2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class consumer reviews

Got my 2015 gla in 2016. Drove it from NJ to DC every week even in the middle of a blizzard.. I feel like it has a more agile power steering. It can fit it anywhere. The ride is smooth and quiet. It’s now 2025, what do you think? I got the mountain grey color. It still shines like new!

First and foremost this was truly based off by the attraction of how the GLA stole my heart. The car is gorgeous on its own, but honestly I think I bought a lemon! I bought this vehicle on the 23rd of January by mistake. I started experiencing my car would cut off completely in traffic and would sometimes jerk whenever I pressed the gas pedal. There’s a leakage somewhere in the coolant reservoir. The panoramic sunroof malfunctioned the same day I brought my car home. There's just a boatload of issues regarding this car that I regret. I’m truly not happy with this purchase. I must say, the torque on this one you definitely feel it and it’s quick for a 4-cylinder. Quicker than my 2014 Volkswagen CC I used to own. That’s about it I can say honestly about the GLA. Beware of buying a used GLA!!!! Make sure you check it out by a mechanic before actually going through with the new step of purchasing this vehicle! Don’t buy this car if you’re well over 6ft tall cause I tell you, you will feel cramped. Lastly, make sure you have the money to maintain this high maintenance car.

I’ve had my GLA for about 6,000 miles and so far it hasn’t had a single problem. I drove it back from Houston to Michigan and got 34 mpg best, since I’ve got it I’ve gotten 28 mpg combined average. Very comfortable, fun to drive and -fast for a 4 cylinder! The only thing I think it lacks is cargo room. Plenty good for 85% of the time but there are times I need to haul a more. Premium gas is expensive but it seems to run just fine on mid grade too in a pinch. I love this car but Im thinking of getting a mini van as a second car for occasional hauling needs.

I have owned my 2015 for just under two years, this car is a maintenance nightmare. If you don’t know how to work on them, paying for it is going to be a hefty price. My thermostat blew 3 separate times in 6 months for a total of about $5000. The infotainment system and other luxury options are basic so do look to be impressed there. Using the paddle shifters is laggy and jerky at higher RPMs. Do I regret buying the car? No. Obviously if you’re looking at this car it’s not for extreme reliability, it’s a fun car to drive and zoom around in, good on gas, very fast, and enjoyable experience when your behind the wheel.

This car is very expensive to fix. I have a GLA two502,015 and it has cost me over $10,000 in repairs in the past seven years. I just had to replace the battery for the third time in seven years. Just replaced the starter. And now there’s a thumping sound in the rear bottom of my car. I would never recommend it and would never buy a Mercedes again. Honda here I come.

A few things. I hate the status of car lever on steering column. If your used to it being on the floor, you just will never get use to it. Also the Cruse control is easily hit when using the signal lever.

This car has meant all of my needs. It is very comfortable driving long distance. Also has plenty of trunk space. The car is a very smooth ride.

well. this is my first classy MB. sport. and it's worth the money. love the ride. smooth. and love the car sit heater..wow!! best and better with my ford and honda.

I hated this car from the beginning, returned for transmission adjustments at least 3 times. Glad it's gone, besides the styling all else was a dissapointment.

After driving this car for 50,000 miles, I certainty would not recommend it to anyone. The ride is extremely stiff, handing is terrible, and after driving the car for 1-2 years, engine becomes so loud even if you do all the services on time. Compared to similar cars from brands like Lexus, Audi or even Toyota and Chevrolet, this car feels very heavy and it seems like it takes so much power just to get the car moving. The interior and exterior styling is only positive thing about this car. Performance and comfort is absolutely terrible and overall I would not recommend this car.
