    The "sport" model in the Uk, is called "Progressive" in the rest of the wrold. ALL the new fwd Merc's are super simple to work out, they all start in "Style" design line, and "Advantage" equipment line (Depending on the country), then you upgrade from style -> Progressive -> Amg-Line for looks and design, and as for equipment, you start from with the Advantage pack, and upgrade from Advantage package -> Premium Package -> Premium + Package :)

    Why you complain about the price? In Turkey, even the GLA 200 AMG version (1.35 lt petrol engine) costs about 45.000 pounds! GLA 250 4Matic will have a price tag about 70.000 pounds! Tax rates in Turkey changes between 80% to 200% (!)

      Well you can get different ones if you want to, there are multiple choices. These are just the absolute standard ones most of these show cars have fitted to them.
      In my personal opinion these are not great, but way better for the mass market than something like the flashy weird Audi ones like on the new RS4 which are hideous for my personal taste. And the options at mercedes are good, especially the clean multi spoke 20" ones which you can also get in black for a more aggressive look.

    Excellent review Matt! Mercedes has definitely stepped up their game on the interior quality of the A class in general, but not to the extent where it encroaches on the E or C class of vehicles.
