I love mine. With a tune and premium tires, it's amazing.

Normally, I don't watch reviews of luxury nameplates - just not interested in expensive overpriced cars that I would never buy - but Tom's reviews make the interesting and enjoyable. Keep up the good work.

You're welcome, Tom! Actually thank YOU for another entertaining review. If I get you right, the best GLA would be a 2WD CX-5 or CRV ;) Although CX-5s are a bit noisy at speed...

you know what Scotty Kilmer says about Mercedes Benz... it's a hole where you can throw your money. my last car was a 190E (i put so much money in it, sold it for the price of brakes and tires) i currently have a smart, it doesn't have the same appetite on my wallet as the 190E.

Hey Tom, how's the Apple Watch? I know you're a car reviewer but, since you have this channel, why not reviewing for us this new thingie that draws so much attention?

Ioanides001 I won't be doing a video review on the watch. Here's the short take- I needed a good watch for running and AW does a great job at that. I stream Bluetooth music from it, it tracks my heart rate and distance without bringing my phone along. As for other features, I miss a lot fewer time critical texts, emails, and phone calls since the alerts on the watch get my attention, especially when I'm shooting a car and have left the phone inside the car. Finally, when I use navigation on the phone, I get the prompts on the watch which is much safer. Battery life is good, generally after a full day of use (and streaming music for an hour) I have 40% left. There's no real killer app yet, though so this is something I could live without. It's a luxury not a necessity.

Driven Car Reviews thanks for the review notes. Looks like it makes you check your ip less often as you're more aware of relevant events... Luxury or not, it does something right, it's not just a pretty bling. I'm curious how you'd feel without the AW for a couple of days, now that you're used to it.

A Mercedes, BMW, Audi, etc don't mean ( excuse my French) shit when you get the base model. You're not fooling anyone but yourself with cheap interior, slow engine, halogens etc, why so you can say you drive a luxury vehicle. Absolutely hate when I see BASE MODEL luxury vehicles, why bother. You're better off spending that money towards a less expensive vehicle and optioning it up. Luxury vehicles don't have that same wow affect without the extra options, it's sad that the person next to you with the optioned up Kia, Hyundai, Honda, Jeep etc has better interior than you do on your base luxury vehicle. P.S. Anyone else catch the apple watch at 1:29 😑😒

MrLuddylud i have an 8 year old MB smart base (pure), the roof doesn't glaze like the passion, the manual windows never fail, and for $400 i added a cruise control that MB didn't see fit to option until this year.

MrLuddylud even on a base model you still get very good sound deadening and very comfortable suspension. It will feel much better than non-premium cars. With Mercedes, you also get more than decent base sound system - most of the people (who like music) don't need more than that. So yeah, it's totally worth it to buy basic models if you're going for the bang for buck.

mr bad example not to disregard a smart car but I do not feel it is in the same category. Yes it has "Mercedes DNA" but doesn't perform, look, or even cost the same. Smart car is different category, you buy/lease a mercedes for the quality, safety, and performance. You get a smart car because its practical in several ways, none having to do with quality or performance.

Ioanides001 I really have to disagree, I give you comfortable suspension but you can't tell me that the cheap looking plastic and smaller Ipad mini command center, along with hallowed out buttons on the dash looks better than lets say a top of the line Hyundai Genesis, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler 300 Infiniti, maybe even Acura etc. All for what so you can look at the Tri Star logo, 4 rings, or blue and white quadrants?!? True music lovers will not be satisfied with the "base" sound system, Harman Kardon, Mark Levinson, B & O, Bose, etc. The bang for your buck is better spent on a non luxury vehicle and getting more options. A Mercedes isn't a mercedes without the sport suspension, finer details, appearance of LED tail lights and jewel head lights, better engine, sport contouring seats, panoramic roof, massage seats the list goes on, these are the fine touches of a luxury vehicle. Same goes for all the other Germans, even BMW who will give you fake pleather seats and ugly rims that scream I HAVE THE BASE MODEL. You're only fooling yourself. Everyone has their own opinion so I can be totally wrong, but in my opinion if you're going to go Luxury, go all the way. There's a reason why the CLA & the GLA start so cheap but can easily climb upwards of $50,000.

MrLuddylud The reason for the very expensive options is that talented marketing people work very hard to convince you, the 'discerning few', of the value of these bits. For me, the best option is the sensible choice, based on intrinsic values rather than on public opinion and bragging rights. And truth is that going for the items that will tell the ppl you're the spendy type, will ruin the ride and kill the economy. And you still get the crappy tablet on the dashboard...

Would the Subaru Crosstrek be a contender to add to the list? I like all what the Subaru has, but this Mercedes raises the bar.
