Good small SUV for the money

I bought a 2015 4matic about 5 months ago. The car had about 30K miles on it. We had 3 cars and decided to get rid of 2 (a 2007 CLK550 and a Chevy Traverse) and downsize the fleet. The Traverse was my main driver so moving to the GLA has taken A LOT of patience and adaptation. This is the smallest main driver I've ever had. At first I had this unfortunate tendency to compare it to the CLK550. No comparison. On the plus side it's solidly built and has Benz quality typical of their lower end products. The fuel economy is great and coming out of the 550 and Traverse fuel consumption plummeted. On the negative side, the car seriously lacks front seat storage. The glove box is tiny as is the console. I think the interior designers could have done a better job of getting more storage into the cabin. My wife drives a 2014 CLA and the interior design is superior to the 15 GLA. I'm getting used to the size but if anybody sits in the back seat the front seats have to go forward. But I like the look of the car and have rediscovered that you don't so much get into a small car as you instead put it on. Even the CLK was an easier entry/exit.

Very nice car. Attractive look. People told me a number of times " what is nice car". You rarely hear for average car. Back seat is good enough. I have two kids (9 and 4) and checked car seat first. Fits nicely. Cargo is ok. Mileage is outstanding (26.8 after 1 year - 9000 miles, mostly city). Highway - around 32 mpg. My only disappointment was you cannot switch permanently from eco to sport mode etc. Eco is defolt and you need to switch it every time if you would like to do it (finally I was lazy enough to do it and currently drive in eco mode). No complains.

Car seats are tricky in the rear seat. This is a fun car to drive but definately not a family car. It’s fun for my husband and I but when we take our grandchild, it feels cramped.

Generally, this car is just basic. Nothing too exciting. The ECO drive feature is dangerous and unusable in the city. It frequently just revs when the accelerator is depressed in the ECO mode, until suddenly the accelerator kicks in. I have narrowly missed being in several accidents and no longer use ECO ever. In general the car does not have much punch, accelerates slowly. We previously had a BMW 550, I know- apples and oranges, still it's disappointing. Finally, the headrests on the front seats are poorly designed. I am 5'4", an average height for women, and the headrest is too high in its lowest setting. I have developed chronic neck pain from these seats. It is easy to park in the city, especially with the rear cameras. I do wish it had keyless entry for safety reasons. And it's cliche but there really is nowhere to put a purse. The console between the front seats has the dial to control the functions panel and it frequently gets bumped by my purse, arm etc. suddenly changing functions such as radio station etc.

Make sure you know what package you want and what features/upgrades are included. (Mine came with one that had a weird combo of things like leather with no heated/vented seats, no satilite radio, no rain sensing windshield, but other nicely upgraded features...) It's the little conveniences that are missing that irk me, but I love the car and that's what it comes down to.
