I just finished watching that before coming here and seeing your post. Great review from the Straight Pipes guys, as always. I wasn't necessarily interested in the GLA45 before seeing that but I am now. I will be hitting up my local MB dealer before the end of the summer for a test drive.

Yea I love the engine.. its very "high strung" in a good motor-sporty way.

Motortrend did a great review also vs the Macan if you werent interested in the GLA45 before

also, worth noting that the comparison to the macan was of an older version of the gla. it has a power bump, better transmission and better torque vectoring post 2015.
Oh, definitely get it with a wing!! from 2018 onwards , it can be optioned to have a 360 cam. if you live in the UK, i recommend that option because the car has some visibility restrictions.
