My wife and I just got this type of vehicle except in silver with no spoiler and carbon fiber accents. We love it. You will not find a better compact SUV. BTW, this vehicle is small - like Ford Focus small.
I have test driven one of these. I had a 2013 Mazda Speed3 for a little over a year,traded it for a CX-5 and did not like it. So I did a couple of drives in the GLA45 and fell for it the moment I saw a Mini Cooper that had been following me closely shrink in the distance very very fast. For 90 percent of drivers with no fear this car is a blast. Grips like crazy, is not noticeably rolly polly as I went through some nice twisties. I would have been in big trouble in the CX-5, and like off the road. It has paddle shifters and nearly 100 hp more than the Speed3 and if you have ever driven a Speed3 you know about the torque steer horrors. I didn't notice any torque steer in the GLA45 even with such power. I really driving this car. The sound is totally obnoxious and so appealing. Lots of fun.
I've been waiting for a review on the GLA45!! Would like to request a review on the new Ford F150 V6 with ecoboost. And possible test drive to see how much lighter it feels with the new aluminum body revamp! Thanks for your great videos!!
deathcrashtest64 Don't know what you have been driving, but I personally had problems with overheating and steering wheel fluid box (don't know exact name of the part) getting leaked, 2010 Crown Vic and 2012 Escape as well as Transit and Cmax. I'm not saying it is a terrible car, and it's true when they say if you take care of it, it will last you long, but Ford being a cheaper car and putting for a comparison with higher priced brand vehicles is just not right. Price is low, therefore parts/components are cheaper, overall lifespan and quality is not going to be the same no matter what. Once Ford passes certain amount of mileage, it won't feel same when driving and comparing it to a Benz. Good ole American Ford is good, just not as good as Benz even when $20k less ;-)
Honestly I see no point in going for a CLA or GLA. A well equipped C Class would be far better and it actually represents what MB does very well and that is make a solid feeling, well built, nice riding/handling and luxurious car/SUV. I test drove a CLA 250 and it had a harsh ride and wasn't all that quiet and the handling was sharp but not thrilling not to mention the car looked weird at certain angles. I'd easily upgrade from my C280 to a new C300/C400 but not one of these.
Unless you're comparing the AMG models to the C300, your theory makes no sense. The normal CLA is about $10k less than a C Class, that's a serious amount of money. The CLA is also considerably less luxurious than the new C Class so obviously the C Class is going to be nicer. According to your theory going for a C Class also makes no sense because you could go for an E Class, so on and so forth.
yoyoluc Way to exaggerate. I was simply saying that the CLA and GLA don't seem represent what makes an MB an MB. At the minimum the C Class does what an MB should do in terms of feel and ride. An E Class is nicer than a C Class but really for most a C Class is all the MB one would need. I gave no theory, I simply said the CLA and GLA don't feel like a true MB especially after driving the CLA 250.
Yeah, these cars are beginning to show up on nyc roads and I can't believe how much smaller they actually are in person. For this price there are much better options. Benz used to make real cars, now all they want to do is sell you those front wheel drive 4 cylinder lawnmowers (GLA, CLA, A-class in Europe) wrapped in leather and call it premium. Thanks, but no thanks.
There's one of these (black on black) for sale in my area, as my daily driver is getting long in the tooth, I'm tempted to replace it with one of these. I've seen reports that it's solid for a daily driver of all weather while still being sporty enough for spirited driving.
So when you go out to do one of these videos, do these places not let you drive the car? I would find it more informative if they let you drive it, and you give use your feedback on it.
MrGovenator1 I don't always have the chance to drive them, it's been that way since I started this channel so long time subscribers are well aware of this. I have substantially more opportunities today than I used to, but still not all of them. Keep in mind many of these cars are for sale and new, therefore not always the best candidates for road tests, depends on the place and opportunity. A vehicle like this would be better driven on the open roads and not in the middle of downtown fort lauderdale, that's why demos or loaners are easier to do. It also depends on the location, if there's plenty of good roads near, it's much more feasible.
