Amber rear signals are just so much more elegant looking. Having the signal light share a same unit as the brake light just screams cheap and corner cutting
Just ordered mine in the U.S. with AMG Line w/ Night Package and Premium, I hate how rear-seat cupholders are a $360 option and moonroof is $1500, should be standard!
I ordered the GLA but ultimately bought the GLB. I bought it because it seats 7 and really good fuel economy. The interior is nice but there are a few things that is annoying: 1) Android auto is not full screen, 2) The back seat vents don't work unless the fronts are off, 3) fake exhaust tips, 4) no towing capacity/bike rack, 5) options are expensive.
I guess the base price isn't too bad, but all the features you really want/ get standard on non luxury names are optional lol. Also, you need to upgrade to get better wheels and looks.
We never had an issue with all MB my family has own. Mine reach 100k miles and it still hasn't had a problem. Our 2001 MB C-Class hit $120k before one of the ABS sensors went out after that no issues. 2011 - 2019 MB's C-Class E-Class GLK GLC S
@@SergioSilva-pr4ek Thanks for the input Sergio- I've always wanted one, but had concerns over maintenance issues. This information is very helpful for me!
Chuck Kerber I would say they have great lease offers try leasing one for two or three years and all your maintenance is taken care of so if anything goes wrong nothing comes out of your pocket and you can actually try a Mercedes without any penalty. 73% of Mercedes owners are retained and 63% of those that do leave come back. No problem safe driving! (:
It’s actually really weird how they’ve been randomly putting them in some models and not others lately. The new GLC coupe has them too, but the normal GLC doesn’t. On the previous GLA and CLA the base tail lights had them but not the upgraded LED ones. Most other new Benzes use the brake light to signal, a design feature they have in common with a cheap ass 1983 Chevette. It truly baffles the mind.
It's not random. The US has size requirement for the turn signal area. This GLA and the GLC coupe has large enough turn signal area so they can keep the amber turn signal. Other Mercedes has smaller area for the turn signals which is not large enough to meet US requirement so mercedes just use the brake lights to flash as turn signals on those car.
@@manrows Smaller screens FWD drive version most likely. Not saying it cant be had for cheaper but throw options that most folks want and it is 50k easily.
@@gipsyavenger9829 I said “well equipped” (19” wheels, 2 x 10” digital screen ... etc) FWD, where I live I don’t need 4matic. I don’t know why people pay for options they don’t ready need. So, yes, you can find a great deal for this MD. They’re selling like hot cakes!
@@manrows My wife loves it. I spec'd one for her but struggle with the $50k price tag. Enjoy it. Not hating I have an AMG so I sip the MB cool-aid daily.
My GLK drove way better than the CX5. I actually nsold the CX5 to buy the GLK. Now driving the GLC. However the CX5 it's in the GLC/X3 class. Size wise because Mazda will never belong to the premium tier
Can you please review Jaguar Land Rover Vehicles on this channel? I would like to see them here. Second, Please also start to include Italian brands such as Maserati and Alfa Romeo, plus you could add mini and Mitsubishi to your car confections portfolio. Finally please do a review on the Jeep Wrangler JL and the Jeep Gladiator? Please ask Mann CJDR for a Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator to review. I would think my idea’s would bring more excitement to this channel.
The Good man I test drove a UX250H. To me it is too small, just slightly bigger than my wife’s CT200h, very disappointing. Probably that doesn’t bother you. Suit yourself.
Mercedes is so petty to me. Lol The brand loves to nickle n dime you on every little "extra" feature.... meanwhile you wanna charge over 30k for a car that has FAUX this/FAKE that/SYNTHETIC this/LEATHERETTE etc. type of materials..... JOKE 🤣🤣🤣
Who even listens to that idiot? These cars are reliable. The 2 litre petrol is the most popular engine in the world. He complains because he is a grumpy old man that prefers winding windows to electric windows. He'd probably exclude a radio in his car. He's immune to high tech cars. Don't blame Mercedes for the outdated minds of an idiot like that. The car industry wouldn't move forward if it wasn't for car makers like Mercedes.
By the way, love how this new GLA stacks up against the competition. It has more space and loads of tech than some of the rivals do
Great Review!!!! You are the first person that showed how the gear shift works on this vehicle. Thanks!

Yes, Idk why but I HATE that, it just looks so...... unfinished.
I think this a great entry level suv. Perfect for a small family. Love the tech and the gauges!
That is how one saves on a Mercedes - using coupons.
I'm just here for your intro......"what is gooiiiiiiiing oooooooooonnnnn youtube"
lol

Do what do you think of it so far? Could it would for a young family?

