Reliability in question

I love this car. I love the way it handles tight turns and how it hugs the road. I enjoy driving this car. It picks up speed so quickly I never have to worry about merging into a highway, etc. The interior leaves no room for complaint although it’s usually just me in the car aside from the occasional passenger in the passenger and back seat and I’ve never had a problem. I love this car so much (it’s my 4th Mercedes) that I’m considering purchasing the exact same model/color. My concern is the reliability which lead to my reviewing reviews this morning. I recently had an electrical problem (computer is shot and needs to be replaced) which will cost me $2800. Upon thinking about last few years with this vehicle, I have had the radio turn off on me while driving for no reason and I have had the car not start for me more than handful of times on first me even second try. Periodically, my road side assist would stop working and then return to working order on its own. I’m not sure if these issues are unique to my vehicle or if this is a common issue among the gla model. I did read in a previous review that another owner also experienced an electrical problem. I just would expect more from Mercedes. Again, these electrical issues began when the car was not even a year old. Was under warranty and they fixed it but still made me lose confidence in the car.

It's fast in a straight line not to shabby in the corners. Very very small. I really want to get it out on the track I'll update then

I've owned this car for 3 months and put close to 5k miles on it and I love it. If you want a car that is fun to drive, gets great mileage, and has a surprising amount of storage this car is for you.

If you are looking for a vehicle that is zero to low maintenance. Great on gas, easy to maneuver and easy on the eyes. This care for you. I use Beverly Hills and West Convina Service Center for maintenance, both live up to the brand name regarding service.
