I bought the car used with 24,000 but no warranty because it is a 2017. I started have trouble right away. My biggest concern now is the media screen. I noticed that the backup camera was not working one day and then a few days later the screen did not come on at all. No radio, no Bluetooth, no navigation and no camera. Called MB locally but of course they need me to bring it in. I read many, many reviews with the same problem but no one ever posts a solution to this problem. I do not like this car. Will be gettingrid of it as soon as I fix this problem.

2018 GLA 250 4Matic
I actually bought my GLA with 14k on it. I was attracted to it by it's appearance and size (we're empty nesters now). I found that it goes as fast as I want and the acceleration is great, but is a step down from our 328. The interior is nicely set up, easily reachable to most everything and attractive in appearance. One negative if the blind spot when I look for oncoming cars backing out of driveway, the post and passenger seat combine to block out most anything. I have no complaints on driving capabilities at all, handles well, brakes well, and rides comfortably. The most significant think that's really disappointing, my Mercedes sports a Renault engine....I don't even know what to say to that...

Luxury compact car for a good price.
I like it a lot but the front tires wear out really fast for a brand new car because it is front wheel drive. It is luxurious but it is always a practical car as well. It is a little bit pricier but it is worth it because you will enjoy what you get. This is a good compact SUV.

Mercedes gla is the perfect hybrid SUV.
I love my Mercedes gla. It is the perfect hybrid SUV for people who have previously driven smaller cars. It is roomy; but not overwhelmingly large. It rides smoothly and handles rain and snow with ease (all wheel drive). The interior leather is comfortable and stylish.

Love this car for a luxury starter car.
Car is reliable. The car is extremely good on gas. I like the height of the car. Only downfall is that there is no sunroof. Would like it better if the screen of the car was touch screen. It does have apple CarPlay. I would like to have a darker color car but this one was a great deal.

Best city *mini* SUV to drive around.
This is a perfect size for city driving. The features are outstanding which include apple carplay, heated seats, moonroof, different modes for driving. My only one complaint about the car is the passenger side. Not a lot of leg space for comfort, however, it is designed to be a small SUV. Other than that this car is amazing, quiet, and has a big trunk!

Feeling confident and special while driving this car.
I feel very confident while driving my car, it's very secure and stable. I look special and sophisticated. I love my car however the inside is kind of small for the back sitters. It was not comfortable having a baby car seat in the back so for people who have kids maybe think about bigger car.

Gla-250, not a bad ride and not a bad deal under the certified pre owned program.
The only problem I have had is the sunroof failing to fully open. It was covered under warranty and has worked fine since, the performance is good, I was concerned that a 4 cylinder engine might be weak but it has good acceleration and does not dawdle on the highway. Gas mileage is good and the car is very comfortable, more so than the sedan we had previously.

8 out of 10 for the Benz gla 250 with great safety and luxury features.
I have owned it only 6 months and it has been very reliable. It has some great features such as driver assist, back up camera which I love because in parking lots you can see past the huge truck parked next to you, when backing up. Gas mileage is average 25 mpg. Draw back is it uses 91 octane. Very comfortable with lightning near feet and handles inside. Auto start you must be 10 feet away and then from there you can be 1/2 way around the world to start it!

No rattles inside and good power!
Bought it new in 2018, two years and 42000km in it, and it runs better than some of my 17 new cars in the past 30 years..., the quality of paint and real thick clear coat makes it look like new after 3 Canadian, salted, abrasives winters. One check engine, wich i think was caused by dealer overfilling engine oil, (evap syst) One thing i disliked early on were run flat tires wich feels like my tires were filled with ciment..., Replaced them with regular tires and this baby rides like it’s an S class...

Quality
We bought a pre owned 2018 GLA 250 with 14k just a few months ago...Prior to retirement I was in the retail car business, so I've owned many makes. I'm by no measure an expert on the mechanics, but I know a good car. We are extremely satisfied with this car exception for one thing, the visibility block created by the post between the front and back seats. You definitely have to check for oncoming traffic multiple times before backing up into traffic lanes. Other than that, I'm 100% on this car and would get another one in a second. It's the perfect size for people our age, easy to get in and out of, and easy to control...I've had other Mercedes models and this car is just as well built..

Stylish and sporty. It is the perfect size for me.
I love my vehicle. It stylish, comfortable and good on gas. It provides the latest technology such as Bluetooth, navigation, hands free phone access. I love how I can control the accessories in the car without too much movement requiring me to lose focus on driving. I feel I am in a safe car.

Mercedes Benz gla 250 - lemon vehicle.
I have had issues with this model from day one. I have had issues with the battery, key fobs, hood, doors opening while driving, seat belts not working, alarm, rattling noises, a/c not working, etc. The gla I had before this one was so much better, no issues.

Smooth ride, safe vehicle
I have not had any major issues with my current vehicle. I have only taken my vehicle in for schedule/regular service updates. I love the safety features and smooth ride. The only thing I would change on my current vehicle, is the color and perhaps a different model, a bigger model.

Crossover, sporty and fast. It's small but still has an SUV feel.
My car is the basic model and it still comes fully loaded. It has brake assist so whenever your car knows you're too close it will break for you or make a sound when you're going to hit an object. It comes with an hd backup camera, heated seats, panoramic roof also!

Head turning, jaw dropping beautiful!
Very reliable, no problems so far, smooth riding, luxurious, compact but comfortable. Trunk space is deceiving, it appears small but holds a lot. Sporty, large display screen, head turning, mouth dropping elegant vehicle. Classy. If you are thinking about getting this model think no more, get it, you will not regret it.

