Boot 425 l What reviewers say Reviewers agree the GLA is comfortable and easy to live with, with a classy, high-tech interior and good rear-seat space. The common criticisms are a price that is high for the class and a drive that isn't engaging; Carwow found the boot smaller than rivals', and Auto Express disliked the fiddly steering-wheel controls.
