    DISAPPOINTMENT

    Where to start with such a disappointing vehicle. The ride of the GLC43 is very harsh but there is little handling benefit. The transmission tuning is poor. Comfort mode (which is the default) is limp (it starts in 2nd gear and upshifts constantly with result that if you even look at the gas pedal it is busy downshifting) while Sport mode can feel at low speeds like a 16 year old learning to drive stickshift and otherwise is too aggressive for what is not a sporty vehicle. Yes, it gets some good times in car magazines but in the real world the car is slow unless you are flooring it. The infotainment has broken several times though it at least it has a controller which the new one doesn't have. And this is an SUV that I could not buy snow (or summer) tires for. It came with run-flats (avoid at all costs) and the ONLY run-flats in this size were the 4 season Goodyears. Now they make the GLC with an optional spare but my dealer would not sell me a spare kit for my car so I could upgrade the tires.

    Great combination of performance and practicality

    I am amazed at the comfort in this performance suv. You can change the personality of the car with the flip of a switch. Command system is a bit cumbersome.

    Oh What Fun....

    This is a fun little SUV with power in reserve. First time I stepped on the gas, my face lit up like Christmas. Styling is fun, but not over the top. Missing a few bells and whistles, but the open throttle makes you quickly forget about all that. Mercedes does have some quirky mechanisms and the on board computer system is difficult at best while driving. Did I mention the fun speed factor? I am willing to overlook the quirks. I have always been a BMW guy, perhaps leaning for a Porsche Cayenne at this time, but the GLC 43 AMG made me forget those brands even exist. For the price, it was the GLC 43 all the way.
