We have had the car about 9 months and a couple things stand out. First, it takes some getting used to when driving in that it seems bigger than it is. This is due to the high hood line. It also has some challenging blind spots which require an extra level of attention. However once you get used to it, all is fine. The ride is good. Perhaps the transmission is a bit sluggish particularly if you are just lazying around, and the ride a bit hard, but again once you get used to it. I expect German cars to feel the road more than mushy Japanese SUVs. When compared to the Lexus NX, I would say the NX is a luxury ute and the GLA more a sport ute. Interior wise it is small, slightly smaller than my old Audi A3 hatchback. So if you are planning to carry a bunch of stuff/passengers, not the car. What is most interesting however, are the regular looks and comments we get. OK, our car is bright red so it attracts a bit of attention but strangers regularly comment on how nice it looks. Not just the color, but the whole package. I particularly like the looks of rear end. Even 9 months later I still think it is a nice looking car when compared to other SUVs. Would I buy it again: If the Macan got better gas mileage I might answer that differently, but until then, Yes without a doubt.

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.

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.

purchased 2015 white pre owned mercedes gla250 with 8000 miles. loved the look of this car received many compliments and looked forward to driving it every day.it has a considerable amount of road noise and does not have the keyless entry which are annoying. All was well until I hit a pot hole in feb 2017 and another in the same spot one month later which cost me 2 new tires. because of the pot hole accidents and needing a new alignment i was pretty cool about the whole thing. What caused me to be Very Upset was when they went to do the alignment they found a whole bunch of other problems including a right rear rod and right rear tire etc. the cost of these repairs will be about $2500 on the conservative side nothing covered by the warranty. now I thought I had bought a relatively new car as it was certified with only 8000 miles.It seems to me that this much damage to this Mercedes is abnormal Could the car be so flimsy as to incur so much damage from going over a couple of pot holes. I am sad and so disappointed and have lost my confidence in the Mercedes brand. i have driven many other cars and run into pot holes without this much damage. I will probably sell this car and get a more sturdy vehicle. I welcome any feedback from this revies