Hey SaabKyle, my first car will be a 1975 Triumph Spitfire, can you do a walkaround of one so i know what it looks like and how to fix what needs fixing?
looks like something that would be in a Subaru lineup, its like a tall 4 door sti, kind of like the creation of a forester sti In my imagination, never the less Benz pulled it off greatly
***** , The SL 65 ///AMG was one of my favorite cars in Need for speed most wanted 2012. That is one of the realistic looking need for speeds I've played. I haven't gotten Rivals yet. Great review.
Amir Esmail We talking about 2012 not 2005 right. And if you still have Most wanted, Do the update, Those police in the very first heat (Ford Crown Victoria P71's) Are Faster, And they will Take you down in the first heat rather than just chase you.
Hey, I enjoy watching your videos. You give well in depth reviews about the vehicles. If possible. May I request that you do an in depth review of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf VII R, manual shift. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
EMMHMMS I actually liked the wing, makes it look like a rally car. They offer an aerodynamics package that even has more stuff on the lower cladding. I put pictures towards the end of the walk around segment.
+Saabkyle04 may i have your attention?yeah ijust wanna know how much horsepower in this car?iam sorry if my english bad im from saudiarabia and tell me how is my english and help me if you free thanks👍
In my opinion I don't really care for Mercedes "lets jus stick an iPad on the dash and be done with it" approach on there interiors. It looks unfinished and quite tacky..almost like an after thought.
Totally agree with you. It looks like something done out of despair "shit man, we forgot to put a display in all of our cars. Aight, let's just stick that pad to the dashboard". Audi's solution with the sliding display is very smooth for example
Damn if this thing was drop just and inch or two it would look fing amazing! Would almost look like a hot hatch instead of a sporty crossover. Murica needs more hot hatches, the Mazdaspeed3,GTI, Golf R, ST, ill just throw in the veloster turbo are just not enough.
Can you review and test drive a 2015 Ford F-350 super duty with the 6.7 powerstroke engine and 8 ft bed tailgate step, please? because I am thinking of buying one when I am in my 20s.
Yes its.... nice. It would be better if BMW would made a Suv like this. For example a X1 M. But the gla 45 amg looks nice from the front. I think a M Version of the new X1 would look much more sportive and cooler but anyway the MB is nice.
Would you plz do the 2015 m5? This car is kinda cool, but that "ipad" working as the navigator is simply terrible and looks cheap, despite the fact that this car is extremely expensive for what you get.
I think I would consider the golf R if it was me. Much more higher quality materials to me. There is just a lot of hard plastics in the GLA which is unacceptable for a 50k+ car.
+Anthony Detmer - It's a bright light on the back of the car so other drivers don't smash into you because they didn't think to slow down when they can't see 5 feet in front of them in thick fog
My wife and I just got this type of vehicle except in silver with no spoiler and carbon fiber accents. We love it. You will not find a better compact SUV. BTW, this vehicle is small - like Ford Focus small.
This thing sounds pretty sweet for a 4 cylinder.
I have a white version with black rims and personal think it is a beautiful car witch sound egzactly like this
I have test driven one of these. I had a 2013 Mazda Speed3 for a little over a year,traded it for a CX-5 and did not like it.

This is a really nice looking car. Saw one earlier this week.
I can see that this one doesn't have the AMG Sports Exhaust. Still sounds very decent!
I love this AMG, if only it weren't so damn expensive!
My 23 pretty much fully loaded, was 72k lol. Crazy it went up almost 20k.
My dad bought this car just yesterday to match our gts
Kyle 2015 Escalade Platinum pls
OMG YESS
Jets613 shhh
Great video. I bought one and I love it
Ur shoes has a nice looking saabkyle, grats!!!
Well, This video helped my Father and i decide if we should be buying one of these, Thanks for your help! :)
S-Class Coupe is my favorite Mercedes... Nothing can top it in my opinion. :)
1- love the Chanel
2- make a review of Toyota Land Cruiser OR tundra please
Thanks
Very nice compact vehicle. Nice job Mercedes I want one
Awesome Video again Kyle.
I hope you are feeling better ☺
as always, you did a great movie too :)
I've been waiting for a review on the GLA45!! Would like to request a review on the new Ford F150 V6 with ecoboost. And possible test drive to see how much lighter it feels with the new aluminum body revamp! Thanks for your great videos!!
