Finally--my dream car!

This car has it all--stylish, lots of room, bells and whistles, and it's a Mercedes! Love the glass roof sunroof/skylight! The full screen nav is just amazing and doesn't rely on your phone to get you where you need to go. Highly recommend this car.

Best Overall Car I've Every Had

I was the first person to own a GLA250 in the US. I had the spec model which was pimped out with every single option (even those that never made it to main market). I must say, the fuel efficiency paired with the sporty drive, compact urban size, and open feeling interior makes for the perfect car. It is fun to drive, it is high-tech, it is very safe, it is sporty, and it just gives you a little bit of every type of car you could want. Being a Mercedes Benz, it makes that car even nicer. The quality of everything is top-notch and I would recommend​ this vehicle to anyone looking for a flexible and nimble vehicle. 5 STARS!

Sporty and Fast! Drives Like a Dream!

This car exceeded my expectations in so many ways! It has Apple Car Play which is awesome for navigation, listening to music or podcasts, etc. I love how the AWD handles in snow and in the mountains with the manual option to down shift or up shift and always a smooth ride with no noise. Lots of interior room and great gas mileage. The panorama roof gives you so much light for the front and back seat so not your average sun roof. If you are looking for a car that is fully loaded and easy to drive without being a huge SUV this is the car for you!

Performance, styling, comfort, reliability, value.

Mercedes Benz offers unmatched fit and finish. Precision engineering, performance, comfort and reliability is a given as well-- but the bottom line is value. Retained value relates to initial build quality, regular maintenance, low cost of ownership and mileage. Mercedes Benz is at the top of the list in terms of value.

I feel safe!

When reading all the reviews of this car most comments were how small the backseat was. When I actually sat in it, I was surprised at the room! Driver was 6’2” and I sat behind him with room to spare. I am 5’5”.

Nice car

The car is smooth to drive. Mercedes Benz does a nice job designing nice cars. So I guess I would recommend to Benz lovers anytime.
