Out of the GLA, GLB and GLC I think this is the most bang for your buck. As a family man I love having a third row for when you need it. And the Leg Room on the 2nd row is way better than most cars in this size. For a single person I think GLA is perfectly fine. GLC is nice looking but still uses the same 2 Liter Engine.
As a owner of this car I have to say this car is boring and the only highlights of this car are “mb + its boxy design” The only model worth buying is glb 35
In some cultures, it could be seen as derogatory to speak of something as "this thing." Some cultures are just more sophisticated and perhaps respectful.