Probably would buy this because of performance and potholes.
The Ford Focus S/T is pretty much the same thing just for $20k less.
Never compare Ford to the MB, as Ford is not as reliable as MB. I know it from my personal experience.
tjkbacha Focus ST is European its very reliable.
deathcrashtest64 cant say untill 10 plus years pass
MelvinLopez Well the Ford Focus's that are 10 or so years old now seem to be pretty smooth I hear no major faults with the car at all.
deathcrashtest64 Don't know what you have been driving, but I personally had problems with overheating and steering wheel fluid box (don't know exact name of the part) getting leaked, 2010 Crown Vic and 2012 Escape as well as Transit and Cmax.

Coolest hatch ever

Who's a cute little Mercedes? You are! You are!
Dam Mercedes stepped it up. Sexy ass car
Just put an order in for a GLA 250. Would love to see you review that version!
as always great review Kyle, thanks
Great write up. Really like this, except for the ridiculous rear wing, thank god it's an option.
did you catch a cold? You sound different haha
good review.
From concept to concrete !
So when you go out to do one of these videos, do these places not let you drive the car? I would find it more informative if they let you drive it, and you give use your feedback on it.
He's said in the past in his comments that it's not possible cuz a lot of those cars are for sale not demos

***** Good to know, thanks.
MrGovenator1 You're welcome!
NICE 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG 4Matic Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review
AMAZING VIDEO BRO :)
Hey SaabKyle, my first car will be a 1975 Triumph Spitfire, can you do a walkaround of one so i know what it looks like and how to fix what needs fixing?
You should try to review the new Mercedes C400
looks like something that would be in a Subaru lineup, its like a tall 4 door sti, kind of like the creation of a forester sti In my imagination, never the less Benz pulled it off greatly
Hey broh! Saab Sonett Broh!
Awesome huge fan of Benz! best cars for me...
We want real AMG like SL65
Bab mukja Well, you will get it, have a 2015 SL65 coming within the next week!
***** , The SL 65 ///AMG was one of my favorite cars in Need for speed most wanted 2012. That is one of the realistic looking need for speeds I've played. I haven't gotten Rivals yet. Great review.
Tacarius Wills rivals is kinda boring most wanted was epic
Amir Esmail We talking about 2012 not 2005 right. And if you still have Most wanted, Do the update, Those police in the very first heat (Ford Crown Victoria P71's) Are Faster, And they will Take you down in the first heat rather than just chase you.
Tacarius Wills yeah the 2012 I haven't updated it coz I got the ps4
What a fantastic car!
Paying 45'000$ and getting round air vents is quite depressing, isn't it?
Towe96 As opposed to what? Square? That's the common Mercedes design language, from this to the S65. They're quite nice and made of aluminum.
Ferrari and pagani use round air vents... So yeah..
Antoine Marty Ferrari's mad and Pagani's cars are really quite fugly, to be honest.
Besides, I'm not sure I'd want 360 hp from only 2 liters...
Towe96 I can't tell if you're trolling.
Antoine Marty or just 19
Hey, I enjoy watching your videos. You give well in depth reviews about the vehicles. If possible. May I request that you do an in depth review of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf VII R, manual shift. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
Do you like the wing?
I would remove it.
EMMHMMS I actually liked the wing, makes it look like a rally car. They offer an aerodynamics package that even has more stuff on the lower cladding. I put pictures towards the end of the walk around segment.

may i have your attention?yeah ijust wanna know how much horsepower in this car?iam sorry if my english bad im from saudiarabia and tell me how is my english and help me if you free thanks👍
the last 3 cars have been mercs!!!! niceee
That's sick!
thank you man you are doing good
So is this a hatch or a suv..... And should I wait for the a45 in 2018
Why are you in Fort Lauderdale? You should do a quick start up of your rental car!
i think he showed his rental car in his in the driver seat video.
In my opinion I don't really care for Mercedes "lets jus stick an iPad on the dash and be done with it" approach on there interiors. It looks unfinished and quite tacky..almost like an after thought.
