Overall

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class mixes hatchback and small crossover attributes to give you a sporting drive, a well-trimmed cabin and an elevated ride height. But its firm ride and limited practicality should give you pause.

4 Cylinder

0-60 in just 4.2 sec and runs the 1/4 in 12.8 at 109 ... and it is a 4 cylinder!  Handles great, sounds even better with the race exhaust.
I looked at the SQ5 and found the outdated shape not thrilling anymore ... Looked at the Porsche Macan but the price with options and the wait time seemed outrageous and then add the maintenance cost and the fact that it rides like a truck ...
I looked at the new Lexus NX but the lack of power and handling seemed weak at best. Same thing with the Q3.  The GLA 250 seemed to be the better deal ... until I tested the GLA45 ...  the rest is history.

GLA45 one of the fastest CUV ever, if not the fastest!

Lots of the criticism of this car is ride quality.  That's like criticizing a Porsche Boxster because it doesn't ride as smoothly as a VW Jetta.  This car in the GLA-45 incarnation is a small beast.  We got the performance exhaust, which I would highly recommend to anyone who wants the sound of snap crackle and pop when decelerating or starting up.  The sound is just entertaining and roguish.  The car's handling is just about perfect.  The paddle shifters give you the control to make driving the car unbelievably fun.

On one occasion we took it in for a precautionary visit at the dealer and we were introduced to Mercedes service, which in our experience was a cut above that of other premium cars we had owned (Jaguar, BMW, Porsche, Cadillac).

The car's aesthetics are eye-catching and we get lots of comments on the sporty look of the GLA-45.

The interior is well thought-out and comfortable.  The Recaro seats provide a tight yet very adjustable sports seating experience.

We had the Porsche Macan on the short list, but it is SO MUCH MORE expensive (even without the turbo option) and we've never regretted the decision to go GLA.

The only downside we've noticed, and you'll read it in all the reviews is a lag in initial takeoff acceleration.  It's certainly not there in any other gears.  Shifting and acceleration are wonderful in all situations except the one you'll experience from zero to 10 MPH.  It's like a turbo lag... but that's not what it is.  We're hoping that a firmware upgrade in the car's computer will be available in the future, since this is obviously a logic issue.  If you're not drag racing, it won't bother you.  The car reviews wonderfully, because even though all reviewers mention this lag, what happens once the lag has passed is pure driving pleasure.

AMG Rocks This Car

I just finished the 1000 mile break-in period by doing a road trip and business meeting. So, I have limited mileage. However, I have found the car to be everything I wanted. I wanted a multitask vehicle to carry kayaks and ski's, do track time, carry the groceries and function in snowy mountains and hot summers where I live. This is a tall order and usually you would have at least two different vehicles. So let me list the best things first. 1. Style. I get lots of comments by people from car washes to parking lots who've never seen "one of these". I have the spoiler on my car which helps differentiate it and yells "performance car" as opposed to the normal hatch/SUV GLA. 2. Interior. It is sport and luxury. I have the red cut leather which covers the dash and gives you a lot of red highlights inside, even on the air vents. Everyone loves it. 3. Comfort. the sport seats are comfortable and I have taken five people in the car to dinner and back seats are fantastic, especially for this size car. I did about 1400 miles on the road trip, as much as ten hours in one day with no problem. Absolutely amazing seats. I expect they will be fine when I track the car, too. 4. Space. It's not a huge SUV but plenty of space in the back and passenger space. You have a pass through and a roof rack if you need to carry large stuff from Home Depot or kayaks, in my case. 5. Ride. The most amazing balanced ride. It is sporty but absorbs the small bumps well. I got the 19in tires. I have the optional damper system, as well and only used it once, but it is amazing. Will use it on track. 6. All things engine. Acceleration, sport settings and the main reason you get an AMG. I have not done the launch mode, yet. Sport setting is the way to go. Negatives: 1. Electronic system is complicated. I got my phone synched but still not for music, voicemail and even phone nav. Screwing around with buttons while driving is annoying. On the other hand, most the basic stuff like volume and drive systems are separate buttons. 2. Not really set up with phone holders or much for electronics like in the rear. Your phone will be in cup holder or ash tray. 3. Side mirrors do not flare out easily for the 180 degree field of view. Most sport drivers do this. You can get it at the very limit of the side mirrors but it buries the mirror in the housing and sort of tricks your eye to thinking there may be a car in the blind spot unless you look carefully. That is about it for now. I rated reliability as just good because no new car issues but I have not had it long enough to really make an accurate rating on that.

Performance Multi-tasker

Pros:
Best drive quality in it's class, sporty and sit up higher
Great visibility
Very safe- standard safety features are fantastic top rated in its class in Europe by far
Eco, Sport, Manual, and Off-road modes are alot of fun (especially sport and manual, lots of pep)
MPG is very respectable
Can get fully loaded for a reasonable price compared to other Mercedes-Benz vehicles that are fully loaded
Bi-Xenon headlights are fantastic, really sharp daytime running LED strips

Cons:
Lumbar support for front seats is limited to lower and mid back
Back Seats have limited head room
Some of the materials on the interior feel cheaper compared to a c class (which is to be expected)
No option for air conditioned seats
No remote start (may just be my model I bought)

So I was sold on the 2015 c 300, I loved it- the drive quality the refined interior, love at first sight!  However, after driving the GLA250 it stole my heart.  While the c300 had a more refined ride (smoother) and the acceleration was slightly better, the drive of the GLA250 was equally impressive plus it provides much better visibility and you just feel safer sitting up higher in the vehicle.  While the c-class has minor upgrades (automatic headrest, heated windshield washer fluid, a few more soft touch surfaces) the GLA250 felt like a 'younger' car.  Being 29 years old the styling of the GLA250 seemed to fit me better- a bit more modern, sleek, and it still has the same s class styles that are great in the c-class.  It also feels like the GLA250 just has some more space as well.  The mpg is also very impressive and I have had 0 issues with the car thus far.

I also got an unbelievable deal on my 2015 GLA250 4matic certified pre owned and paid $33,000- includes Bi-xenon headlights, navigation/back-up camera, panoramic moonroof, 19" AMG rims and sport AMG styling, climate control etc original MSRP was almost $44K!  I then paid an extra $2750 to take my CPO warranty to the next level:
bumper to bumper up to 50K miles or 5 years, whichever comes first
plus 3 years of unlimited miles bumper to bumper coverage and $0 deductible!

I drive 50K miles per year for work and was told with confidence by MB that as long as the car remains within the warranty period they will always repair the car with no deductible; EVEN IF THE COST OF THE REPAIR EXCEEDS THE VEHICLES VALUE!  So I can finish my loan out with 300K miles and have had $30K+ in repairs (not maintenance, that is obviously not covered) and would pay absolutely nothing and they would honor the agreement.  Apparently, customers who drive this much are considered a 'bump on the chin' they are willing to take considering how few are able to take full advantage of the warranty.  Easily the best warranty in America at the moment.

Very happy and impressed with my 'new' CPO Benz!!!

Best vehicle I've owned, hands down!

It's fast in a straight line not to shabby in the corners. Very very small. I really want to get it out on the track I'll update then

Fast pricey
