MB Summer event - great lease deals

I'm 3 days into having this car and I LOVE it! I purchased an Acura RL brand new in 2004 and this car has all the bells and whistles (if not more) than that car did at 50K. Sticker price was around $47K for the GLA250 4matic but I can only surmise that I got the most unbelievable deal of the century on mine as it was Kryptonite Green and most conservative MB and BMW owners prefer boring black/white/grey instead. It's chalk full of stuff I'll probably never need or use but luxurious to the core. My ONLY slight negative would be the fact that storage on interior is sparse. The glove box is pretty small and then there is a small area in the center console armrest. I can fit an umbrella and a few papers into the glove box and that's about it. I'm sure they needed the room for on board computers and such so that's the only thing I noticed that I thought could use improvement. Otherwise MB hit it out of the park.

Had been looking for particular MBZ and picked the GLA-250. I could not be more pleased; happy with this car. It's everything I wanted and expected from MBZ. No changes from last review, great car and reliable! No changes in my review, great car!

Mercedes offers several maintenance programs; a 6 year extended warranty, full scheduled maintenance for 5 years at a greatly reduced price, (if you sit down and calculate the actual cost of individual items and required fluid replacements and such it really adds up; this not only schedules everything to keep the vehicle in top shape but saves money over the long run), and my favorite the "ding & bump repair" program, (for only a few hundred dollars Mercedes Benz will repair all the unsightly little dings and bumps that happen in parking lots and elsewhere each time you bring your car in for service, how cool). We purchased our 2016 GLA250 4dr SUV from Park Place of Plano in North Texas. They were terrific. In fact we probably will purchase from them again shortly. I cannot say enough good things about our salesman, the managers, everyone involved.

Good quality for a small cross over. Has a rattle in the left side of dash and TPMS problem. That should not happen in a new vehicle.

Great gas mileage 29 t0 30 street 37 to 39 mpg highway. 84 000 miles first set of tires. Lots of safety features. Very comfortable to drive long distance ( Jacksonville FL to Las Vegas 3 tanks of gas )... So many more good things drive one you will see excellent turning radius.
