I have bought a brand new GLA250 facelift 2024 recently, including the plus package and leather seats - I had a similar car before, the BMW X1 xDrive25i. I must confess I am pretty disappointed with the brand (I have never had a Mercedes before). An extremely annoying thing in the car is the pivoted rear camera, very noisy when opening/closing and it opens and closes all the time - it’s like having a wrecking ball loose in the boot/trunk. I could accept (not happily, I must say) the noise when you engage the reverse, but not when you are not trying to park or when you reduce speed on every terminating road or out of the blue, without any apparent reason - it just doesn't make sense and worse, there’s not a software option to set, keeping the camera always open. Also, the internal air conditioning vents are chromed, very bright in my opinion - I can understand the retro design, but the problem is that the right and left grids reflect on the right and left windows exactly over the side-view mirrors outside, being difficult to see properly. Additionally, there are some LEDs inside the vent which at night make things even worse. I hope Mercedes minimizes those problems in the next few months, tweaking the firmware/software and/or doing a recall to replace the camera and changing the vent grids for darker ones, at least the ones close to the doors, or I will seriously think about selling the car. It’s a A$96,000 (USD 64,000) car, for Christ’s sake!
Nice cars, but when it comes to “utility” you care far better off with a Subaru Crosstrek with Steering Res Headlights come standard even on the base model, 9” ground clearance. I guess I should not compare as they are in difference class. You pay for brand and some toys here. Great Review!
My next car..hopefully 😊
Great review bro and this might be my daily.
Very, very classy and fun 🤩
Hate the new body style. The 2020 was a cross between a Jaguar and a Subaru. Now this bastard looks like a Sportage.😅
Lots of good information here. The delivery is frenetic - slow down just a little.
How do you switch your songs on the wheel? Where can I locate the button?
