Welcome to the forum! Glad to have you here.

Have you spotted any other GLA around so far?


Also what other vehicles were you considering before getting the GLA?

Thank you!

Today there are some GLAs around although couple of months ago it was really hard to spot one.
The reason was economical crisis because of our national currency valuation. Mercedes made huge discounts on other models to keep sales but they didnt lower the prices of A-class and GLA. Now, i guess they have changed policy and i can notice much more GLAs around.

GLA wasn't my first choice, i confess. I really wanted Volvo V40 CrossCountry but i realised there is no official dealer of Volvo in Kazakhstan. I really wanted an Evoque then, but i realised it was too much expensive and there was some personal antipathy with the only LR dealer around.
Only then i met GLA. I wasn't impressed with stock car but AMG line version attracted me a lot. I found one available immidiately and price was right. Now i regard it as perfect for me
