2025 Mercedes-BenzGLA 250 For Sale

I've owned it for a few weeks, so take this review how you will. I purchased a 2021 GLA 4matic with the matte gray paint. It's a beautiful vehicle, ivory interior, a panoramic roof and I actually prefer the track pad next to the center console over the 2025 version. Personally, I love having buttons and a more tactile experience, but everyone is different. The car drives well, though it's got a sensitive brake and I'm getting used to that. The most dangerous design "flaw" this vehicle has is the gear shift. It's in the exact same location and looks exactly like my windshield wipers on the Subaru I drove before this vehicle. I'm pretty paranoid about accidentally putting my car in neutral while driving down the highway when the rain starts... but I think it's worth it. I just have to be mindful and get used to the change, but I love this car so much. I'm a small woman, 5'2", and I have a hard time seeing out of certain vehicles. I can see really well with minimal blind spots in this vehicle. It's got great visibility and maneuverability. I easily get in and out of the vehicle and I just love all the luxurious upgrades that my subaru did not have. I love the seats, the lights, the tech, the way it handles, I love the whole thing. I'm really proud of this vehicle and I'm really looking forward to driving it for the next 7 or 8 years hopefully.

Now I just purchased this, so there hasn’t been much time for things to go wrong but I’ll tell you why I bought it. First, price point couldn’t be beat for a luxury vehicle. I got my GLA for under $30k and right at 30k miles. Mine came with a special matte metallic paint that made it unique and is also a 4matic. I came from a Subaru forester and appreciate the visibility that vehicle gave me. The GLA has similar visibility. Great windows and no glaring blind spots. The brake is sensitive and I’m still learning to not stomp on the pedal. The only thing that I’d love to change about this car is the gear shift. It’s exactly where the windshield wiper controls were on my last vehicle. Not ideal. I’m actually terrified I might put my car in neutral while going 60 on the highway in the rain. It’s something I’ve got to be really careful about. The interior is gorgeous, as you’d expect from Mercedes. Mine is a tan leather interior with black accents. It’s got really cool tech inside and customizable wrap around screens. Can’t be beat for the price. I’m in love.

I've had my car for nearly four years and have truly enjoyed it the entire time. It's been half-way across the country and back, twice. It's very comfortable to drive in the city and I love the short wheelbase for U-turns in the street. Self-parking is an amazing feature, and so easy to use. The digital dashboard is intuitive can the car paired very easily with my iPhone(s). If I had to pick a single issue I don't like it's that the driver visor doesn't extend when I have it on the side window. That's a pretty small item in the whole package.
