Peter the GLA A45 would certainly tick all the boxes for me too ,if it wasn't for the kids ,it looks like a fantastic piece of modern engineering .
What a daily driver !
Our kids are 25 and 28, so they don't need to be considered other than as occasional passengers.
We need to check the rear space isn't too small, but 90% of the time the car would have just me and the boss in it.
Test drive as soon as the dealers have one, I think.
An excellent "first drive" in Autocar this week.
