Did they use the same powertrain as the Malibu you have?

I don't know. I actually thought they kept some other, worse 2.4L.

I think I have my mom convinced to go look at some of the options at the dealer for that last listing (which has a 2015 and 2016 GLA and some GLCs)...

I wonder if I can get her to go Sat morning. If so, I wonder if I should just buy both of the GLA's, one for my fleet and one for her.

What do you know about the turbo 4-banger reliability and/or the transaxle in the GLA. Anything worrisome that you're aware of?

Trans is a dual clutch style I believe. That's all the input I have time for at the moment.

They sold a variant to Nissan.

I didn't know there was also platform sharing with Nissan.

Private party on Kbb says 2015’s could be $6500-$8500ish. I don’t think I’ve seen any on facebook marketplace close to that though….

Here is the other one for my convenience: https://www.jimjuliani.com/2016-Mercede ... YCgqE6Y%3d

Looks like 4 matching Michelins on the 2015.
