    Nice summary on this entry level, luxury brand SUV. Having the opportunity to test so many rides throughout the year can be fun. Especially when taking the Mrs around the block for a latte.

    With all due respect Chris...entry level or not. Hyundai Kona has cup holders and an arm rest in the back. You probably meant to say Mercedes and all the other German brands are taking an arm and a leg for that option?

    Yeah 48K isn't terrible for that. Its just the 4 cylinder that breaks that deal

    Hey Chris. This is a nice MB hatch. For real room and cargo space, the GLB is the starting point.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  3 года назад

      You're right, canonlybeme4life. The GLB is definitely more functional, but this GLA looks sweet, IMO. 😎 Thats the nice part about luxury, tho. Plenty of choice. Good that hear from you!

    Lol at this vehicle. Get a RAV4 and destroys this pretender in every aspect. It will cost about 30,000 out the door. Listen to that horrible junk Benz engine noise. It will break down in no time. Stay away from lowest end of any brand.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  3 года назад +1

      The RAV4 is a fantastic car, Paul M. But if you have to have a Benz and can only afford their entry-level stuff, this GLA plays the role well. Thanks for watching!
