What does everyone here think of the Mercedes Benz GLA? I think it seems quite interesting - even the base model. My only major concern would be maintenance costs, especially on with the GLA AMG edition.

I like the idea of GLA45 AMG. Which is weird.

I wouldn't say it is weird at all! Unless you are normally the kind of person who hates that sort of thing.

I hate that sort of crossover thing.

Honestly I don't really get the point of it. From what I've read it does handle fairly well for a small crossover, and the AMG version is pretty insane, but unless you're really into the crossover thing or its styling, it seems like the money could be better spent elsewhere. It's basically a lifted hatchback, and 50k could get you a lot of car. You could save 10k+ and get a Golf R, or spend the 50k and get a well optioned 335i. If you dip into used or CPO territory, the competition gets even more intense.

In other words, the AMG version is interesting on its own, but you'd have to crazy about it to ignore what else you can get at that price.

As far as the base model, once again consider what you could get elsewhere for the price. If you're talking MB/Audi/BMW, the options will add up real fast, so once again unless you're crazy about the car/badge, it doesn't seem worth it to me.

Basically a CLA hatchback. It doesn't have much in the way of ground clearance. I'm undecided.

Now that would be one heckuva ride! I imagine they'd have to sacrifice a few things though. Like the back seat...
