Owned for 55 days and 3200 miles. Easily gets 31mpg on the highway, and pretty good (28+) around town. Car is very tight and very quick. The various driving modes actually do make a noticeable difference. Cross shopped Cayman and Macan; am extremely glad with my choice so far. The rumble sound and feeling is reminiscent of the Cayman. Insurance was less than it's predecessor, a 2017 Jaguar XF. So far no wear/tear issues. A service manager at a MB dealer says that the only "odd" wear issues he's observed are tires, oddly enough. In addition to the car itself, I like that you don't see a lot of them on the road. A previous reviewer complains about how often he has to fill the tank up.......that's because it has a small-ish fuel tank, duh. The interior is NOT it's strong suit. 6'2/245lbs no problem with ingress/egress or headroom. UPDATE. It's now been a year and I'm at 60k plus miles. At about 50k miles put new tires on; they may have had some life left but not much. Tirerack is the place to get tires. A couple of oil changes, replaced brake fluid preemtpively, and might have the differential fluid done at the next oil change. Still on the same brakes. Still 100% satisfied. Average 30.5 mpg overall, and have seen as high as 36. Car is stupid fast when I can get enough road to push it. Warm winter, so no snow/ice to speak of. Love that they are not super common on the road.

The only thing I that for me diminish the inside comfort is that driver's door frame is to low and affects the comfort of driver when looking for visibility

Love the Car Play, the lighting package, the panoramic roof, the interior appointments, the great cruise control (better controls than any other make), the blind spot warning, comfortable seats (heated in front), etc. It is a good car, feels luxurious. The AWD is a great thing to have too.
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.
