This car is everything that I wanted in an SUV! It’s small enough for me yet has the room and capacity to use for pickups and hauling. The panoramic roof is everything! I LOVE THIS SUV!

I bought the car 3 years ago and have had zero problems with it. The only issue was the factory hp of 208 was marginal. I had that fixed by getting a professional performance stage 2 tune to about 300 hp. The AMG version of the GLA uses the same 2 liter turbo engine and is rated at 375 hp. I recently drove a 2018 AMG version and I can say its not that much faster than my re-tuned GLA 250. The MSRP difference is over $20k and my tune cost $1k.

I love my new car. The handing is amazing. The luxury feeling without the luxury price is amazing. I love the look. It’s compact but big enough for me and my two older kids. Seriously I love it.
