Drove one for 3 years. Got it in May 2020 when the model was brand new as a 2021. Absolutely loved it. Snappy, fun car. Didn't pick the GLB then and didn't pick it up when I traded it in. GLA has a far cuter, sexier design. It does get a lot of attention. I had the one with the beige interiors which was amazing!
Is the reliability on these good? I am looking for a boxy suv. Considering this, GLB, Wrangler, Ford Bronco, or Toyota mini Land Cruiser. I have so much to think about but I think $50k is what I will be spending
I have bought a brand new GLA250 facelift 2024 recently, including the plus package and leather seats. I had a similar car before, the BMW X1 xDrive25i. I must confess I am pretty disappointed with the brand (I have never had a Mercedes before). The internal air conditioning vents are chromed, very bright in my opinion - I can understand the retro design, but the problem is that the right and left grids reflect on the right and left windows exactly over the side-view mirrors outside, being difficult to see properly. Another extremely annoying thing is the pivoted rear camera, very noisy when opening/closing. Again, I could accept the noise when you engage the reverse, but not when you are not trying to park or when you stop on a terminating road or out of the blue, without an apparent reason - it just doesn't make sense. I hope Mercedes minimizes those problems in the next few months, tweaking the firmware/software and/or doing a recall to replace the camera and changing the vent grids for darker ones, at least the ones close to the doors, or I will seriously think about selling the car.
Thanks for the overview I just going on vacation and renting one of these thank you very much for the overview I like that you explain about the torque and horsepower I like those aspects not so much the interior blah blah I like the a pillar looks like it has a good amount of braking power I'm more about all that stuff other than the looks and weather has Bluetooth or not or a sunroof but I think I rented a good car I'll find out in the next couple months thank you very much
@@AladdinSaneNYC lol no , I’m talking about President Trumps amazing economic policies with low gas prices, the highest GDP, best stock market, 📈 and housing affordability.
Privileged? Who talks like this? I think about my friend who came to America with $300.00, his life savings, and started working at a gas station. He owns several gas stations now and could buy anything on offer at Mercedes. Is he privileged or did he create value for others and reap the rewards? If you believe that you are helpless, you will never have anything nice.

Ben Hardy even drops videos on federal holidays. Car review monster!
Mercedes definitely makes great looking vehicles. I wish they could solve their reliability issues.
Reliability is the real luxury.

if reliability is what you looking for. then go to Lexus or Acura
Is this one have hybrid?
For that price this thing better have 360 degree cameras.
This car is 130,000 dollars in Turkey,

You can actually see then vent reflected on the window in this video. 6:12
Why not do a vidio with a higher end gla with some options.
Does it have heated seats?
This model does but it’s optional
Winter package optional. Heated steering wheel as well

When ur driving can u talk about the driving
It would be much easier to follow what you are saying, if you were to slow down when speaking
Mercedes buildings awesome suv like it
Could not understand a word, are you paid by the word per minute??
I'm a German native speaker and understood everything

I wish we still had President Trumps AMAZING ECONOMY! I’d love to be able to buy this #MercedesBenzGLA
You mean that in jest, correct? Hmmm...

Easy to flush out a liberal, just mention Trump (NYC in his user name is also a dead giveaway). You're absolutely correct!!! @@minipandora22
The words "Mercedes" and "Affordable" are present in privileged households 😂 Because common America ain't accessing these
In Joe Biden’s FAILING economy, *nothing is affordable* , he is a moron and a fool 😢
My 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid is a luxury car 🚗 to me.
damn near the same cost as this lol them camrys 40k easy these days@@Raider19582

@@nateisright black people have been brainwashed by #MSNBC and #CNN into believing that they are “oppressed”.
