Good value for best midsize/crossover
Really smooth handling, great interior and exterior, excellent mpg, eco friendly, panamera sunroof is awsome and modern looking. I would definitely get this car real soon.

Amazing Compact SUV
2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 is an amazing vehicle. Great exterior design and comfortable soothing interior. Great control and stability performance. This vehicle has great power and acceleration with great MPG.

Love my new Mercedes GLA 250!
I still can't believe I own a Mercedes! The comfort and ease of driving it is incomparable. It's gorgeous on the inside and out and makes me feel safe driving it around Denver. I've only had it for 3 days and cannot wait to learn more about it (and of course keep driving it!)

Only car I?ve owned and learned to hate
I hated this car. Why? Throttle response was terrible. Stomp on the gas pedal and the power feels like no power ...a then add a hair more....full power. As a result I had to replace my front tires in less than a year with about 19K miles. Torque steer- stomp on the gas to pass, or in a corner and the torque steer is spooky. The shift control on the column where the windshield wiper should be ....is just wrong. I tolerated, but never got used to that. Under hatch storage space. Too small and the cover gets pushed out of its place often, then hatch doesn?t close. Ergonomics- maybe it was just me, but I could not drive this car for more than 20 minutes without getting a cramp in my butt. I tried to adapt seating, leg position and I could never get comfortable. Disclosure- I drive about 20k miles per year. I enjoy driving and enjoy driving performance cars. ...lastly I was a high performance driving instructor, teaching people on race tracks.

Fun, zippy and impressively practical!
Overall, I love my GLA250... as far as mini-SUV?s go, this one gives a lot of bang for the buck compared to the BMW X1 and the Audi Q3. My only issues with the GLA250 is that the engine sounds loud and tin-like (akin to older Mazda RX7?s) and the interior compartment isn?t very well insulated from the road noise, which makes for a rather loud ride. Another pet peeve is that despite having every possible accessory and add on, the GLA250?s do NOT come equipped with a built in garage door opener... so you?re buying a $40k car but still have to use a tacky 1970?s garage door opener attached to your sun visor... which rattles and only adds to the existing loud interior road noise?! Another peeve is the ridiculously small glove compartment that isn?t even large enough to hold the vehicle ownership manuals that come with the car! Finally, my last peeve is that Mercedes still hasn?t stepped up to the plate regarding computer technology and cell phone/blue tooth integration technology, despite offering its Apple Play option - which doesn?t always function properly because it still relies on a USB power cord instead of a designated Bluetooth program. Still, overall, I love the GLA250?s style and size... it?s a fun, zippy and impressively practical for a small-sized car. It?s perfect for empty-nesters on the go!

Comfy but could be more creative with interior
Love driving this. Business traveler. Not a huge fan of the way the trunk top prevents use of entire space in Back.

very sylish
the 2018 gla 250 is very stylish and a great pleasure to drive. the 2.0 is excellent on gas with a turbo giving good power and quick acceleration while the suspension handles the road real well. but the number one reason we bought our gla, is for our safety

Poor controls system
Having a screen and then a knob on the console to change items is terrible. All items on touch screen is better. Just hate this system. Will probably trade car.
