Used 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Consumer Reviews
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.

Sexy little car
I love the way this car looks, I think it’s really the prettiest car on the road. Mine is midnight blue with white leather interior and it makes me smile every time I see it! I paid way more than the regular MSRP, I probably should have bargained a bit on the price but I was so excited about the car I didn’t bother. It has all the bells and whistles, very fun car and I feel incredibly safe in this thing. I feel like it knows when I want to turn, the handelling is almost intuitive it’s so smooth. It feels like it floats instead of drives and I would say it is way quieter than any car I have ever driven aside from a Prius. It took me a while to get used to the shifter, I kept using this instrument to signal instead of shift. Of course nothing happens when I do that, it’s all safe, just frustrating to get used to a shifter like this. It does have a few dash board rattles occasionally, not great for a car this expensive. But it’s usually only on rough pavement. It’s a lot smaller than it looks on the inside. Coming from driving a true mid sized suv this feels like a sedan. I leased it in case I would feel it’s too small for my daily needs, but really my only complaint is that I may want to get the AMG as I love speed and though this car is faster than any other 4 cycle coming from my previous car that was 264 hp this feels slow. Sport mode definitely helps a lot though and when I’m not feeling thrifty about gas consumption this definitely gives it a big boost!! My butt gets a little numb on long drives so I bought a gel cushion and that is definitely the way to go! Over all I give it 4 stars. For five it would need to be a little bigger (more head room), a little faster, and more padding on the seats. Everything else is pretty great, I’m very happy with 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.
