I know Mercedes is a high cost vehicle not only to purchase , but also upkeep. It was difficult to find the color (white) in my price range with under 35K miles, but I found it and am elated with this vehicle! I drove fords, Honda’s and VW’s for my life, but now I’m close to retirement and wanted a special vehicle I could keep forever.

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.

Steering Wheel Module

When I first bought this car, I was in love with it! Within the first 2 months of driving it, an error popped up on my dash. The dealership told me that my steering wheel module was not working and that the part was on back order, coming from Europe (30 days). You can imagine my disappointment. If that part is on back order you think to yourself, this must happen a lot! I'm almost second guessing buying a Mercedes.

Eye candy - but rough ride

Pros: sporty style, very comfortable front seats, fantastic engine power/acceleration, easy set cruise control, above average fuel economy. Cons: terrible road noise, very bumpy ride almost to the point that you feel no shock cushioning, poor weather stripping allows excessive amount of rain/moisture/dirt around interior door casing (bring towels to the car wash), awkward door lock handle interferes with elbow room, small window makes reaching ATM and drive thru difficult without hitting your head, very expensive run flat tires, uncomfortable rear seats. This is my first MB and I expected much more of a smooth and quiet ride.

I have had my GLA for two months now and like it more and more each day. It's a little quirky to get used to driving at low speeds. But once you get a feel for it, the experience is very good. It's truly an enjoyable car to drive. Find myself thinking of excuses to go places just for the chance to drive it. Drove my GLA in one of the worst snow storms I have been in and it handled perfectly. This was due to the all wheel drive and great overall feel of the road you get from the steering. My first bens and won't be my last!
