Question to the East Coast members facing the big blizzard. If you manage to move around and use your GLA, please share the experiences gained. How did GLA fare the extreme snowstorm conditions? Stay dry and be safe.
Quote of the week!4WD cannot fix stupid.
Outstanding! Thank you for the try and great news. Stay warm and safe.I took my GLA45 out for a spin in the middle of the storm. There was between 2 to 10 inches of snow on the road depending on where I was. It performed very well as I expected. Like any 4WD car it can maneuver much better then a 2WD but one still has to drive safe. 4WD cannot fix stupid.
I was very pleased over all.
Can't comment on this storm since I got the **** out of dodge, but I had my GLA 4matic during last year's snow fiasco in Boston and it performed very well. The best example I have is pulling out of my parking space with a foot high berm of snow built up in front from the plow and blowing right through it.Question to the East Coast members facing the big blizzard.

Great, certainly confirms the GLA's "Swiss knife" character.Can't comment on this storm since I got the **** out of dodge, but I had my GLA 4matic during last year's snow fiasco in Boston and it performed very well.

Excellent news, keep us posted in 4 MATIC winter accomplishments.I took my GLA out for a little winter test, few corners witn 40-50km/h, 4Matic makes it soo easy to drive, easily to get out of the understeer or oversteer, so far I was driving only with FWD cars, so Im really impressed how this 4Matic works, nice!
I had heard that you weren't supposed to use the off-road mode in the snow.Gla250 4Matic from boston here, I pulled out from 4-5 inches of snow yesterday with the off-road mode, works like a charm!
This is from page 199 of the 2016 digital USA GLA owners manual:I had heard that you weren't supposed to use the off-road mode in the snow.
Despite what the manual says I found it to drive much better in the snow after selecting the off-road program. 5 inches of snow that is.This is from page 199 of the 2016 digital USA GLA owners manual:
Do not use the off-road program on roads that
are snow-covered or icy
