"My husband and I were wanting to purchase a new SUV. We checked out several other makes and models, but nothing "wowed" us like the GLK. The interior is gorgeous and the exterior is unique and stylish. So cute and fun to drive. Perfect for a family of four, but may be a bit tight for more than that. We took it on a 4,000 mile road trip this summer and it handled great. My kids love the double sunroof. We are very happy with our purchase."

"Great vehicle, the only problem is that everything is optional. The vehicle comes with packages from the dealer, but getting more options....cost. Can't wait for winter to see if it gets around as well as the dealer says."

"OK, Here it goes, we love the mercedes, have an slk and I sold the C300 to get into an SUV. Looked at Audi, Volvo and BMW but love Mercedes. The look is odd for todays SUV's but it is simply a wonderful handling vehicle and is very comfy. Reminds us of our C CLass and is very familiar. SO far after a week we just love it. Fuel is so, so but it is bigger and towing capacity if fine. In short, drives like a sedan but a little heavier but you have some truck like features. We couldnt be any happier."

"I love my new 2012 GLK. It has an unbelievably smooth and quiet ride, great power, and fantastic options. The only down side is the gas mileage; however, if you are buying an SUV gas mileage shouldn't be a deal breaker."

"Being a military man I've travel the world and owned several high end vehicles. Finally my wife said let's go and look at the GLK, I said alright, man after driving the GLK I was sold on this vehicle. I'm thinking about getting another the 2013 later this fall."

"I love my GLK 350, but I hate the gas mileage that it gets around the city. My GLK gets a 5 for city mileage, but styling and realiability is a 10!!"

"Happy New Year! I just bought the little wife a new 2012 GLK 350 4-Matic. We got a great deal and everything she wanted. I highly recommend getting the premium package, Navi, heated seats and AWD. We live in The Santa Cruz mountains of northern California on a steep and winding road. It's very important that our cars are comfortable spirited and handle well. We traded her wonderful little Acura TSX for the GLK. The GLK is proving a worthy replacement. The look and feel of the GLK on mountain roads is a real thrill. It also handles the uneven pavement and turnouts smoothly in a way that a sedan would not. We took it up the coast today on CA 1 to catch the sunset and.it passed slower traffic with ease rivaling my 328i in sport mode. The V6 is impressive, braking is solid and smooth, the handling is sporty & superb, and the thing is a tank (this is a good thing). This is a solid vehicle and its the 1st MBZ in years to get my attention. The luxurious interior is very quiet at low and highway speeds. The gas milage is not the best but its not much worse than my BMW, and you are nuts if you buy an SUV to save gas. The GLK is a much better car than the more expensive ML too. Its a better value and nicer car IMHO than the X3. The GLK blows the over priced Q5 out of the water. If you want a real AWD performance cross over SUV this is a perfect car for you. You will not believe the value for the money!"
