Like no car I have ever owned

Driving a Mercedes Benz is like no other car I have driven. Everything about it says you have arrived, and you own the best. It makes me feel good

Most Un reliable, inconvenient car I have ever had

This A250 Hatch Ive owned for not even a year yet, has spent most of its life in the dealership to be updated/parts replaced/ or to have my safety concerns reviewed. It has lots of functionality and mechanical concerns that I don't trust to leave the city limits with. There is to many concerns to list, but Im currently running a rate of 1 month till something goes wonky in this model, most of them new issues vs repeats.

Thoroughly enjoy

First time I have leased a Mercedes. Only need a small car and the A220 is perfect. Runs quiet, lots of pep even in ECO mode, still finding bells and whistles. Had a Lexus - but this is so much better.

Best Entry Level Luxury Car on the Market

I purchased my A 220 about a week ago and I am blown away by the amount of features, luxurious interior and sporty drive performance in such an affordable car! It feels like a mini S Class. There is nothing I would change and I see myself owning this car for many years to come without getting bored.

I absolutely LOVE my new ride ;)

This car is sporty, yet sophisticated. Digi-dash meets all of my millennial needs, and luxury features speak to my more adult needs (comfort, ease of use and style). Wouldn’t ask for a thing more. (I gave 5-stars for reliability as a positive omen for many, many miles and years of inexpensive maintenance and reliability in the very distant future — as I only purchased this car 2 days ago) ;)

Great from outside hollow inside

I bought this A220 after reading the reviews and thought that this car would run good for at least 5 years. All my expectations crashed only after a week. Since then it has been a nightmare driving this vehicle and it's only been 4 months and car had the luxury to be serviced 6 times. I don't know where to start as this vehicle has soooo many problems. 1) First problem with the brake assist as it applied full stopping brake for absolutely no reason. It could have been fatal. 2) Next AC leak problem 3 times and they could not figure out how it's happening. 3) Third and the most dangerous problem with the car, it goes into limping mode in the middle of the road and it won't drive at all. This has also happened 3 times and the service center does not have any clue why this is happening. 4) Next passenger air bag sign on the dashboard. They just reset the sign and gave it back. 5) Next auto stop does not work half of the time. This one too they did some software fix but still not fixed completely. 6) MBUX does not understand what you speak. Have to repeat things many times. This is highly unreliable vehicle and the most risky to drive. Mercedes does not have any kind of quality testing for their vehicle before they send it for selling. I have bought the same car which they have as the main display on their website, and that has these many problems. I would not recommend anyone to buy Mercedes, the first car maker now does not know how to make cars. HIGHLY UNRELIABLE, NO VALUE FOR MONEY, CHEAP INTERIORS, CHEAP BUILD QUALITY, POOR PERFORMANCE. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!!! Note: LUXURIOUS MENTAL TORTURE IS FREE WITH MERCEDES.

The best luxury we've owned

Mercedes is an excellent luxury vehicle. The vehicle is worth the price and then some. I would definitely recommend the dealer and the vehicle to people.

Great little SUV!

I traded a Mercedes E350 for this sporty and fun SUV. Don't miss the sedan as much as I thought I would. The GLA250 has a lot of zip to it so I don't feel I gave up much power going from a 350 to a 250. It's smaller than the ML I used to own before the E class so it's nice to be back in a vehicle that has the best of both - part SUV and sedan luxury.
