Looks are unique- definitely a head turner. Expected it to be much more expensive! Love this car. I've owned several Volvo's, a BMW, a Porsche, domestics, & other MB's. This has been the best value, by far!!

Fun crossover/hatchback but not an SUV.

I've had it for a few days, very good car, fun and easy to drive. I would not consider this an SUV since its sedan height. I am short and if you move the seat up you have very limited headroom. Also, wish the keyfob had a hatch close button on it and not just open. You can only close from hatch or in car. Other than that so far so good. Back seat roomy. Front seats comfortable. Small side mirrors wish they were alittle bigger. Very fun to drive. Good on gas.
Wheel Spin, Torque Steer, and Bluetooth Disconnect

I got this car from SIXT rental car in San Francisco and spent the week with it. I really wanted to like this car but every time you accelerate (even lightly) the wheels want to spin or you get torque steer around a turn. The engine is peppy but not so much that it should be spinning one of the front wheels. This car only had 5K miles on it so it was pretty new. The interior was nice, although the seats were pretty firm for a small SUV. The ride was firm but this doesn't other me because I like sporty cars. The other annoying thing about the car is that my bluetooth kept disconnecting randomly while on phone calls. I have an iPhone 6S Plus so there is no reason for this (and it does not happen in other cars). I think I would have given this car 4 stars if I had the all wheel drive version. I would not recommend the front wheel drive version.

GLA250 4Matic - Great Little Crossover

I've had the car for 18 months, and overall have been happy with it. It get's great mileage, and the drive quality is quite good. Slightly more road and wind noise when compared to other MB models. Interior quality is excellent, instrument layout is very good, except the navigation screen seems somewhat out of place. Ample cargo space, especially with rear seats folded. Since this is a new model, MB has some perfecting to do. What I find surprising is that since its introduction to the North American market, this particular model hasn't really taken off, I rarely see any in California. My sense is that MB may discontinue this model, similar to the discontinued GLK model. New GLC & GLE models are hitting the MB dealerships and have certainly peaked interests of new buyers. In the mean time, I continue to enjoy my GLA250 4Matic and its reliability, as well as the many compliments I have received from onlookers.
