I tried searching but no luck....

Anyone have a first edition GLA? What's good or bad about them? Opinions?

Please also clarify what First Edition is; release dates; etc. I just (March 2015) ordered the front wheel drive....so would it be first edition??

I guess it is actually called "Edition 1". mostly cosmetic stuff, but here are some details:

Official: Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Edition 1

I have an Edition 1.

It is one color, white, and has one interior, brown leather with fabric.
It has the bi-xenon/LED headlights, AWD, panoramic sunroof, Premium and Multimedia packages, black 19" wheels, illuminated star, Night package, and blind spot assist.

I love mine. It looks awesome and, for me, was configured just right. The only things I wish it had were adaptive cruise control and keyless go. Unfortunately, they shipped to the dealers as is and you can't order one. My dealer had to find one at another dealer.

I have an opportunity to get one, but wondered if The Community feels good or bad about it. Looks great to me!

Like I said I really like mine. I was looking at the A3, 325 and the 2015 CLA to replace my FWD 2014 CLA. I saw a GLA Edition 1 and fell in love.

No, the Edition 1 was a specific package that was a limited production run. Might have been just 250 in the US (but don't quote me on that.) it was supposed to showcase many of the things the GLA had to offer.

Ah, a Limited Edition kind of thing. Have you read any reviews on the front wheel drive?

No, but the CLA I traded was FWD. The FWD was fine, not a lot of torque steer, but I just wanted AWD for the harsh New England winters.
