    Its overall good package and best vehicle in its class. The car is very comfortable and has all drive options like sports, manual & normal automatic drive mode. It has a good boot. The driving area feels like a cockpit. I would recommend this vehicle specially for city drive as its a compact sedan. Its very good for highway driving as well and one can drive it easily at high speed.

    Rear seats 

    If anyone really is a drive enthusiast looking for a performance car in the compact SUV segment, with lot of style and statement, this is the car to go for. Its really flashy, the petrol version (and only the petrol version in GLA) is pretty powerful to give you those driver adrenaline if you want those. The car is very communicative to the driver, and very safe such that a naive or beginner driver can quickly adapt to driving this car (my wife learnt to drive and enjoys driving my car). It is really safe with a lot of assisting features like the Active brake assist which I love for beginner drivers like my wife (the car senses the urgency to brake and assists in braking on time with the required intensity. On the other hand if I want to race the accelerators in a moment they sense my experienced footwork and lets me do what I want to do with the car. Its really communicative to my driving style. Comfort and styling though lagging in comparison to other higher version Mercedes cars, is definitely a lot more feature rich than the competitors BMW and AUDI. Space issues are there if someone is looking for a family SUV, But trust me I carried a 6 foot long 50kg kickboxing bag in my boot with the rear seats down and front passenger side seat a bit pushed ahead, still two of us me and my wife drove back with that bag. So although space on record and looks are really not so much as you would expect of an SUV, it is doable. Now those who go after style and fun really wont care much about space would they? And rear seats are fairly comfortable but a driver like me who have never sat on his rear seats of the previous cars in the last fifteen years cannot care less about rear seat comfort and spaces. For self the driver, space and comfort is pretty much competitive with peer brands though not as good as the higher versions of Merc which I would like to enjoy.
