2024 Mercedes-AMG GLA35 | MotorWeek Road Test

[@randybiondi3218]

It's so cool to see and hear John Davis after all this time.

[@omidnamin9004]

Mercedes strategy... put AMG badge on everything!!!!!

[@Jason-ml3vs]

Is anyone else tired of hearing $60,000 cars referred to as, “budget.”?

[@basshead.]

Stop working at McDonald's and you can afford nice things too lol.

[@vetteluvnh]

​@basshead. yeah, because a base Mercedes is a wise way to tie up $60k instead actually investing it, nomatter what your income is. Nope. I'd much rather buy a $20k econo box & invest the other $40k.

[@basshead.]

@@vetteluvnh Just get a nice used Toyota or Lexus for $20k.

[@Jason-ml3vs]

@@basshead. Bless your heart.

[@minipandora22]

Nothing is “budget” thanks to J.Biden, he is absolutely the devil

[@chadmark88]

It's amazing to me that this SUV with it's 4 cylinder engine gets almost the identical 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile times as my 1967 427 - 400 Corvette did. ( actually, it's a little QUICKER !!! - same top speed, though ) The Corvette had a lot better "BARK", though )

[@herbiehusker1889]

It's almost like there's been 50+ years of technological advancement

[@donwilber1628]

Faster than my '85 Vette too...by a long shot. The '85 was tested at 6 sec 0-60, and 15 sec quarter. That said, I got to drive it on the Autobahn at 155mph, and back then nothing much could keep up.

[@bvlog4857]

Check out the 45! I own and and it’s a four banger that is insane.

[@KRAMITDFROG]

This is probably the best argument I've seen for a Golf R.

[@Youcallthesebagels_]

This blows the golf r out of the water for quality and design. Golf is an econo box

[@therealjayseh]

VWs are a POS. No comparison to Mercedes-Benz whatsoever

[@paul5683]

People turn their heads when they see this go by, the R is just another vw to most people.

[@sjhudon386]

​@@Youcallthesebagels_This is also an econobox. Fwd chassis

[@Hanson032]

I haven't driven any of them but from the POV vids I've seen, this car looks more..."fun" than the Golf R, if that makes any sense just from looks lol. Though, definitely not 20-30k more fun lmao

[@noseefood1943]

Too many models confusing… GLA, GLC, GLB, GLE, GLS, G, EQ, EQS, EQB, EQE, etc.

[@TrailBlazerSS502]

The EQs, I never liked.

[@jermainec2462]

AMG TLC ABC BBL 35 45 55 65 ... mercedes just needs to sit down somewhere 😂😂😂

[@pokerfred68]

With options, like a steering wheel and gas pedal…prob closer to 70k.

[@kdomster9141]

Wow , would take 34K CX30 turbo iAWD that does 5.4 sec to 60 on Shell 93 at sea level and cost is half of that AMG

[@soggytom]

Yes, but will it still rattle out your fillings like the 1st-gen GLA35/45?

[@tman9517]

Why not test a 45?

[@aceaceaceaceace]

What happened to sedans?

[@popcornfps]

Gla45?! Where are you??

[@g-forcepcrepair4347]

pioneer is someone who sees potential, an innovator who is willing to try new things- that John Davis the Father of car reviews !!!

[@solarflare1008]

13.5 1/4 mile impressive…

[@christis1975a]

Nice video .Nice beautiful bens . I love it 😻. Small suv it's just perfect for me .As for the price ok it's a Mercedes Amg not expected to be cheap .

[@paul5683]

I'm glad they got rid of the Dct and went with a real automatic transmission.

[@flomoloko360]

A turbo four SUV for $60K. Guess Mercedes wants to keep inflation going a bit longer.

[@HOTPLATEGAMING]

If you add whatever available options for it~ it will be around $71K 😂

[@jamesmay8434]

Plain Jane styling

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

So 60k now is a budget minded buy!? Yikes 😱 I guess it sucks to be a poor sap like me!

[@Vrgyn]

this video is from 2024. why does it looks super old ?

[@TheSpitzy24]

Where's the braking test? I can't be the only one who noticed it was absent, right?

[@TrailBlazerSS502]

Cost no object, right? Just bring it!

[@minipandora22]

Cute and fast 💨

[@eddieg6436]

Mercedes has unfortunately watered down the AMG brand due to greed.

[@TheRasta4ri]

motor is weak $60,000 four cylinders turbo 2.0 liter no matter how fast it won't last

[@TheHoth1]

Acura Integra type s is like oh shit;)

[@sjhudon386]

I wish they made an awd dct Integra.

[@steem6703]

ya im sure a manual transmission low to the ground FWD pretend sports car is in the same competition as a high center of gravity fat lifted pretend performance CUV

[@DarthWaffle.]

Overpriced garbage built in Alabama, nuff said

[@herbiehusker1889]

If it was built in Germany it was still be garbage

[@HOTPLATEGAMING]

Actually the GLA is built in Germany. 👁️👄👁️

[@shungitelover]

It's hilarious that they axed the 45 for the NA Market and just added its premium options for the 35. No one will be buying this. The 45 S in other regions has 421HP/368 torque compared to the 35's measly 302/295

[@yzoooon]

302 hp is more than enough.

[@jamesm654]

Meh, any EV can outrun this

[@DP-jaja]

Good God……am I the only one really annoyed with Jonathan’s voiceovers? I used to like him but it’s just unbearable now. I might be in the minority 🤷🏻‍♂️ If you think I’m wrong just watch an intro by him and compare it to another automotive journalist’s voiceover intro! Like I said….I’m probably the a$$hole…..but I’ll stick with my assertions that Davis is intolerable at best. Who the f@!? actually talks like that?!?!

[@gs8259]

How is Mercedes longterm reliability? I would imagine if you just took care of it, and proper serviced it, it would last forever.

[@sjhudon386]

300hp 2.0 turbos usually don't last forever

[@bvlog4857]

@@sjhudon386😭 my 45 makes 382 and just hit 60K miles. service and maintenance baby!

[@yzoooon]

Proper service and not over usage will go a long way
