Review: 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 - Fun but Very Flawed

I review the refreshed 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 and find that while there's a few impressive and fun characteristics, they're drowned out by a sea of disappointments that put a damper on the experience combined with the pricing, ruin any hope this car has of being competitive or compelling. What do you think about the GLA 35? Thanks to Mercedes for providing this vehicle to review.
