Great information as usual

[@GlennsCarCollection]

thanks

[@verendaeasterwood4984]

I just bought mine a week ago, I'm loving it, Im still learning where everything is , and getting use to it, it is fun the best car I ever had, also thinking about getting the sos, mbrace Iv took it on the highway and just all I gotta say is, I let my hair down. THANK FOR YOUR VIDEO IS WAS HELPFUL!

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Your welcome. Enjoy it. Check out my 18 month review as well

[@ZaidanZainuddin]

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Thank you. check out my 18 month ownership review as well

[@m4tiger12]

Great video thanks

[@GlennsCarCollection]

thanks for watching. 18 month review coming later next week

[@justingormly5477]

Looking forward to it! I really like the car and am still deciding if I should lease a new one of possibly buy one a year old or so.

[@VladimirMicic]

I can feel through the screen how stiff the ride is. Your voice is litterally shivering from the bumps. This might be the reason for me to no opt for this car. I'm in love with it though. Looking at this 2014 Edition One, white with black details. Man it looks good... But this firm ride will make me go Golf 7.5R i guess 😢

[@GlennsCarCollection]

They soften the ride each year. I believe mine was a 2015.

[@VladimirMicic]

@@GlennsCarCollection I tested a 2014 today, it was much better than I expected, pretty confortable actually, and I'm 6'4. Recaro seats.

[@34hockeyplayer]

Love your GLA 45 reviews

[@lithangw]

Thanks for the review. I have a 2018 GLA45 AMG arriving in October. I ordered the car with the adjustable suspension and front diff. I am hoping the car is not too stiff. I did order with the standard 19" wheels instead of the 20" so hopefully that helps with the ride comfort.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

you should be fine with the 19's. I have those as well. I thought the 20's were stiff. The 16-18 model years have a slightly softer suspension to begin with. You will love it, enjoy! and thank you for subscribing to my channel. More GLA 45 videos to come

[@JW88275]

Thanks for the GLA update. I've been looking around my area (FL) and have noticed many 2015s and some 2016s popping up between 40-45k. Does yours have push button start?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

yes, my does. I believe you can add it afterwards. The push button start is just the plastic start button snapped into the key fob hole.

[@iansrving]

True cargo test on any hatch... Put an upright bass in it.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great idea

[@alansultan2602]

@@GlennsCarCollection I tested it, my upright fits in the back with room to spare

[@GlennsCarCollection]

thanks

[@stevethomas760]

Mourning the passing of manual transmissions. Yes they are faster but they involve you in the driving experience. As you mentioned this car would be even better with a six speed. Good review, thanks

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Thank you for watching and subscribing to my channel. Check of my video, End of the Manual Transmission.

[@jdavidblais]

Hi dude BIG QUESTION , i also own opne for one year now and i have squiki brake do you experience it either >???

[@GlennsCarCollection]

I do not have squeaky brakes, perhaps its the brake pads

[@tcams76]

You failed to mention that small gas tank with a engine over 300hp.... otherwise excellent review. On second thought you did state the size of the tank, but not your average mileage range.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Good point.

[@jamaljuse6256]

What did you do to the exhaust

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Nothing, It is the option Mercedes sport exhaust and it is a must have options. Check out my newer reviews on the GLA 45. The 18 month ownership review was posted a few months ago. Thanks for watching and subscribing

[@robertshetsen8691]

Do you like m2 better how is m2 in the rain or snow

[@GlennsCarCollection]

As a sports car I like the M2 better but the GLA 45 has the M2 beat in rain or snow due to the all wheel drive. The GLA 45 is great in all kinds of weather, so much grip. Thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel

[@hopper131]

Looking at buying a 2017 model as my first small luxury. Think it's still worthwhile?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Yes, the AMG version is more sport than luxury.

[@andyp8464]

great review as always! it's been a long time since your last gla one. I think the car (2017 model ) is butter smooth in comfort mode. my little child only likes me driving it in that mode ! no sport plus mode allowed ! sadly after a year and a quarter I'll be swapping this amazing car over for a c63s. I'll miss the GLA 45. great car. in fact I'll.ssy it's a fantastic car in every way except it isn't a V8. agree that adaptive dampers are really useful. for comfort I'll probably suggest skipping the recaro seats. In terms of stiffness in comfort mode it seems really fine to me but bounces around quite a lot. I think one thing to note is that it has a raised ride height and needs to be stuff as otherwise body roll would be a major issue like it is in some sport audis. .

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great comments. Thank you for subscribing. The C63s is a great car as well. I would love to drive and review one. More GLA 45 videos to come, I've been too busy driving other peoples cars

[@andyp8464]

Glenns Car Collection that's always a good sign ! keep up the great work and soon you'll be doing new car reviews straight from the dealers !!!! The c63s will be built and delivered hopefully in January. it is a station wagon , not really a good looking car like the coupe or sedan at all but I needed the extra space. so I can still play around with my gla till then. I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of race starts and four wheel drifts !

[@GlennsCarCollection]

You're right, dealers reached out to me for the McLaren 720s and Lamborghini Huracan reviews, a dealer has offered me the new NSX so look for a video on that in October

[@potatochobit]

Do you still own this car? I want to buy a used one but I am scared expensive things are going to start breaking. also this car cannot upgrade to android auto? only 2016+ with technology package?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

No, I sold it. see my 18 month review. Great car but I agree, get a warranty. Buy from a Mercedes dealer CPO if possible. Its a great car

[@jarhead444]

Glen! I think I have your exact car now in NJ! It’s 2023, I purchased it late last year. I had to change the vent line and coolant housing which set me back 4000 but since then everything is super. Thanks for the review.

[@arainla]

Still have the car and happy with it?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

I sold the car last year, needed a large car for the new job. I did love the GLA 45 AMG, check out my 18 month review on the channel

[@matthowell8985]

Just picked up mine. All black with red accent. I've never seen one before, and I'm wondering. How many are even in the United States?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Congrats! I am sure the production numbers are low. Lots of GLA 250 but its a rare site for the 45 AMG. I have only seen two others besides mine and one is my friend who bought due to my recommendation

[@theaustralianconundrum]

I just bought a 2016 build in Australia with all the extra's for US$28,000 @ 29,000 miles and it is AMAZING!!!!! The devaluation on these is crazy. They would be terrible to purchase brand new.@@GlennsCarCollection

[@bkfk6460]

What exhaust is on that?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

The AMG optional sport exhaust. it only cost $500 if ordered when the car is built and it sounds amazing. Worth every penny.

[@silverfoxsilverfox6932]

What is that engine upgrade you was talking about, I tried to ask my Mercedes dealer about that and nobody seemed to know about it.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Same engine different tune. Here in the U.S. it had 355 hp in model year 2015, 375 in model year 2016

Hey Glenn Would you purchase gla 45 amg from a Mercedes-Benz dealer that bought it at PA auction and then certified it for resale?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Yes definitely. Dealer get cars from auctions all the time. If it passes Mercedes criteria for certification, then its a good car. You could also buy mine, it will be for sale soon.

[@sccphilly]

Glenns Car Collection Thanks, what is your sale price? When does the warranty run out?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

asking $39k. I will have to check, but I believe the warranty runs out spring of 2019. The car is very reliable, I've never had any problems.
