 I've had the car for 18 months, and overall have been happy with it. It get's great mileage, and the drive quality is quite good. Slightly more road and wind noise when compared to other MB models. Interior quality is excellent, instrument layout is very good, except the navigation screen seems somewhat out of place. Ample cargo space, especially with rear seats folded. Since this is a new model, MB has some perfecting to do. What I find surprising is that since its introduction to the North American market, this particular model hasn't really taken off, I rarely see any in California. My sense is that MB may discontinue this model, similar to the discontinued GLK model. New GLC & GLE models are hitting the MB dealerships and have certainly peaked interests of new buyers. In the mean time, I continue to enjoy my GLA250 4Matic and its reliability, as well as the many compliments I have received from onlookers.
