Mercedes GLA review (17/05/2014)

OCCASIONALLY in this gig you come upon a car which — for some unknown reason — excites all manner of interest from Joe and Jane Public.

This week’s tester, the Mercedes GLA, was a really good example of the phenomenon. Wherever I went in the new compact SUV from the Stuttgart giant, people were falling over themselves to find out more about it.

Other than recognising the car as a Merc, few people seemed to have seen it coming.
