Hi all,

I will be picking up my GLA 220D AMG Line in South Seas Blue on Tuesday.

My previous car was C Class 220D AMG Sport Plus.

I'm excited but also a little worried after reading all the issues people are having/have had with their GLA's. My fingers are firmly crossed hoping I get a decent one. Bearing in mind that mine is 8 months old 😕

I don't think you need to worry.
Whilst several people, myself included, have experienced problems, none seem to be widespread.

Thank you BULB.

Still my fingers are crossed and I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on this little beast 😄

Also consider that forums are full of faults and often very little good things are mentioned. It can be off putting sometimes!

Welcome along, have you collected it yet? How are you getting on with it?

Welcome to the forum, South Sea's Blue is a lovely colour!

23stevet....I wouldn't worry too much about others comments. I was obsessed with the reviews whilst waiting 3 months for my GLA200 to arrive and haven't encountered any major problems. If anything, the main problem I encountered (burning smell & smoke) was toned down as I didn't get too worried after reading how other people had the same problem which turned out to be nothing to worry about. It's a car at the end of the day so I'm sure there's no manufacturer out there that has zero defects. Anyway, Good luck with your new purchase and I hope you enjoy it 😀

Still glad I purchased mine.

Only advice I'd give is don't rely on the mpg as per the book...but again, that's prob the same as most, if not all other manufacturers.