NO FACTORY INSTALLED SATELLITE
I like the style and handling. After test driving and signing, I was shocked to learn that it does not have factory installed satellite. I have to rely on my cell phone. For me, it’s a giant step backwards. I expected more from Mercedes.

Incredible car, beautiful handling.
Wonderful car. The trim and interior is stunning. Handling for the vehicle is stellar and the engine is just right. The car is spacious on the inside and has a number of cup holders and trinkets to up the value. My sole complaint is I wish leather seating was a trim option (especially for the cost of the vehicle), and that with apple CarPlay I often find it difficult to connect my device. If another device is in the car, mine will get bumped from the primary user position.

Amazing car with great qualities.
It is automatic and great with gas. Supports carplay as well and has built in navigation. I have no problems with it. I only dislike that it is not as big as I need it to be. It could have more trunk space. But altogether a great vehicle. I love the speed and smoothness.

Gla - luxury made to feel so easy!
The gla is extremely advanced, in terms of interactive technology. It is very current with technology that you would expect to have in a Benz (i.e., mobile app connectivity to iPhone or smartphone). It is also extremely comfortable and easy to drive and maneuver. In fact, it feels like a luxury SUV but drives like a luxury vehicle! We are consistent loyalists to the Benz brand over the years and this model is one of our favorites.

My reliable, and smooth driving Benz.
My only problem with the car is that the vinyl in the buttons easily get remove, but other than that I have no issues. It is easy to drive, it is very reliable, it does not consume too much gas. There is no issues while driving on the road, it is a very smooth drive.

Mercedes gla 250 sporty and fun.
Handles wonderfully. Very sporty and good looking vehicle. Good pick up with turbo. Good turning radius. Comfortable. I wish it had heated steering wheel option. The dashboard could be nicer. It is a tad bland for a Mercedes and some of the options are not convenient. If I have my apple carplay on for nav and I want to change radio station I have to leave nav or I have to have radio setting on dashboard. If radio setting on dashboard is in the digital speed limit is gone. So that is something I would change. Also no heads up display. I do like the apple car play.

2018 gla mercedes-benz crossover great performance vehicle.
The fresh filter puts a foul odor in the car when you first turn on the ac the smell only last for a few min. The performance is great for a 4 cylinder. The gas mileage is wonderful. The gla250 is a very reliable SUV crossover. It has several safety features that makes you feel very safe comforting.

Great road trip car! Smooth & comfortable!
I have had absolutely no problems with my Mercedes. I have taken it on several road trips and it rides smooth, and is comfortable for long distances. The only thing that I would change, is adding the ability to have a setting to turn off the eco shut off. When it is hot out it is uncomfortable to have the vehicle shuts off at intersections and having to hit the button every trip is a nuisance.
Tricia H

Smooth ride, love the body style.
Performance and reliability is what you would expect for a car of this quality. My only complaint would be that the performance tires for this car are sensitive to cold weather and pressure drops very easily - I keep an air pump in the trunk.

Apple carplay can be a problem if not connected every time.
It is ok but the windshield seems to stay fogged up longer than it should. The apple carplay is not consistent & there is a glitch that requires that I do not change any settings if my phone is not connected (even the station on the radio!) Or I need to resynchronize the phone.

Can fit much stuff in the trunk, but small enough where I can park it anywhere.
Love my car ! This little car drives amazing in the snow, if it's really bad out I put it in off roaring mode. Super cheap on gas, I probably only have to fill it up once a week and I do a lot of driving for work. Takes about 5 minutes max to cool or heat up the car. Great turning radius!

Smooth ride and convenient add-ons.
The vehicle runs smoothly. Since it is automatic, it is easy to navigate gears and there is an option to switch the lights to automatic as well. You can present your driver's and passenger's seat to 3 different settings on each. This makes it convenient if you share this car with other drivers.

Smoothest ride ever, if I could buy another one I would.
The car drives really smooth, you hardly feel any bumps on the road. I love that you can adjust the head seat and lumbar button. The seat warmer is the best invention ever for winter days. I love the GPS feature on the car because it is easy to follows and it reroutes you. Overall I love this car.

It has a really cool system for handsfree phone use, apple play.
I like this car because it is small and therefore easy to drive and park, and it gets good mileage, it is fast and has good acceleration. It has a nice backup camera and push button start feature. However, I do not like that it does not have remote start for keyless entry, or parking sensors. It is also a bit small for what I usually like to drive. The console in the middle also slides back and forth which is a very inconvenient and unnecessary feature that is actually kind of hazardous.

My vehicle is a great crossover for someone looking for a good in between.
The performance of the car is beautiful. It drives smoothly. It is good on gas. It is a bit too compact for my liking and could be compared to having the space of a sedan. The options in it are convenient and new. Carplay is a great for keeping track of your music, texts, navigation, etc. All while not being too distracted on the road.

The ups and downs of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA
The vehicle has many blind spots. The seats are placed in a strange place where I can't see to my right when backing out of parking spots. I believe this is very dangerous. I do like how it drives through. It is very smooth and reliable. It is small and compact, so the temperature control is great because it gets warm quickly and cool quickly.

The gla is a pretty good choice.
The gla has issues with the USB charger that connects to the apple CarPlay. The back seat could use a little more legroom and the seat belt slots in the backseat need to be redesigned, they are traps for change, lint, etc.. Nevertheless the gla is extremely reliable and the run flat tires are perfect for a single-mothers like myself. The dual climate control easily adjusts to the perfect temperature. It handles wonderfully in all weather.

Gla 250 - average vehicle.
