Potential Buyer

Hey guys, I wanted to know your thoughts and opinions of the 2020+ GLA45. I can't stop thinking about how much I like them, but I'm not sure I've really ever seen one in person. The spec of the one below is the one I'd want, black with the cross spoke AMG wheels and aero package. I'd be coming from a '13 Full Size Range Rover, and am hoping the GLA 45 is the hot hatch of my dreams, but on the "bigger" end... like a GLC or Porsche Macan.

Noise and ride comfort? I'm not excepting a Rolls Royce here, but looking for everyday practicality as well.

It is a good looking car but the facelift is around the corner though... don't you want to wait? Unless you don't like the changes or don't want to wait.

Just throwing out a feeler, like I said, I'm not sure I've seen one in person, and I'm in no rush to make a decision.
