some to eat and this one

Then do it genius.

It’ll be falling apart after two years.

@@snoopy13946 This isn't a Ford dumbass.

danger450 That’s true. A Ford would last only twelve months.

Well it is a crossover, nothing exciting there

@@davidn5861 actually it's still over priced when you compare it with BMW. I mean a fully loaded x3 still uses primary rear-wheel-drive with xDrive with more power and can be had for a lot less. And the X3 competes directly with the Glc 300. So yeah this tiny Mercedes is insanely overpriced especially being front-wheel-drive biased. Even a Acura RDX Advanced model would cost a lot less than this and offer much more. I prefer BMW iDrive infotainment system instrument cluster over this buggy crap that Mercedes is trying to Pawn off. Mercedes came out with this system a few years ago and every single review I've watched shows that it is not ready.

...except the GLA is better than the XT4 in every single way, including performance numbers, handling, interior quality, interior design, tech, etc. Wake up

Matt Finestein : Nahhhh

Crystal2Latina Try counteracting one point I made there dude. I’m not lying lol

Matt Finestein the Cadillac does 0-60 in high 6 seconds with a RELIABLE turbo 4. Has adaptive suspension witch makes it only in its class. You won’t find one bit of rubberized plastic unlike the Mercedes with that being all over the dash. The only real material in that car is the aluminum trim on the dash and the leather seats. Look at the spec and you’ll find they use cheap alternatives were Cadillac uses real leather through the interior. Put both cars side by side in every aspect and you’ll see the difference. Because I did.

Chevy Fan Sorry to tell you “Chevy Fan” LMAO, but the upper dash in the XT4 is also a soft touch plastic, just like the GLA. I don’t need your “opinion”, as I just watched a video on both, and you should too, as you’re clearly forgetting certain things from your “experiences” with both of them. I also have to tell you you’re hopelessly incorrect with your 0-60 stats. I really hope you start doing research in the future before making silly comments that make you look like an idiot. The XT4 SPORT is tested by Car and Driver at 7.8 seconds 0-60, NOT high 6 seconds. Car and Driver ALSO achieved 5.8 seconds to 60 with the GLA. And if you’re going to say the 4 banger in the Merc is “unreliable”, well then once again, you need to do your research. It’s actually quite a reliable engine. And if you’re going to say a 2 (TWO) second difference to 60 is insignificant, I don’t know what to do except feel bad for you. So wow, the Cadillac has independent suspension. Not a big deal. The Mercedes has so many advantages over the XT4 I’m too lazy to even name all them. Let’s take a wild guess here; why do you think the GLA sells so well while the XT4 sells like absolute junk? Because the XT4 really isn’t as good as a GM fanboy, such as yourself thinks it is. It’s a crappy, unforgettable car. While you like to babble on about how the Cadillac has “great interior quality”, that is virtually the opposite of what every reviewer says about it.

Agree. You see every particle of dust and every scratch, even to micro scratches. It's same as stupid fake exhaust tips they started doing.

I’m not sure about US but in Canada you can get real wood painted in black.Relatively inexpensive upgrade,I think I paid 250-300 $ for wiife’s GLC.Other colors are available as well.

All you need is powaaaa and confy seats, everything else is not needed.

Every meal that costs more than 2 dollars is overpriced.

Yes, I average about 3hours a day. And my vehicle is my reliable sanctuary. I love my Acura RDX.

NoNegotiations Plus a good sound system with punchy bass & all of the driver assistance tech to help you protect your car lol 😂

Well those over engineered stuff is what makes it good. The camera never gets dirty. The cupholders hold everything in place very well.

No extra cost is for the star. And that is the reason they keep making it bigger and bigger every year.

I would rather spring for a Infiniti or a fiat .

This is overpriced. I have a loaded BMW X3 that has pretty much all of this gear with a better upgraded leather and more power with a ZF 8 speed transmission and primary rear-wheel-drive with xDrive for 9,000 less. I have the panoramic roof oversized tires and it's really the next trim that competes with the gla 300 and still cost 9,000 less than this pile of crap after discounts. This car is for suckers. AMG options are ridiculously overpriced. And from my experience Mercedes does not discount much. It's no wonder that BMW destroys them in sales and are reliable as well they have very good assembly in South Carolina and are also one of the biggest exporters of cars in the United States.

Thermometers have been doing it for nearly 300 years. Did you have a point?

But this is the compact class of SUV and is worth 41000 at best. This is grossly overpriced for what you get. You can get a fully loaded Q5 or X3 for this kind of money. Mercedes is smoking some good s*** trying to sell this for that kind of dough.

@@HiPlains1 I agree! This comment was just my initial reaction to the thumbnail. Upon watching the video, I'd definitely pass on this one for an X2, X3 or Q3 in a heartbeat.

HiPlains1 you could get a loaded GLC for this money too. I guess they’re just going for people who want a really small SUV but aren’t as worried about price. Dealers seem to never equip these this loaded though.

Or buy a used Ford Taurus for $10k and do the same.

@@Jacobk66 we have a 13 limited. Definitely a nice ride.

JogBird yeah. My thoughts exactly.

Brian how ?

Or, not.

Even a Ford escape

Nobody pays that anymore. Routinely can update my XM every year for about $120 and that's the full package but more importantly I can use the internet app which streams at a much higher bit rate and includes more stations I can Bluetooth that to my home receiver as well. It's actually a pretty good value now.

Man Mercedes did that to all the rest of SUVs. Hopefully they design the back seats to fold down from the hatch using a button unbelievably they still have the old system where you have to go up front. This is way overpriced. I have a loaded BMW X3 it has more power and primary rear-wheel-drive with xDrive with real upgraded leather upgraded stereo panoramic roof blah blah blah destroys this and I paid 9000 less with discounts. I did look at the Mercedes a few years back when I bought mine and honestly was not impressed with any of their line as for what you get for the money and Mercedes does not discount or sell as much. My opinion BMW makes the best German SUV for the money.

GLA, GLB, GLC, GLC Coupe, GLE, GLE Coupe and GLS

And G Class of course

Too bad Q3 doesn't have memory seats... My wife and I don't want to adjust the seats every single time.

Makasuro yeah, my cons would be no memory seats (which I don’t get) and no ventilated seat option.

Exactly! 'hey mercedes' got it wrong 😀

Yh 😆

S P E A K S L O W E R.

No shit genius, this isn't a garbage Hyundai.

it's because real exhausts get dirty due to carbon buildup around the tips. And it's probably cheaper to build a fake one

Someone needs glasses.

Buick Encore with a $20,000 extra price tag because it has a Mercedes logo on it

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a base sub compact SUV, get a grip.

danger450 🤣🤣. Get a grip? One of the most innovative luxury brands is still charging for adjustable second row seats, driver assisted package, heated seats, and push button start. You and Mercedes get a grip.

@@danger450 Have you ever seen a Honda? they have tons of this stuff as standard.... for a lot less

Mark Robertson 🤣🤣.

Mark Robertson just to let you know, uneducated tool, a base level GLA isn’t that fast. Also, Honda’s base features are good too.

That's why you always want to wait 1-2 years and buy for half price.

Someone needs a lesson in realistic depreciation ... and it's not me.

@@NoNegotiations Well DUH, it's then a pre-owned car beat to shit by the poors.

@@danger450 Beat to shit by the poor. Huh. So what you saying poor people buy this car? The people who buy this car new are the people who have money and get tired of it after a year or two.

@@NoNegotiations Rich people sure as shit don't buy this.
