Major electrical issues - I owned my 2019 GLA 250/ for 3 years and it had major electrical issues the entire time. Once the steering column just stopped working and was electrical. Multiple times the display would just go gray today I'm having the vehicle towed because the electrical system wont turn off with the engine. I leased this car and im incredibly disapointed. I would be mad as hell if i had bought it.

GLA 250 4Matic

I've owned this car for a little less than 1,000 miles. In that time, I've grown to really like the vehicle. There are many really good aspects to this car... the standard blind spot monitoring, forward collision prevention and power lift gate. The panoramic roof, sporty acceleration, upgraded sound system, key-less entry and key-less go really make it a fun car to drive and own. The big down side for me is the fact that the suspension seems to be rough over certain types of uneven pavement. In addition the wind and road noise at higher speeds could have been better tamped down. Those aspects prevent me from loving this car. Overall I'm satisfied with the purchase. Lots of fun to drive and own. It offers great utility with nice ground clearance and a respectable boot. I am averaging about 27.5 mpg overall.

Not as roomy as the RAV4 but a great driving experience . Lots of power on the low end. Haven’t had it long enough for reliability score

She's a pretty car , but lacks pep. The brakes felt questionable (hit the brake at a red light and slid into the empty crosswalk-not safe!) Unfortunately my sales person seemed to lack experience , charm and knowledge about the car

I have had small 2door VW's for most of my adult life, but always wanted more luxury. The stars aligned, and I was able to make the move to Mercedes. I love the tech, the looks, and comfort. Mileage is not as good as I'd hoped, but I'm still under 1000 miles. Horsepower was important to me, and 208 works, even going uphill. I love driving my GLA! I thoroughly enjoyed my 19 months with my GLA. The dealer was always helpful when I had questions. I just need a step up to AMG.
