Can I Return It?

Where to start? Waited six months for delivery and was crazy excited when it arrived. Fully loaded with just about every option. After a week I despise the car. Turbo lag when you first accelerate...the $840 Burmester audio system is totally underwhelming...the Augmented Reality Navigation impresses friends but is distracting due to having to repeatedly take your eyes off the road to look at it...the MBUX is complicated. If I could return it I would in a heartbeat.

If you want a SUV that is safe elegant as well as fast from the word go. This is your machine... When getting on the highway an ever so slightly pressing of the gas pedal sends that vehicle over 80 before you actually get off the on ramp. Be careful too much will send that turbocharged 4 cylinder fully loaded over a 100 and it won't feel like you're going that fast until you look down at the speedometer and see the blue lights in your rearview mirror... That 4 cylinder makes her easy on gas 32mpg around town 36/37 on the highway. My own calculations 75 with cruise control. The 2021 is also more roomy than the 2018... It is very comfortable for anyone over six feet tall front and back especially good for long trips... It has every safety feature from four front air bags to blind spot warning both lights and sound.... Your phone play list can be easily accessible... For the guys sorry ladies it has a female voice commands you have to merely ask Mercedes to change radio stations connect blue tooth or make a phone call and she complies in a female voice which immediately gets your attention by asking you how may she help you... Wow...

I’m obsessed with my new car. I love that it’s very sporty, still an SUV, without feeling like a soccer Mom! The interior is awesome as I love what they did with the screens in 2021 models!

The GLA250 AMG35 is quick and FUN!

I loved my 2019 GLA, but wanted more speed. The GLA 35 gives me that. The new body style, interior, and technology are impressive. The AMG grill is fierce, as are the 21 inch wheels. The pick up and handling are smooth, but also exciting. The leather interior is beautiful, the seats are comfortable, and the heated and cooled seats are great! Getting in and out of the seats is easier than the 2019, which helps with a bad knee. I still do love my puddle lights! The large center console has a split opening which is much nicer than the single door. Even the glove box is improved. The new technology (touch screens, display, and ambient lighting) are beautiful, and are not too tall, as I’ve seen in other makes. I am still learning the touch pad and menus, but they seem to make sense. One thing I miss is my sunglasses holder! Overall, I am enjoying this vehicle immensely!

This vehicle will surprise you it handles like a car and if you're standing in front of it looks like a SUV she's really Thrifty on gas on the highway I get between 38 and 41 Mi to the gallon on the street 29 to 33 miles to the gallon the first one is at the speed limit the seats are very comfortable I could drive longer because of the lumbar setup for the front seats not to mention all the safety features when she finds you getting tired she tells you to take a break she's like a good wife need I say more
