the GLA45 AMG should fit the bill ... right?

Nice addition! Did you consider the Macan S as well?

calmtigers · 12-01-2014, 10:56 AM

So nice, take some interior shots! @DarkSunrise the Macan is beautiful saw it for first time on the road and was surprised how much I liked the SUV

Looked at both the Macan and SQ5. The macan was $80k+ with the options she wanted and slower ... hell even the porsche Macan Turbo can not beat the AMG GLA45.
The SQ5 was just to boring.

As for the rest of the comments ... I thought car forums were for discussing cars ... I guess selling my FRS series 10 makes me a loser on this site.

Nope!
I bet a 3rd of the people on here have got rid of their FRS/BRZ or still have not got one.
Some of us still get value from posts like this. I now know to not even bring the Macan into the equation for her (was thinking of it) and will steer her away if she stumbles across it in her relentless searching.

SUVs are pointless:

2015 VW Golf
25/37 MPG
22 cu-ft
52 cu-ft with rear seats folded
$18,000

GLA45
23/29 MPG (if you believe MB)
17 cu-ft
43 cu-ft with rear seats folded
$48,000

I remember when I was younger ... I swore that I would NEVER own a SUV. After marriage, two kids, dogs, cats, groceries, trips back and forth to California, etc ... I've come to the conclusion that SUVs are very convenient.

I don't know why so many females like to ride big, fat and stiff stuff.

Mim · 12-02-2014, 03:07 AM

I just wanted to insert my response

rskdsk · 12-02-2014, 04:55 AM

Really ... you are comparing prices between a VW golf and a GLA45

And then you are comparing space ...

How about comparing the price of a GLA45 to the Macan, SQ5, etc... a Golf ...

Or how about comparing something that really matters ... like performance ... or have you given up on enjoying life's fun things

A golf .... please

Don't bother justifying the purchase.

I cancelled my CLA45 order for the Shooting brake, the engineering/tech on these things are ridiculous compared to its competitors.

Yes. That is indeed the norm.
Posting derisive comments to posts from strangers; also the norm.
Welcome to the Internet. You're a late arrival, I gather.