Totally agree with you. It looks like something done out of despair "shit man, we forgot to put a display in all of our cars. Aight, let's just stick that pad to the dashboard". Audi's solution with the sliding display is very smooth for example
I also prefer jaguars approach to the one that disappears into the dash and pops up when u start the car
Always engage the parking brake! It's dangerous when you leave it release.
Still a nice SUV (:
Hey Kyle love the reviews! Just wondering can you do some of the newer ford products like the '15 expedition and the '15 f150? Thanks!
Hi kyle great review any chance of a ferrari california t in the future
Hi Kyle! Any chance that you might be able to do a review of the 98-06 Volvo S80?
can you please do a in depth review of the new 2015 Scion FR-S? thanks! :) bye the way i love your videos
Is this like a crossover version of the CLA?
Damn if this thing was drop just and inch or two it would look fing amazing! Would almost look like a hot hatch instead of a sporty crossover. Murica needs more hot hatches, the Mazdaspeed3,GTI, Golf R, ST, ill just throw in the veloster turbo are just not enough.
Forgot Volvo c30 and mini JCWs
The car you're looking for is the A45 AMG, which the GLA is based on. It is a much better looking car, but Mercedes is not going to bring it over.
Amen to that
TVinmyEye we need the new a45 amg in america
Your reviews are good but you never say anything negative about the cars.
Can you review and test drive a 2015 Ford F-350 super duty with the 6.7 powerstroke engine and 8 ft bed tailgate step, please? because I am thinking of buying one when I am in my 20s.
Soccer mom can get kids to practice fast lol
Yes its.... nice. It would be better if BMW would made a Suv like this. For example a X1 M. But the gla 45 amg looks nice from the front. I think a M Version of the new X1 would look much more sportive and cooler but anyway the MB is nice.
***** yah
The whole Mercedes line-up looks the same now, inside and outside.
Would you plz do the 2015 m5? This car is kinda cool, but that "ipad" working as the navigator is simply terrible and looks cheap, despite the fact that this car is extremely expensive for what you get.
Thats really nice benz
Also please show where the parking brake is, thx! :)
The big iPAD in the middle looks so bad in my opinion....
Big? Lol
Kyle please do a review of a 2014/15 ram 1500
Please record the mercedes c class 2015
Is this red GLA 45 with stock exhaust or sport one ?
You should do the BMW X1
Hey Kyle! Could you review the jaguar x type please? Preferably 2002-2003 please??
My uncle has one of them here in the UK
I want this so bad but I think I'll have to settle for the golf r ... :(
I think I would consider the golf R if it was me. Much more higher quality materials to me. There is just a lot of hard plastics in the GLA which is unacceptable for a 50k+ car.
2015 is 6 years old ??
I would buy this so fast if it had a 5 cylinder or a v8
you sound funny kyle :) i hope you're ok ... take care
thanx for the review
Beautiful.
How about the new CLS facelift ? :P
Kyle,you still driving the genesis and what kind of cars are you driving now
he drives a dodge charger
What other colors does it come in?
fuck how it looks (its actually not bad at all by the way) and its a $48,000 AMG I'd pay that in a heartbeat just to have amg on the back.
hey Kyle how about the 2015 Cayenne please.
Can you do a review of the new MB CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake (when its out) ?
he probably won't be able to since it won't come to the US.
Nice car!
19:09 - here is the inscription?
this is the gla45 shooting brake?
looks better than X6/x6M
Review to the New C-class please
Why don't you ever do any review of opel's or how you call it in america vaxhualls ?
Hey Kyle any chance of doing the A45?
Can you do a review on the srt hell cat?
Damn, talk about a hot hatch.
can you please review the 2014 or 2015 BMW X3 28i or 35i M-Sport DHP thanks
Kyle please review the 2015 wrx sti!
Kyle please review an evo
everything is good about this car expect how it sounds
Would you compare this to an audi q3
can u make a review of an e350 plz
I hear you say it every once in a while but what are rear fog lamps
+Anthony Detmer - It's a bright light on the back of the car so other drivers don't smash into you because they didn't think to slow down when they can't see 5 feet in front of them in thick fog
