Dissatisfied
No problems for first 4 years. Got “brake assist” error one day and dealer could not fixed. This is a very dangerous error as the car suddenly stops accelerating (no matter what is your speed). Took the car to dealer shop 7 times! Finally the dealer bought me back the car. Too bad because it is a beautiful car, but totally unreliable.- Purchased a New car

Buyers be aware
It’s an amazing suv! Comfortable, drives well. It has all the features you could possibly want. Now for the bad…things are constantly breaking down…parts and labour are very expensive. Unfortunately I will sell mine not worth it!- Purchased a Used car

Everything was great until.....
A month ago I was driving my 2018 GLC Coupe when the engine started to idle rough. Took it to the dealership and they informed me I needed a new engine! At 16,000 miles! They replaced the engine, but I’m not too comfortable knowing that I could have an issues down the road. I did talk corporate to give me an extended warranty- Purchased a New car

Great ride and performance, but dated technology
I chose this car over a BMW X3 due to the superior ride and performance. I've owned it for almost 4 years now and still like it - and plan on driving it until it drops - but there are a few items that would have kept me from purchasing this car if I would have only known them then. Unfortunately, I didn't spend enough time- Purchased a New car

Love this car
I transport about 250 rescued cats and dogs a year, and this SUV has plenty of room for all the crates and people. It’s so comfortable — the heated seats don’t get too hot and all the controls are easily accessible. The extra cup holders/bins on the doors add a lot of storage. It’s peppy and fun to drive. Plus, it’s silver and- Purchased a Used car

Best car I have owned. Well balanced all around
Great car. Excellent performance with great mileage. Have owned 3 years with zero problems. I always drive in sport mode without start-stop. Test other driving modes but sport gives best drive with no loss of fuel economy. Replace run-flat tires with non-run flat. Huge improvement in ride quality and handling. Bought- Purchased a New car

Most reliable car I've owned.
I got this car brand new and kept it cleaned inside my garage. This car met my needs. Safety is important for my family and it is solidly build. The metal frame is built to absorb the shock and protects you from getting crushed. I enjoy driving this car to work and I can truly feel the quality materials Mercedes-Benz put inside- Purchased a New car
