2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43 consumer reviews

This is a fun car to drive. Has a nice throaty growl to the exhaust. Tons of power and great handling. Drives like a sports car but has the size of a mini SUV.

terrible in maintenance needed only 16,000 miles and have had to replace tires twice and now brake pads and brakes need replacing in cold weather the car makes a terrible sound when turning

Nice car. Did not get a chance to put a lot of miles on it, but the driving experience was enjoyable. Very smooth when in comfort mode but nice and agile in sport mode.

I wanted a small fast AWD SUV that look apart and the AMG GLC43 offered this. The GLC43 holds its own and the power is pleanty to keep you entertained. The handling is not bad with the AMG air suspension and brakes are very good. Exhaust note is not bad even in my standard exhaust ( at the time there were no options, there is an option now for later models), the drivers assistant electronics work well and have saved me from a minor crash on several times. The biggest downfall is the extreme winter weather driving and that has a lot to do with the origenal tires(they are performance all season which means stay home during any snow).

Not able to see warning lights and the whole rear window view at the same time. Rear camera view is nice, but I would like to see whole rear window view through my rear view mirror. Currently I only have half a window view.

I had assumed I would end up with an SQ5 as I have long been an Audi owner and fan. The MB surprised me though, performing better, looking better on the outside and feeling far more "special" on the inside. My only complaint so far is that I do not find the COMAND system very intuitive and I don't love the "iPad stuck on the dash" look, but only Volvo really avoids this issue in luxury SUVs and they lack a real performance alternative.

The exterior of the GLC43 is nothing less than sharp. This SUV surpasses everything in class by leaps and bounds. The pure sophistication and features of this vehicle put it in a league of its own. After driving the GLC43 AMG nothing else seems comparable. The raw power, the impressive turning radius, the lack of blind spots, the self parking and driving features. It's worth every penny and worth dropping the coffee a day for. Seriously, get in and drive one because after you do nothing else will seem as good. The GLC300 the model under it won SUV of the year but the 43 is raw appeal on wheels. Don't buy a minivan..get one of these!

I was looking for a luxury compact suv for sometime. My important expectation from a suv car is its performance and its value for the money which this car absolutely meets my expectations.Besides 367 hp and 0-60 mph in less than 5 secs makes driving this car definitely exhilarating ...

I never thought I would be using bargin price and Mercedes Benz in the same review. Growing family requirements dictated that we shop for a station wagon or compact SUV. I went into the search thinking a Ford Explorer V6 Eco Boost was going to be our next vehicle....it's nice enough driving but has many costly features I had no use for such as the electrically folding 3rd row seats. Looked at about all the competition was swaying towards a QX50 but, my 5'10" tall wife didn't like the Infinity seating position. The Mercedes GLC was a great SUV and much lower cost than the Explorer but once you start adding convenience luxury options the price quickly escalates...The GLC43 with its AMG motor has many convienence luxury features as standard equipment making it a great bargin in the luxury SUV wars. Great driving vehicle with plenty of acceleration on tap....Compared to the Macan.....again the GLC43 is a great value. My only complaints...wish it had a "launch control" and Apple CarPlay in its features....why the cheaper GLA has CarPlay and the GLC does not mystifyies me.

Of all it's competitors (Jag, BMW, Lexus,Audi), only the Macan can give you equal performance, but at a significantly higher cost. On top of that the GLC43 is far better looking, and MB dealers beat out arrogant Porsche dealers hands down. The car offers excellent performance, safety, ride quality, and charisma and its road presence is unequalled in its class.
