Man, this channel is just so refreshing. When there's something to be said and shown about a car, you take your time. When it's just a generic run of the mill SUV that can be fully explored within 10 minutes, you do just that. And between us, I wouldn't even bother clicking a long video review for a car I care so little about. It's perfect. Never change. Oh, and btw., hi Lattrice - looking good! ;)

the problem with IT nowadays is that they rarely spend efforts on User Interface design. They have 98% requirements to provide all the capability/functionality and 1% design restrictive requirements and maybe 0-1% UI requirements. This leaves developers so much freedom with whatever the f heck they want to do with the UI and hence the bombardment of vomiting UI everywhere. Modern car LCD tech dash and infotainment design is absurd and honestly the biggest push back for me to get into them. Really well thought out UI design costs as much as developing the functionality and nobody ever spends that much effort no more. I would not spend my money on such products either.

It's probably the customer base's fault for always asking for new things, but I wonder when will they realize the limit of "that's enough". I get really pushed back when I see capacitive buttons on steering wheel and HVAC that's buried in the infotainment or a separate screen. I know ppl can get used to it, but I really would appreciate a car with very simple but high quality Infotainment UI.

Are you saying that software designed by engineers tends to have bad UI? :) I think Pro/Engineer (or Creo) is a pretty egregious example of this, Windows 8.1 too. Things that are logical to engineers, like swiping in from the right side of the screen to access the start menu, or from the the left of the screen to change applications, don't always make sense to users -- especially when they accidentally activate the "shortcut" and then wonder what the heck is going on! Even worse is when the engineers are told to add certain designs like the ribbon or full-screen settings menus, without any usability testing as to whether it's actually a good idea...

We just took delivery of one. We test drove the BMW X2, the Volvo XC40 and the Audi Q3. We almost bought the Audi but we’ve had experience with that 2.0 liter and didn’t have good luck (My wife traded in her MK6 GTI for the Mercedes). This felt really solid and quiet (I also have a Camaro SS 1LE so something on the cushier side for the wife was needed). Sure it’s a bit too techy on the infotainment side but after driving it for a few weeks it’s second nature. We basically use the “hey Mercedes” feature to set everything anyway. It’s a Mercedes so I did negotiate a good price on the extended warranty.

I respect your honesty. The main reason I'm looking at a GLA is because Mercedes in their infinite wisdom decided not to offer the B class in Canada anymore, which is a shame. Our current B class is the perfect (for us) combination of size, performance, luxury and fuel economy, and it rides higher than normal. For me, the GLA would be the next best thing.

This makes me curious how something like a CX-30 stacks up to the 'premium' brands. I know, the new GLA is slightly bigger than the previous one, which means it's also larger than the CX-30, but since Mazda wants to step up their game and become 'premium' how much would or wouldn't it be a competitor to a vehicle like this? I like these videos, however I've always found it difficult to place the driven vehicles in comparison to their competition. Now Mazda is a good example, but it's not just that, as the competition is hardly mentioned. When would it be a better idea to get a CX-30, or when would it be a better idea to consider a BMW X1? It also makes me curious about the lower entry models, like the A class has an A250, but also an A200 and A180 that have a completely different suspension setup (torsion beam from A200 and down). How does the Mazda torsion beam stack up to that I wonder? Same for the audio, does a CX-30 do it better or is it not even close?

When my ex-wife came to pick her dog up on Sunday in the Blue 2021 GLB that we ordered together, I was reminded how great that car looks. The GLA is too swoopy and curvy but the GLB is properly square. We never got a GLK so when the GLB came out it went straight to the top of the list. Ours... or shall I say hers, was around 47K with everything we wanted. I cringe at anyone paying close to 60K for a non 35 "AMG-lite" version of these though.

"It's not horrible". That about sums it up.

The wheel design is rarely tasteful and sane, that simple-beauty thing. Close to what OZ Racing used to offer with the Superturismo before they replaced it with the -GT. Although spoke count is an uneven number, which matters more to the visual style more than people might think and in my perception is inferior to even count especially with somewhat higher spoke count. AEZ Radon was a beautiful wheel, too, with a somewhat lower spoke count. I have wheels on my car that are in that style irreplaceable and in 16" which seems to be utterly shunned these days, a distinct gaping hole in a sea of 15" and 17". And don't get me started on 16" tire format choice. 6:29 Interesting to have revs in both analog and digital style. I like it. (As long as you can customize which ones to hide.)

It's a good looking little thing but the price is just crazy.

Got to drive one since I work at a Benz dealer. Turns this thing into a hot hatch. Using the paddle shifters makes it really fun.

It you just add all these CUVs into the category of hatchbacks, then we have more hatchbacks on the market than ever before. After your evaluation, it would be hard not to recommend buyers look into this model. It's good looking enough, but I would get an extended warranty and check to see if the dealer offers concierge service with the purchase and/or lease. That's an important value when compared to the competition. At 40k, there is a lot to choose from and the Q3 comes to mind. I guess the Mazda CX-30 too if someone wants to save 8K.

Wow, what a surprise. I was sure this one would be panned - especially since it was established right off the bat that it was Latrice's car. Is it really a compact? It looks sub-compact. The CRV, a compact, looks enormous in comparison. And good though this little Benz may be, I personally would prefer the more practical CRV. Savage is right - it's very much a Latrice car.

My only complaint about this and the GLB is that the seats are hard and uncomfortable. Especially for a “luxury/premium” car. Other than that, my GLB (2023) has been a hard worker, and a very practical vehicle. But the uncomfortable seats actually drove us to buy a 2024 Ram Rebel with the leather seats as our main family vehicle.

Please make some comments about the side windows. The front windows. And your position on the seat. I want you to compare where your head is in relation to the windshield header. Compare this to the alpha Stelvio. Compare it to any Mazda. Mercedes has push the windshield header a little farther up and forward. And you’re not sitting in the apex of a triangle. I find that particular kind of headroom much more comfortable than an Alfa or a Mazda that push the visors into my forehead

I’ve driven this and the previous gen. The added headroom is great, but the previous gen is so much sportier in both looks and feel IMO. This one is just too fat and chunky
