Great value if you want more than a coupe

The Mercedes GLA250 is the 3rd Mercedes I've owned in the last 10 years and so far so good. I was looking for something a bit bigger than the '15 C-250 Coupe I had owned previously. This is my first SUV. I test drove the GLC and liked it, but it was too big for me. Since I am single, the GLA is more what I was looking for. While test driving the GLC, I had the thought, "I'm not a soccer mom", and went back to the lot and shopped some more.
The transmission on the GLA is probably the smoothest of any vehicle I've ever owned. It goes through the 7 gears with ease. The 4 cylinder provides plenty of power in most situations. The mileage is on par with my coupe but the tank is smaller so I have to fill up more often.
Front leg room is adequate and the leather seats are quite comfortable. The interior look is a bit disappointing, but still has the Mercedes feel.
Some of the features I enjoy is the door unlocks by touching the handle as long as you have the key in your pocket (that was a shock to discover that!) Automatic rear hatch, fog lamps, heated seats are among some of the other features I enjoy. Rain sensing wipers and rear wiper too.
I've only drove it about 1000 miles, but so far so good.

It has great front legroom. My only negative I’d rear legroom, but I rarely use the back seat so not a problem for me. Great value for a MB.

I’ve always driven bigger SUV’s. This new little GLA is small and sporty, easy to park and maneuver. I’ve had to adjust being in a smaller car on the fwy, other than that, it zips around quite well.

Mercedes Benz vehicles' safety, performance, reliability, and accompanying service make owning a Mercedes Benz a sound investment. This purchase is my sixth Mercedes Benz vehicle. I highly recommend Mercedes Benz of Boerne to all of my friends and associates.

First time ever owning a Mercedes Benz. I've always had my eye on the GLA 250 and absolutely love the drive and sportiness of the car. Happy driver so far!

Mercedes Benz GLA 250 is an awesome car!

This car is incredibly and heavenly creature comfort. Beautifully finished interior, super fast, great handling, smaller and more predictable at the limit-read better handling. This model is one of the most "normal" driving experiences I have ever encountered in a car with level of performance. Rides smoothly even over rough pavement. Good gas mileage and great performance - I have it all in one car!
