the trigger on one of these...and may still.

That's because you'd have to be nuts to buy one, and most people aren't nuts.

 

The CLA is a complete turd of a car. Adding AMG lipstick doesn't change that.

Can you elaborate on this? Either through experience or otherwise....

After reading a couple reviews it seems there isn't enough AMG in them, or enough room to warrant a back seat even though its there. It's AWD not RWD like most other AMG sedans, it doesn't have the AMG V8 even though the long slung hood makes it seem as though it should.

.....because, like this, it just sounds like some personal preferences. Do either of you, or anyone, have any personal experience that speaks to the reliability or to any "issues" associated with these that goes beyond "That's not a real AMG"?

Not trying to start an epic argument here...even though that seems to be the direction that this thread is going lately. I am genuinely interested in these and would love to hear what other LGT owners...WITH ACTUAL EXPERIENCE...have to say about these.

Nokian still makes the WRG3 which is more of an all season snow tire, they likely make size that fits the Legacy. I had a set on my ex's car. They are probably the best all season for snow performance. As with all season they have their trade off's. They weren't the best wearing tire and they probably don't have the best summer performance. (IIRC my Nokians WRG3 were on pace to wear out around 35k miles, I put about 20k miles on them before selling the car.)

I am currently running a set of WR G3's on my factory LGT wheels (225/45/18) which will be going back on the car here pretty soon. Purchased 10/2015 with the intent of running them for winter and then replacing with a set of summer wheels/tires in 2016........had some issues and ended up running them all summer AND winter 2016........and then finally replaced with summer wheels/tires earlier this year and ended up racking up roughly 20,000 mi. on them.

That being said...these things look like I could get AT LEAST another 20,000 mi. out of them, if not more. Wear is nice and even, too! Agreed, they don't perform like my G-Force Comp 2's in the summer...but they are every bit as good in the rain.

All told...I will always second a vote for Nokians. Now, as far as price...that's another discussion...

Yes, very good! DRAG DR-31. 18x9 38 offset. Tires are BF Goodrich Comp-2 A/S 245/40/18.

Any fitment issues? Mind sharing your suspension setup?
