2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class consumer reviews

Bought it used 7years ago. now 200k miles still going strong. love the car!! I owe sprinter with same motor and 600k+miles on it. If you maintain them- they will last for ever.

THIS SUV IS AMAZING, LIKE A SMALL LUXURY JET. Why Mercedes discontinued this model is a puzzling question. I won't own anything but a GL450

This vehicle met all my needs. Great leg room and extra third row seat which is helpful for a large family. Good looking beautiful car.

The gl 550 that i've owned for a couple years now, has to be one of the best suv out there. From a third row that can fit an over 6 foot adult to the soft adaptive air suspension. The car is actually way to fast for what it is, and up to this day, I put my foot down and its still throws your head with insane acceleration. Sound system, harmon kardon is excellent, I think newer cars are losing base but these surround sounds have thumping bass. The presence of this car, everyone just stares at this car from the biggest three pointed star ever on a mercedes to the amg 21 inch performace wheels and extended fenders. WHAT a car and for the price of around 30k, there is no better three row suv for the money.

I owned it for 9 months total the lightbulbs got hit and melted the casing cost to fix 1500 had to do entire light fixture not a piece or only drive during day the. Air suspension stopped working car sat on tires basically unable to drive it was the worst car I’ve ever had the experience to own it was truly junk and cost to fix car was close to 4600 I got rid of it

Highs: Rides like an S-Class (air suspension). Handles better than anything it's size. Strong diesel engine. Excellent interior. Simple infotainment system compared to modern cars. Simple engine systems compared to modern cars. Diesel engine is used all over Europe as a taxi cab (and cars used as taxis tend to be some of the most reliable, because they have to be.) Suspension can be raised; this is useful in Houston when it floods! Lots and lots of room! Lows: Likely will need repairs as it get older/more miles. But, I bought it for only $14k, so what can I expect. Some plastic creaking. But, what can you expect from an older German car? You get something with a sophisticated suspension, but they pay less attention to creaking plastics.

this car is what luxury mean when it comes to comfort, and reliability, the driverbility and the smoothness cant be compared to a vehicle of its class

Poor vehicle the dealer did not service our at all constantly paying money out on this some vehicle all the time. Please help me I have spoke with the dealer and the sales people they .care gl550 class

im in love with this suv. its a very fun car to drive and when in a crowd it stands out above everything else..

The GL320 was a great vehicle as we pounded it through deep snow in our area in the winter with excellent traction. We filled it with 2 adults and 4 teenagers on long road trips with no trouble. One of the best features it had was ability to crack open the rear quarter windows for car sick rear passengers. The diesel was so so on fuel with 9L/100km but moved the big rig around nicely. We had it for 3 yrs and 65K kms with just a new windshield.
