We ordered a GLA 250 on my birthday and, 2 months later on Dec. 1, picked it up. I've had it for about a month. I spend hours just staring at it. I love the lines. What a beautiful ride.
There are, of course, some things that I find less than perfect. For example: I selected a white one. I wish it was whiter. When the car is parked near snow, the car looks almost downright greenish.
I don't like the initial lag when you take off from a stop. I have it on Comfort mode and I always turn off the automatic engine shut down feature, but there is still a lag. It's quite jarring. At first, I thought there was something wrong with the car. Apparently, they all do this. I'm wondering if manual mode will get rid of this lag.
Many times I'm in 7th gear, and I wish I could downshift to a lower one. I'm barely tacking 1000 and it's in 7th! Can this be reprogrammed?
I hear random double-beeps sometimes and I have no idea what my car is trying to tell me. Heard it today. There were no other cars around. There were no stationary obstacles around, either. Is the car just saying Hello to me?
I do love my GLA. It just has some quirks I'm going to have to get used to.
