If You're Thinking About Buying One, DON'T!

I took my E class in for service and they gave me one of these pieces of tin as a loaner. This car is beyond argument the worst automobile I've ever driven, it's loud and noisy as hell, to say nothing about how uncomfortable it is to drive and sit in. If this car is your price point, do yourself a favor and get over the fact that it has a 3 pointed star and buy yourself a Toyota or Honda, they are far superior to this piece of trash that shows is MB's is desperate to sell. My MB dealer sold two since they've been introduced and even he says it's a piece of trash. Let the buyer be ware.

Welp, that settles it. Just hope I can stop payment on the check before the dealer cashes it.

E class snobbery?

Let's face it, I would say the same about a Hyundai Accent if I owned a Genesis. All about perspective.

Assumption #1, wrong!

Frankly, in this case, you're wrong. Go drive one and than you can say that.

Get over yourself 1guitar

I drive one everyday. Much prefer it over driving my wife's GLK.

Please go back to the E class forum and leave those of us who like the GLA in peace.

GLA 45
dude you are an idiot
my amg is friggin perfect for what i want and compares well with an m135 rs3 sti or evo. Base gla is fine for what it is also. Apples to apples; you cant really compare a compact sport suv to a bloated numb sedan built for geriatrics

Not True

The GLA is just a piece of overpriced junk, there are numerous cars out there to be had for less money that provide a better ride, better acceleration and safety and all for less money, just because it says MB on it does guarantee that it's good. It's called having an open mind, but there are loads of mokeys on this web-site in their 20's and 30's and beyond whose lobes haven't fully formed, hence the word moron.

Until the E-Class isn't considered taxi-worthy, just chill out a little. BTW, how many customers between your service intervals?

I've driven an E-Class, owned a GLK, carpooled in a G-Wagon, and I still love my GLA. But, someone on a forum told me it's crap, so I guess I'm selling it?

FYI, I am 58 years old and this is my third MB. I am just as pleased with my GLA as I was the S class I owned a few years ago.

We just need a Maybach owner to go on the E-Class forum and tell them that the E class is a piece of crap and not to buy it.

two totally different cars!.... different price points!. I like both cars equally. just the blind spots in the GLA are a little tough to get use to !

1guitar,
Maybe you should keep your kak comments to yourself!
You have an E350 and trashing a GLA, pot and kettle anyone?
I have owned every C63 AMG's made, ok besides the BS, but i just love my GLA45. I drive the GLA more often than my C63 and love every minute of it. Can't say the same about your 350 though, its heavy and under powered and has the poorest road handling than any car I have ever driven. Maybe we GLA owners think that your E350 is a piece of trash!

Mentality, or lack of?

Maybe you'll change your mind by the time you're 25.

Is 1guitar childish?

And you are displaying your age and wisdom?

Your comments and attitude you've displayed suggest you have a lot of growing up to do also my friend.
