Mercedes-AMG GLA45 - Adult Toys

[@dwnshft]

Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! Would you take a GLA45 or save half the money and get a Focus RS?

[@Jumpin4Greens]

I love mine and I rarely see it on the road.

[@dwnshft]

it's kinda special being the only one on the road im sure

[@leyi25shen]

Have had this car for almost 6 months, biggest frustration is the small 13 gallon tank... With sport+ manual mode almost everyday I get 15-16 mpg at best with a range of less than 200 miles lol

[@dwnshft]

That’s a frustrating bit

[@PeterSothern]

You had any problems?

[@leyi25shen]

@@PeterSothern I have a MY21… Only problem is the transmission, sometimes it would downshift two gears even though I only pressed it once

[@hjklo222]

Have not had any MAJOR problems with my 22. ​35k miles. Small issue with the turning indicator that was likely due to me putting my masks there but was fixed under warranty. @@PeterSothern

Just got one--traded a kona N for it--22 GLA with this package.Im at 20 mpg in urban driving--little stop and go but shorter mileage.Put it in comfort mode and simply wait for the car in front to go a bit--dct's like to be driven brisk.In comfort mode this can stomp most that pull up next to you and its midrange--top end is on par with NA v8 cars.I luv mine and I have YT videos on previous cars I have raced and plan on taking this to public drag or the silver state classic.New Type R--acura tlx-type S--stingers--G70s--Golf R--chargers--mustang 5.0 are all over 50k now--bought this for way less used and it will stomp the cars I just mentioned.

I have the GLA45S and loooooovvvvvvveeeeee it!

[@theday2learn]

I was looking to get into a 2023 Golf R, saw MSRP at 43-45k thought sweet thats doable, after dealer markup the Golf R was going for 60K, I ended up going with a 2021 MB GLA 45 AMG with 7k miles for 45k...much nicer interior even if you can tune a Golf R to be what this MB is, 60k for a golf R is not worth it at all

[@potatochobit]

But does it have the carbon rear wing?

[@glh_somemore]

I did exactly the same thing. Sold 2016 Golf R to Carvana and bought a CPO 2022 GLA45 with 18k miles for same money as new Golf R. GLA45 is only 6 inches longer than Golf but in a different league with performance and amenities.

[@khronin]

I just got one after trading a kona n on a 22 GLA 45 amg--this thing hits way harder then any 4 cyl I have had.Its cold rt now and this is probably pushing 400 hp and MB is known to deflate their HP for insurance reasons.I am at 21 mpg and hit a 60 according to the computer at 4.1 in comfort mode.I also powerbraked it instead os the sport plus mode so I am pretty sure it weill get under 4 sec

[@skylervanderford6600]

It’s plastic outside to keep paint from scraping from road debris.

[@TheCarKrazeOfficial]

Adult toys lol 😏

[@potatochobit]

Its cute how you think a v6 is a true amg motor. I like the gla 45 though since 2016 but option prices are out of hand, I have a newish mini Cooper S still.

[@GMSpada]

hot hatch.. with $$ bragging rights.. rights?

[@dnice362]

No way this 4cylinder is 80k you guys are joking with us or lying

[@Stat1c_M]

Definitely not 80k, it’s like 67k fully loaded

[@SmokinBuddha]

@@Stat1c_M A loaded 2023 GLA 45 cost $76,290 before taxes.

[@mikehawk120]

@@SmokinBuddha I can concur, my 23 GLA45 was 73,xxx, and it didn’t have a few things.

[@SmokinBuddha]

@@mikehawk120 - I'm waiting for my GLA 45 AMG from Germany. My rep asked me if I rather have the 2024 model? I said YES!!

[@mikehawk120]

@@SmokinBuddha nice! I was about to order one, but my dealer had one that was about 90 percent what I wanted. I didn’t want the magno grey paint, and I wanted vented seats. So really just one option away, so I took it. I actually was hoping the GLB45 was put, I really dig that body style, I just don’t want the cheaper 35 engine. Love my GLA though, almost past the break in period now.
