I was driving down the road yesterday and saw a Mercedes GLA250 in front of me.
Tried to upload the pics but they didn't work for some reason so I decided to find some good pics and info online.
I like the looks, what do you all think, make a vote if you feel like it!
One of my wife's friends has one and she loves it. I've been a passenger in hers but not driven it, and it's actually perfectly serviceable. Checks the right boxes for our friend, it looks pretty good, it's not too big and not too small, it rides well enough and it has the three pointed star on the grille. The last point is the one I think she likes best.
Material-quality aside, I have to say I like the instrument panel. Can't beat two simple, round, clearly-marked, easy-to-read speedo and tach. ....although I generally prefer the speedo to be marked in 10-MPH spacing intervals instead of 20 MPH.

It’s a screen with several different display modes
lol, knew that was coming.
yup, it's no s-class. at less than half the price, how could it be?

the interior is nice, was in one not too long ago. is it a luxury flagship? no. as for materials vs cost, it's probably a bit more expensive than a rav4 but i like the mb interior a lot better.
coincidentally with mercedes the cheaper the model is, the worse value it is haha
with the top models you pay a lot but get a lot, many times an experience that can't be had with any other brand regardless of cost... with the entry models (like this) you're largely just paying for the 3 pointed star

Exactly, buying high end German is great value...and is an unmatched experience, mid and low tier very much no. Much better off buying a better car like a RAV4

Yes, to keep it from deteriorating while sitting, I have been driving a RAV-4 off-and-on now for my neighbor while she is out out of town for three months....she trusted the key with me. Drivetrain like a rock..typical Toyota quality there, but the interior is one of the cheapest I've seen.....dime-store junk.

My dad's RAV4 is like that.
Super thin and cheap materials.
But, I'm guessing itay be expected on entry level car.
Mercedes GLA250, Pass or Fail, taking votes...
I'd say right on the borderline.....a better attempt than the last GLA, but IMO not quite a real Mercedes.
