nice vid i got one of these optioned out last year for a good price before COVID drove prices on all used cars up pretty happy with it so far BUT if you get Mercedes to do a software update on your 2016-2018 GLA it makes sports mode better for some reason and reduces the warm up time from cold start there was a minor electrical limiter on some cars sold between 2015-2018 and their update removes those limiters on various functions of the car does not make a mind blowing difference but makes a difference none the less.
Prices have gone up on these. Had a chance at a 15 for $26k now the same car goes for $32k. I was able to get a clean 16 for $33k at carmax in October.
@@-_-GT350 oh I love Carmax. I only buy from them with Maxcare. Dude they will fix anything for a $100 deductible. Had a 135is from them they paid out 9k in repairs! They probably suck to buy reliable cars from but little high reving high hp cars that can break and expensive to fix... they rock! I'm covered for 5 additional years pretty much bumper to bumper.
Am in love with the car, it's like it was made for me. But the older Gla45 is so much better looking than the new ones. Hopefully am getting mine this year.
I've got same car yellow night edition 17 model.. I just loved the full alcantara steering wheel. And car goes fantastic. Great on fuel in comfort mode out on highway. And in race mode . Just flatern it easy quick enough. Has launch control never use it .
Star Citizen AND a GLA45? You are my kind of person. Most YT channels focus on one general thing so it might be best to split these, but congrats on the car man, it looks sweet.
Hey I just got a 2018 Gla 45 AMG a week ago. And I'm glad you mentioned the thump when coming to a stop. Lol I was worried! 2 questions if I could. I just noticed the two middle struts of my wing are a bit loose so the wind kind of moves up and down a little bit. Is that normal? This my 1st Merc. Also my auto stop/start only works like 15% of the time. Is that normal?
Sweet video. I’ve been looking at this car for about 2 or so years now. Been thinking about getting one possibly next year. But like you did I also have the RS3 on my mind. What are your payments like on the GLA45?
The car had less than 10k miles when I bought it that's why the price was so high i got a low mileage one because people don't service the transmission and no down payment just really good credit
this is different and no one makes content on this amazing car look forward to more i subbed , i feel you on the audi about to get the s4 soon and trade the mustang in audi makes GREAT CArs 2!
Found your channel and more specifically this video because I'm deciding between the GLA and a Kia Stinger leaning towards the GLA now after this video if I can find a good one
I was looking at a 2015 gla45 with 16k miles. It looks brand new… I am a little scared because I am unsure about the maintenance costs. Is there a specific issue I should look out for before buying it? What are the common problems with this car and at what mileage? I know some of the gla 45 from 2015 were recalled, however I already checked the VIN and the one I’m looking to buy does not apply to any recall. Please help… I really want this car
I had a sleeper WRX wagon, personally I think sleepers are overrated. You're not going to hoon this every day and have good insurance so it helps if it looks sporty. Lots of soccer-moms run the normal GLA. edit: haha this is 2 years old. Thanks TH-cam suggestions.
I was debating it but I'm thinking an evoque instead. You made some key points .....the steering wheel is a big deal, the fact you cant control entertainment or any other features from the wheel is a just crazy for that money.
@@marcuswynn89 I've been ALL Subaru since before it was popular. I always wanted the STI hatch but I'm tired of the scene & people beating on them and the EJ is just a tired design. I recently got to drive a 2020 4Matic GLA250 for a week & I loved it. So i'm going to get a 2015 GLA45 AMG when the time is right. I love all the comforts and quality. While others are wasting $ on the Focus RS, newer WRX & Corolla GR. I'll be running one of these.
I bought my wife 2017 yellow night edition, she was never into cars. I drive a Evo x with Mitsubishi 300kw kit. Now she absolutely can't stop talking about her new car. She love the way it drive and how it so planted to the road. No body roll as she accelerating out of a turn. She a petrol head now.
Youre saying they didn’t black the shit out right after saying they offer a blacked out package ? SMH my dude spend the money and tick the boxes simple
Check out this video! th-cam.com/video/NadXsL7l9zY/w-d-xo.html
compared to the newest version, this one is a treasure
I would have to concur with your assessment
New one is trash! It became an suv and the A 45 s isnt even available in the usa. They took the whole hot hatch appeal away from the gla 45
Yeah they did i don't like the exterior of the new gla 45 very much
@@marcuswynn89 but the interior is better also has changeable RGB lights with a voice assistant
@@GuyAboveTrash I could care less for RGB lights and voice assistant.

Any issues at all?

Yeah they are good for sure city driving mpg isn't as good but it's decent enough to where it doesn't drink too much gas
Thx man i m the same ~ decide on this one or g70 i picked this one
I think the g70 platform is still unproven

Just make sure they have records of the maintenance being done and you should be fine
It should of have at least, a service A done, and a couple drain and fill oil changes.

i love gapping scatpacks in soccer mom car
You should make a video of sound with exhaust button comparison on and off
Would be a good idea, some of the exhaust sound is pumped through the speakers
@@marcuswynn89 So on the outside the sound is the same?
You know I'm not really sure i haven't heard the car from the outside

No problem i try to reply as quick as i can! Do me a favor subscribe and share this video!
My 18 gla45 is not fully load should i go Benz to get Android auto or just other shop to install aftermarket
You could get that aftermarket 12 inch screen

Yes it’s pretty insane you can get a newer style wheel though

How to install the keyless entry on 2015 GLA 45?
Y’all you need to do is get the button that goes in the ignition
I just bought one, and I'm thinking about driving out to San Diego To let doug demuro do a video on it. I don't belive he has one yet
That would be pretty awesome if he did they are the best bang for the buck right now

Nice how do you like it?
Bro it’s called analytics lmfao it shows what we buy I love hatchbacks too but Americans aren’t buying them
GLA45 amg NO ~ NO ~
AMG ýGLA45 👌
The things you talking about you like. You need to get the yellow night edition. Black out all the stuff u like.
I do like the yellow but they are more expensive, but don't worry a yellow car is coming to the channel soon stay tuned!

That's dope I'm glad she likes it
1:53 in = Subbed let's get it
Why the title ? What’s wrong
Nothing is wrong the car is great it's just to get people click the video
Automotive TH-cam doesn’t need another Scotty Kilmer.
That said...nice video!
Your reason for not launching the car is the strangest I’ve ever heard.
I do want the car to last lol
Way better car than the Audi you wanted to get
The ttrs/rs3 platform can make 700whp easy on a stock block gla/cla45 AMG doesn't even come close
Youre saying they didn’t black the shit out right after saying they offer a blacked out package ? SMH my dude spend the money and tick the boxes simple
No I'm saying the they should have blacked everything out black chrome and white looks tacky
Remap Will get near 500bhp
That's if i have the other supporting mods such as e85, which in not doing
For what? If he not living in germany or dragging it. Power is more than enough for this light vehicle.
It pulls good
I don't think anyone here can afford the new one...just sayin
Haha maybe in two to three years lol
