Smooth ride with lots to offer
Didn't know exactly all that I was getting in purchasing the 2019, but I'm indeed happy with my GLA 250! Aside from the comfortable interior and technology at my fingertips - the ride is smooth and on point! I can easily fit friends in it comfortably for a quick getaway or enjoy my solo ride listening to whatever I like on the radio. It's roomy with enough cargo space to accomodate things. You can't go wrong with the powerful vehicle.

In Love with an Inanimate Object!
Had it a month and it's a pleasure to drive every time I go out. Easy to use infotainment system and dashboard controls, decent gas mileage, SOOOO fast, corners like a dream, and has some wonderful features that I'm still discovering. Only cons are lack of storage space, headroom due to panoramic sunroof, and blind spots galore. If you can't turn your head to look to the side or behind you when reversing, don't even look at this vehicle. My blind spot monitoring and backup camera have come in VERY handy. Handling is closer to that of a sports car than an SUV. Would buy it again without hesitation!

Blind Spots- bad- bad-bad
The blind spots on this vehicle are horrible. I have to turn around completely. Very close sometimes to hitting a car. I do not like the car because of this.

Great little tourer
Love this car. Four 6 footers can fit comfortably even with the panorama roof. If anyone is over 6 foot there might be negotiation on the front seat position... Trunk space is small but useful - make sure it will work for you. Torquey and fuel efficient 4 cylinder pulls so smoothly from any speed. The double clutch transmission is amazing - very fast and smooth shifting. You can pull the paddles at any time to get the gear you need but mostly it does it all itself in any of the driver modes that you choose - from comfort to sport to off road. Lovely powerful progressive brakes. Would be really great fun to drive except that steering is typical electric with zero feel. Solid build is very reassuring indeed. Ride is a bit sharpish around town but excellent at speed.

Loving my GLA!
As an empty nester and obiviously going through mid life crisis - I thought that I would treat myself to a luxury vehicle. I've looked at the Lexus, BMW, Acura, and Benz. After reiviewing online extensively and seeing the GLA while out and about - I knew I had to proceed with the GLA. I view it as a crossover, but it's still considered and SUV. The comfort and luxury are definitely worth it. It drives smooth; but you have the choice on what mode you'd like to drive it in. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than driving while listening to my favorite tunes with the moonroof open. Not many European vehicles have the gas tank on the right, but this one does. It handles well in all seasons. It's a small yet mighty SUV with a powerful punch!

Major electrical issues
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.

First ever Mercedes
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

The Get up and Go, Got Up and Went!
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

Love my GLA!
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.

Chick crossover !
If the vehicle comes with run flat tires, Mercedes does not give you a tire Jack! Guess you better hope you never go off-road. O' available off-road package, really? Who in their right mind is going to take one of these off-road?
