Buying a Mercedes-Benz CLA - 220d or 200d?
I am considering buying a Mercedes-Benz CLA, is the 220d worth the extra over the 200d. I do circa 20,000 miles per year and the base spec seems enough for my needs, but do you recommend any extras?

200, 220 and 250CDI are all the same engine with the wick progressively turned up. The 200 is the most reliable. Satnav will be useful.

Better quality ride than A-Class. Decent sized boot given its size. Well finished interior. Estate version from 2015.
