Love this SUV

I am putting 4 grand into my GL450 to replace brakes and power steering. Car has been awesome once you get a good mechanic. Btw its used so I'm not making payments. $400/month maintenance. Not bad. It goes well but they all need airshocks redone.

Best SUV ever

It has it all. Luxury, astounding diesel MPG (real world 23mpg mixed/30+mpg on the highway) and torque. Three row seating. Video screens DVD for back seat. It has been super reliable and not crazy expensive to maintain. Somehow the 2009 has a look that looks like much later models.

2009 Mercedes GL 450

This is a great family car to drive; it is styled nicely, is very safe and reliable. There are cheaper cars to be had, but the difference is in the value for your money.....and this Mercedes has tremendous value. I was surprised to hear how the engines are designed with more oil and coolant passageways than regular cars - this allows heat to not build up and decrease efficiency.....Very stable on any road or off road terrain.

Drive a like a sports car with the size of a suv

Beautiful suv with all the amenities needed for a family with little ones. Great for long trips with dual DVD player and wireless head phones for the kids.

Comfortable and well appointed

Moving up from a Lexus GX470 so this is bigger. The engine performance and suspension hide the fact that it is bigger and heavier. There's more personality in it's handling, you feel more connected to the road in a good way. The technology on the dash is abundant and it will take a bit to get comfortable with how it all works.
