I bought this GLA 250 4 Matic on September14th 2015 . It was my dream to own a mercedez , but unfortunately the next day after delivery of this vehicle I found noice in the front axil while I turn the vehicle to left or right side.I took the vehicle back to the seller and they found that the front axil is defective. They ordered for replacement , But I don't know how long will it take to get them here.My question is how could the one of top rated mercedez cold deliver such defective vehicles out of factory! I am really disappointed. So my advise to new buyers of this vehicle is that , please double check the axil before you take the delivery of this vehicle otherwise you may not notice the problem until the the warranty is over. I didn't even drive 200 km after purchase. I live in British virgin Islands, Carribbean. Update: After 3 months they replaced the CV joint, but still giving the same problem, took back the car to the service , they ordered anot her set, 4 months now, still no word from the company, waiting patiently for the part to arrive. Very much disappointed.

I have had the car for 9 months on a lease. The car has been in the shop a whopping 4 times for the same problem - the keyless go. I have had issues with the car trunk opening without unlocking the car, the blue tooth sounds a little grainy I'm told, the door unlock from the handle works intermittently and then just recently had a bizarre message about security on my radio and that I had to call customer service to get it unlocked! I was also told not to put my key in the console as that messes with the electronics. Are you kidding me?!

I just finished the 1000 mile break-in period by doing a road trip and business meeting. So, I have limited mileage. However, I have found the car to be everything I wanted. I wanted a multitask vehicle to carry kayaks and ski's, do track time, carry the groceries and function in snowy mountains and hot summers where I live. This is a tall order and usually you would have at least two different vehicles. So let me list the best things first. 1. Style. I get lots of comments by people from car washes to parking lots who've never seen "one of these". I have the spoiler on my car which helps differentiate it and yells "performance car" as opposed to the normal hatch/SUV GLA. 2. Interior. It is sport and luxury. I have the red cut leather which covers the dash and gives you a lot of red highlights inside, even on the air vents. Everyone loves it. 3. Comfort. the sport seats are comfortable and I have taken five people in the car to dinner and back seats are fantastic, especially for this size car. I did about 1400 miles on the road trip, as much as ten hours in one day with no problem. Absolutely amazing seats. I expect they will be fine when I track the car, too. 4. Space. It's not a huge SUV but plenty of space in the back and passenger space. You have a pass through and a roof rack if you need to carry large stuff from Home Depot or kayaks, in my case. 5. Ride. The most amazing balanced ride. It is sporty but absorbs the small bumps well. I got the 19in tires. I have the optional damper system, as well and only used it once, but it is amazing. Will use it on track. 6. All things engine. Acceleration, sport settings and the main reason you get an AMG. I have not done the launch mode, yet. Sport setting is the way to go. Negatives: 1. Electronic system is complicated. I got my phone synched but still not for music, voicemail and even phone nav. Screwing around with buttons while driving is annoying. On the other hand, most the basic stuff like volume and drive systems are separate buttons. 2. Not really set up with phone holders or much for electronics like in the rear. Your phone will be in cup holder or ash tray. 3. Side mirrors do not flare out easily for the 180 degree field of view. Most sport drivers do this. You can get it at the very limit of the side mirrors but it buries the mirror in the housing and sort of tricks your eye to thinking there may be a car in the blind spot unless you look carefully. That is about it for now. I rated reliability as just good because no new car issues but I have not had it long enough to really make an accurate rating on that.

The Eco drive takes a little getting used to. I wish it had an option to turn it off completely. It resumes every time the vehicle is started. A little frustrating when in stop and go city traffic. Other than that, I love this vehicle. The areas that I find a little fault with are very much compensated by the quality of the vehicle overall. I would purchase this car over and over again. I looked at and drove many different vehicles before making this purchase. I have zero regrets!!

250 4 matic sport package. Pros: great looking car, fun to drive, good mpg's, stylish interior, 4 year warranty w/ roadside assistance included, safety features, coldest air conditioning I have ever felt and lastly with awd option it goes through any weather condition in style ; ) Cons: price with all the options, back seat leg room for taller passengers and suspension is a little stiff on bumpy roads. Overall I'm very pleased with my GLA.
