comparison to GLA45

how does the C450/C43 compare to the GLA45. has anyone driven both??

saw a pretty nice one (maybe had some body mods - def aftermarket wheels) on the road today, and when i looked at the specs i was surprised to see these things are just 2Liter 4cylidner turbos cranking out 375hp with AWD... base weight of ~3400lbs. thats not bad for a little 4banger mini SUV!

curious how they compared to our cars. seems like they would be pretty quick.

Ya peppy little 4 banger and hand crafted by Hans...4.3 secs 0-6....I think the exterior is nice but the interior ..well not so much.

I drove a GLA45 as a loaner, pretty much agree with the sentiments above. I have read that the 2020 interior is better and mbux is an improvement. The GLA45 I drove had much better suspension than my c450 but there was more noticeable lag compared to my C450 and GLC43. I picked the GLC over the GLA because it's just a nicer better sorted ride. I'd be interested to see if MB stepped up their game for the '20 A-class refresh.

have got an A Class, same as the GLA if we talk about the interior quality, so GLA not bad but if you take a seat in the C Class you directly feel the diff... everything is just a better quality in the C Class....
