GLA as replacement for BMW X1 35i
Hi All, wondering about the GLA... it will be for my daughter. She is currently driving a 2013 BMW X1 35i. its a great little sleeper rocket with 300 HP, smooth I-6 N55 engine AWD
We also have had and have several MB's as well ( current GLE 43)
How is GLA as a performance car? does the 2wd handle well? it is "fun" to drive or rather a basic entry level MB.? Options and packages to recommend?
Looking at a 2018 or newer with under 25K miles... Also cross shopping a volvo XC40 and perhaps another X! or X2.
Not sure she will be happy with a car that is lazy to drive.
Any issues to look out for? we like to keep cars for 6 to 8 years and will put up to 100K miles on them before we sell them.
Thanks for any thoughts
