    I had a first gen GLA 45 AMG and aside from the fairly cheap interior and some rattles, the car was a total hoot to drive. I had the sports seats and exhaust which were well worth it. The handling was fantastic as was the drivetrain minus some of the DSG quirkiness. It's been the best I've owned for driving on twisty roads but a huge measure.

    That coupled with what ever renault is charging Mercedes for that 4cyl engine. And the standard added tech for this model year makes it balance out...yes they're overcharging since it was introduced. But give it one year depreciation and it may be a solid buy.

    I was just thinking the other day how nice it would be if you reviewed a Benz on this platform! My mom drives a 2022 A250 4matic hatchback and there’s a severe lack of technical info out there. I agree with your assessment, fun handling, perfect size, and underrated. My mom’s was a dealer demo that was driven by a salesman for 6 months then sat for 6 months, we got it for 2/3rds the price of new, same price that GTI’s were going for at the time.

I was a flight engineer in the Air Force on EC-130Es a few years during the Iraq war. SO "mechanical" Anyway, keep doing what you do Sarah, love you!

    This thing needs more modes. Like drop off the kids at school mode were only the passenger side doors open. Mall mode where the car doesn't pay attention to pedestrians. Hiway mode where the car goes 20mph over the limit with a sense of entitlement. You know, modes like that.
