I just got the car after procrastinating for a couple weeks. I had been looking at the X1, V60 and the GLA. the X1 felt cheap and the V60 wasn't equipped the way I wanted. I searched other CUV class vehicles and came up with the GLA. Took a drive and was hooked. I let it sit for three weeks the. Felt terrified someone else would buy it Overall, it's great. Good power fun equipment and great gas mileage I'll report more later but ow I'm in love.

My wife and I love the GLA. We narrowed our search between the GLA, BMW X1 and the Audi Q3. In my opinion all three cars rode very well, and we almost purchased the X1, until we saw the GLA. The GLA's interior and exterior far exceeded the out of date X1. The GLA is fun to drive, has plenty of power, mpg is good, it sits high and is very comfortable and is reportedly very safe.

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.

Electronics are ridiculous!

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?!

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!!
