Hey all!
I've been looking into getting an SUV for the family. Would you say the GLA is a spacious car for a family of four? They do look quite small in pictures and i have yet to see them up front.
Thanks!

It's fine for two adults and two kids but probably not good for regular long journeys with two tall, full-size teenagers. That said, I took two adults (plus me) and two teenagers on a long journey without too much complaining from the back. It depends how big you are as a family. I'm 6'3", my girlfriend is 5'10" and my kids are as tall as me! A 'small' family of five would probably be okay in a GLA. It really is a very comfy car

Totally agree with Roy.Like me, 1 child & 2 adults, perfect. Nice interior, enough space (I can't say its spacious), nice handling, good exterior design and most importantly: its a benz!!!

Sweet! The GLA definitely seems like the perfect compact SUV for my family.

We've had snow here for many weeks now on the mountainsides of North Wales, and my GLA shod with winter boots has not slipped more than a few inches at any time, and I'm no sedate driver. I can't sing its praises high enough as a compact SUV with an emphasis on the 'sport'
