Hello all,
I test drove a Macan Turbo Friday morning and then experienced extreme sticker shock. After seeing some discussion on the Porsche forums about the GLA45 AMG, I decided to try one out. Good Gawd! What has Mercedes done? This car is beyond incredible. I now know why this car was rated above the Macan Turbo (essentially identical performance figures to the GLA) and the Macan was sent off to be the soccer mom's ride du jour. Also known as the car that Porsche would create if it were to make Barbie's dream ride.
Don't get me wrong, the MT is a great car, but it does not have the fun factor of the GLA nor the almost $30K price differential. My main gripe with the GLA is the 1000 mile break-in on the engine--I am dying to let her rip. While tooling around at normal speeds, I've been discovering all the things MB put on this car--mind boggling!
