2015 GLA 45 AMG… Fun little car. 🙂 Practical: AWD and fits a golf bag but fun to toss around. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37378&d=1519679516](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37378&d=1519679516) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37377&d=1519679490](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37377&d=1519679490) ---

I am always trolling the Toy Barn website and saw this car a couple weeks ago. I knew nothing about it but watched some reviews and was surprised how great the reviews were. AMG really built a nice car that is miles ahead of the CLA brother. It is the most powerful 4 cylinder ever in a production car and the suspension is upgraded, not just the shocks and springs. It was produced to compete with the other “hot hatches” but cost much more. So I bought a used one for less money and got the refinement and options of a higher priced car. It really is a ton of fun but is not brutal like my old Evo. It also is way more practical and cheaper than my Carerra S was. With a simple tune it is said it can do 60mph in about 3 seconds!!! First impressions are great so far but this is my first Merc ownership. Time will tell how good it really is. 🙂 - - - Updated - - - It doesn’t have the giant wing option or Recaro seats or the carbon fiber dash kit but I really don’t care at this point in my life. 🙂 It has lane assist and rear back up camera and Navi, power hatch, huge sunroof, power seats, etc. My Evo did not even have cruise control. lol - - - Updated - - - Oh yeah! It has launch mode and shift lights. 😃 - - - Updated - - - The dual Klutch is no where near Porsche fast and the AWD is not quite QUATTRO but it is still pretty good. ---

Yeah, Chris. He is a good guy. It sounds about 4/8ths as good as the RS7. 😉 It does pop between gears in sport mode which sounds neat. Thanks! The more I drive it the more I like it. Just driving highways on the way home was not too much fun. Screaming up and down Crump Road near KB is where it gets fun. 🙂 ---

It really is a greatly held secret. I remember when they came out and everyone was like, “Yeah but, I can buy a hot hatch like a Subaru, VW or Mitsubishi for so much cheaper.” The refinement and features of this car is miles ahead of those cars and now they are more affordable. Plus I don’t feel too old to be driving a Mercedes. I would feel weird still driving my Evo. 🙂 ---

These already sell used in the used STI/Golf R range and they run 12s stock. I love the idea of buying one for the wife in a couple years but being a teacher her car gets treated rough in the school parking lot. Seems like there is a new ding or bash every six months. I’d guess she commits half of them herself. Very nice pick up. Fast little hatch that most people don’t know about. ---

Just driving highways on the way home was not too much fun. Screaming up and down Crump Road near KB is where it gets fun. 🙂 I have always liked these things. I honestly didn’t know they existed for quite some time. I have been keeping my eye on CPO and low mileage ones. What are your updated impressions now that you have had the car for 2 weeks? What are they like in terms of comfort? I bet this is a hoot on Crump. I’ve been over there a few times myself lol. ---

For the money, this car is awesome. When you think about what you are getting for $35,000 or so it really is great… Of course I have had no repair bills yet. LOL It is obviously not a huge vehicle but I am 6’2" and it fits me great. I LOVED the look of my Carrera S but they look the same from the diver’s seat. 🙂 I realize it is not a Carrera but it is sooooooo much more useful and still a hoot to drive in all weather with room for ski or golf equipment. It will actually oversteer a bit too! Sure people complimented me every time I pumped gas in the Porsche but this thing hardly ever needs gas so… 😃 ---

So far so good. I have not driven it in a while because there is something rattling in the AC fan. It is probably a mouse considering every f\*\*king car I own seems to get mice in them. ☹
