Just purchased one of these...pretty impressed. Solid car, gets every bit of 32mpg on the highway, and in sport mode has some serious pickup. Perfectly sized crossover. Bought it for the extra clearance and ruggedness to replace my ralliart hatchback.
baconsoap78 two things...I really wish mine had the push-button start. Drives me CRAZY!!! And the interface for the stereo is just wacky. It's not touchscreen, it uses one of those dials in the center console...and unless you splurge for the navigation/backup cam/etc (which I didn't), it's overkill as a stereo interface. Everything else is spot on.
baconsoap78 my mom bought one back in may and we got every package with it and we love it! Super fun drive, love everything about it. IF you do go for one, definitly get 4matic and the sports package, it makes the car a lot more fun to drive and feel more sporty as the sports package comes with bucket seats... also the multi media package or which ever package gives you the bigger screen, get that too. Overall great car
+Joshua Lipinski Watching a lot of these and most people miss the point. We want a small car that my missus can drive. The A-class is way too small. Also being hikers etc this thing is perfect. Picking it up at the end of next week. 250 4matic fully loaded :)
+dragonmichal yeah, it does. i had a drive test and i can tell the suspension wasnt that good compared to my GF RX 350, but the dealer said because of the sport package 19 inches wheels. Plus GLA sound isolations is pretty meh if you sit in rear seats
Pretty cool model, although not a fan at all of the tablet screens on their entry-level vehicles. Makes the otherwise nice looking interior feel cheap.
You have to pay nearly $5K extra for the backup camera. My coworker has backup cam in her Kia Optima. I'd be embarrassed to drive this stripped down crap to work.
+TheLifeOnHigh - Look again. If you just want the backup camera, it's available as a standalone option with no other required options or packages for $450.

I'm thinking of buying one as well. Anything you don't like about it?

Thanks for the reply! I'll keep that in mind. Enjoy your new ride!

It's cool seeing you drive around where I live! Is there any fun factor to the 4Matic in these cars?
eliot gustafsson It drops the 0-60 down to around 6.2 seconds compared to the FWD 7.1 seconds, so it launches quick like an entry level sports car.
put this car in sports mode its sound and drives awesome!
Nice video man, thanks
Man is your suspension on your GLA also really hard and uncomfortable or is it just because of my 19inch wheels?
Usually bigger rims

Honest opinion on a gla?
Whats the song at the beginning of the video , please !
Nice car but bi-xenons appear to have pretty short range.
What a nice car. I am going to buy it next year. A german car!!!!!!!!!!
what is the name of song at beginig ??????

In a way I kinda like it. It's something different. Even a Toyota can have a built-in screen. Nothing special.
You should check out the new AUdi A3. Its new interior makes it seem more premium than the GLA or CLA.
+Brian Westfield We said that walking past the new mercs, now we have one its not really bothering us at all to be honest.
wow this ga was wonderful
