GLA 250 4MATIC
2021 GLA 250 4MATIC

Hello everyone,

I just pulled the trigger and ordered our first MB.

We are Saab people and recently Subaru. Our 2010 Saab is a 95 Aero is how we an auto to drive, ie. sports sedan. Our 2016 Outback 3.6 drives fine but the new Outbacks are way too soft in the suspension and I was disappointed in the 4 cylinder turbo. The Audi Q3 was not acceptable either, suspension way too soft. Then we drove the new GLA and we were in love. It drove outstanding. Funny, the engine had about the same specs as the Audi but performed much better. Combined with the better suspension it was in a different league.

Not a lot of stock in the USA as far as what options we wanted so we decided to order one. So now I am reading as much as I can about the MB. There is not a lot of information other than their web site and user manual. Are there any other in depth reads on the 2021 GLA?

Looking forward to reading some posts... Carl

Hi and welcome to the forum Carl. Thanks for the intro. The CLA is a beauty. It is so roomy inside for a ‘small’ car. Please show us some pics when you get it home