Great video of the Mercedes Benz GLA!!! You guys are the best!!!
Thanks so much!
Howdy, great review as always! The GLA is second only to the GLC for being my favorite Mercedes-Benz SUV!😸😻😸

Hi Drew and Mason 🙂, it's great you took some time off for rest and relaxation. Also, I saw your press Nissan Sentra in this vid.
You guys rock! This is the first review in the US of this car! Other reviews of this were over seas! Awesome!
Thanks! We always try to get them as fast as we can!
Better looking than the previous model but there are lots of upscaled mainstream models today as cheaper alternative Nice review
Richard Favreau id rather drive one of those
Last gen had much better exterior
Great review 👍 love it , thank u guys
I love the 2021 Mercedes GLA 250 it’s very nice and awesome!! I love it!
Me too!
Ryan Frisby I know!! It’s very nice
Please do a compare video for GLA and GLB! Love your videos!
Not bad for the price point- just with they were more reliable. In the meantime, I'll stick with my RX 450H. Nice review.
There's nothing wrong with reliability. Especially the 2 litre petrol since it's the most popular engine in the world.

Imagine... it turns out these are like Toyota-grade reliable.
But we don’t know yet because it hasn’t been 18 years yet
My grandma has the 2017 but moved up to a Model Y! I rather she have that but this is a cool alternative
A proper amber rear turn signal!? On a Mercedes Benz!? Maybe hell will freeze over next ..
It's always been like that. The US market was using red for some reason. Maybe they're changing it now for the US market.

A MB you can love for $36k ? Steering wheel sold separately. Good luck finding one for $36k. These things optioned will be on average $45k to $50k.
I just bought this car well equipped for $40k out of the door!

Does this drive better than the CX-5 signature in your last video
vegasman33322 I would love to hear their thoughts on that too!
My GLK drove way better than the CX5. I actually nsold the CX5 to buy the GLK.
Now driving the GLC.
However the CX5 it's in the GLC/X3 class. Size wise because Mazda will never belong to the premium tier
It is normal hear a clunk everytime that you going slowly and stop
I mean Down shifting gears 3 to 1 ?
Can you make a review for Toyota Corolla sedan full option(limited) non-hybrid
Stay tuned! Soon!
@@CarConfections please do it
Can’t wait!
Is that the base varnit?
OMG!!! Yessss!!! Love It!! Great Price!! It looks so Discreet but still Outstanding!!
Also, what type of gas do you need to use?
It asks for Premium fuel
How much is premium package?

Idk the materials look upscale but don’t feel it. It’s definitely intended to target a younger audience.
Where are the gears?
I miss the round lights in the back 😂❤
This or the xc40?
GLA
The Volvo
Will you be reviewing the 2021 GLE?
Yes, hopefully in the near future!
GLA or Q3?
Those wheels are a yikes.
They are the base ones tho
I like the car but I’m hesitant to purchase because of reliability and maintenance cost.
Did you get this car? I'm worried about the maintenance cost too
@@abhisheksubramanian9665 No, I ended up getting Lexus NX and I love it!
at 0:40 why was the left tailight like that? is that a rear fog light?
Yes, I accidentally had it turned on
I'll stick with the caddy XT4
Wooop
Bought Audi q3. Better awd
What’s goeeeeeeeeeeennnnnn owwwwwwwwn TH-cam
At 2:30 he changes his clothes. 🤷♂️ how come ?
😂😂
You watching HIM or the Benz video??? !! 😂😂LOL
I think GLB and GLC are better options, and GLC is more reliable, GLB is too early to say.
Are you all twins?
We're brothers but not twins (4 years apart)
Interior does not look that great. Not a big fan of this Odometer and three circle vent design.
Is this guy 15??? He’s going to talk me into a Benz with all his experience? Ha!
Check out the channel, driven more cars than you will in a lifetime 🤣
$500 for heated seats? I am offended by that Mercedes. Lol.
Kadeen Hunter In Canada it’s standard, due to the cold weather I guess.
The last gen had a better exterior
Lexus UX is better
The Good man UX’s interior space is too small, particularly the trunk - deal breaker.
@@penguin_ca no its not
The Good man I test drove a UX250H. To me it is too small, just slightly bigger than my wife’s CT200h, very disappointing. Probably that doesn’t bother you. Suit yourself.
Lexus isn't better at anything. Their cars are so outdated. Terrible engines. And the worst infotainment system in the world.
@@SDav21 the UX is brand new what are you talking about
it's a Nissan engine . . . .
Mercedes is so petty to me. Lol The brand loves to nickle n dime you on every little "extra" feature.... meanwhile you wanna charge over 30k for a car that has FAUX this/FAKE that/SYNTHETIC this/LEATHERETTE etc. type of materials..... JOKE 🤣🤣🤣
3rd
Nice obese a class
Ugly interior why no more woods? Real leather?
As Scotty Kilmer says lease one don't buy it because they are money pits...
Scotty Kilmer is full of shit. I’ve owned 3 Mercedes and they all have been very reliable and easy to maintain.
Who even listens to that idiot? These cars are reliable. The 2 litre petrol is the most popular engine in the world.

Mercedes can be very reliable if it is made in Germany @ Scotty Kilmer, check out his new video about German made Mercedes!
This isn’t a 120k S class lol. It’s a 2 liter 4 cylinder turbo that just about every other brand crossover suv has.
