Our GLA 250 was worth the $$$

After purchasing our GLA 250, 5 yrs ago, 1; our long distance travel includes -to date- 5 times (LA/PHX) - in addition to several "local" trips(Midwest w/o a single problem! 2; We have yet to switch from "E" to "S" - since 'she' already acts as an "Italian" sports car on "E"! "Drawback" 1: Our initial concern was the more expensive hi-grade gas (91/93). However, we do get 31 mpg on combined city/hi-way driving. 2: A trifle too tight for luggage at long distance trvl and/or transporting i.e. skis.

Fuel Flap

Fuel Flap gets stuck. Scary experience. Had to pry flap open in order to get gas. Now I have to get a new flap because it will not stay closed. 😢

Running very well for over 5 months now

This car met my needs in gas, comfort and durability. I haven't had any problem with the car so far, ever since I purchased it.

Peppy, Fast Car with Beautiful Styling

I love the styling on this car. It's beautiful on the outside and inside. It's also fast, with a 204 horse power turbo engine. So it's fun to drive.

The best car l have driven to date

the car is a perfect example of a machine l was looking for. I am not a fan of big cars that's why l chose this one. there is enough leg room and I love the way it takes off. I enjoy the easy Bluetooth connection and also the 2 USB ports available.

Chrysler 300 is a better riding car

Not much. Would never purchase this vehicle again. Not enough leg room and interior is too close. This car is not a smooth riding car. Horrible car for the price.

Most comfortable car that I've driven

It has plenty of legroom in the front and back, the ride is incredible. It is loaded with features: Bluetooth, navigation system to be installed, Apple carplay, and Android capable.

Excellent mini SUV with class and styling

This car is a pleasure to have. It’s classy yet sporty with surprisingly spacious interior. Would love to have more torch and power but for its 2.0 engine, I’m happy.
