2015 GLA 250
Got my new 2015 GLA 250 on Sunday!!

Since I moved from Texas to the northeast earlier this year, I needed a good AWD or 4 wheel drive. Had to trade in my 2010 E350 with only 24K miles on it. Got the 2015 GLA 250 with the Premium, Multimedia and Sports package on it! Fun crossover and actually pretty fast! Got the roof rack, illuminated mercedes star and cargo tray on order for the end of this week. Window tinting is next!

Congrats !!
Enjoy your new black on nightblack GLA250 ; )

Beside the Bi-Xenon package, I got a almost identical GLA250 as yours. (Premium, Multimedia and Sports package)

I'm so depressed with the ugly tiny yellowish halogen headlight in the halogen reflector housing....

Yeah, I agree. I am moving from this corp housing this weekend to a single family home with a garage. I plan on changing to slotted and dimpled rotors front and back and going with red calipers front and back when I get settled.

Very nice, Does it feel a lot smaller than the E350? How is the ride quality compared to the e350?

Probably about the same room as the E350...just in a different way. I am about over 6ft tall and fiddled with seat settings and got it saved, same with my wife who is 5'9 bare foot. I have one baby seat and one booster. So about the same as the E350 when it comes to space, but much easier to get them in and out than in the coupe. 4 doors!

I got it mainly because I got a good deal on my E350 coupe, was a 2010 with only 24,800K miles and I owned it, so they gave me good money for it and since it was my 3rd benz, got the loyalty credit to. Took a loan for 1.99% for 36months on the remaining balance. And I needed a AWD/4 Wheel Drive for the winter weather up here in the NE since my coupe was not 4matic coming from Houston, Tx.

I do miss my coupe though.......but kids come first!

Oh come on, I have an E350 and drove the GLA several times...there is much more headroom, cabin volume, driver volume in the E class than the GLA.

I mean it's not even close, but it's intended to not be close.

yeah, it does, just different in a way to me. I am 6ft and thought the E coupe had enough room, the GLA does have higher room. The trunk in the E coupe is bigger than the GLA, that is for sure

I think the OP is comparing his previous E350 coupe to the GLA, not the E350 sedan. The E350 sedan definitely has more space, especially in the rear bench. As for the E350 coupe, I'd much rather have the GLA to transport 2 kids around. Congrats on your new car, OP!
