I got a GLA45

Title says it all. I'm a large sedan/wagon/big engine guy, so there's been some getting used to, but overall I like it a lot.

This is the newest car (2019) I've ever owned and the lowest miles (~40k). I might even finally have Android Auto, but I still haven't gotten it to work.

It's cosmos black with black interior. I'm not sure how Cosmos Black is different from my E Class's Obsidian Black... I'll post some pics soon.

Love the MCT and the pops and burbles and the new car smell. I'm going to have to dive into the technical aspects of the car though because there doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there, unlike for E and S classes...

Was able to get one dimly lit photo. I still haven't washed it!




Honestly, the dealer was pretty shady, so it's been out of my hands most of the time since I got it and it's going back to the dealer again soon. Hopefully won't be a big deal long-term, but need to get everything sorted while it's still their responsibility. MFers...

Hopefully will give it a good wash this weekend and get some good pics.

Looks a little sad in the photo, I know why, must be because you haven't drive it yet. So the car isn't happy.
