Go with the Lexus, they are very reliable and cheeper to maintain and fix than a Mercedes. Mercedes are indeed a lot of fun to drive and the safety features are incredible. TCS (traction control system), ESP (electronic stability program), and BAS (breaking assist system), along with a few other technologies, is standard on all Mercedes. These technologies will definitely help in snowy conditions. However, keep in mind the CLA class is a completely new class that was introduced a couple months ago. This means there can be some minor engineering defects that they will later perfect in the upcoming years. This problem is typical with any new series of cars. I would say get a C-class if you want the Mercedes, they've been perfecting them since the mid-90s.
