Traded it in after 19,000 miles

I traded mine in after 19000 miles for one reason, the run flat tires. they are $300 a piece and last 15000 miles. They might be an option, if you don’t mind putting new and expensive tires on every year but they don’t perform in snow after 5000. They don’t perform great when new to be honest, just better in snow with more tread. I loved the car, but living in hilly, snowy Pennsylvania, it just wasn’t practical. Think twice if you drive in snow or rough roads or just don’t feel like getting new expensive tires every year

Greatest Automobile I have ever owned!

I have own 2 GLC 300 automobiles as 2017 and this 2019 sportier model AMG upgrades. These are the best cars I have ever owned. Comfort and looks are beautiful. I highly recommend this model.

Great crossover coupe

Love the car. 4 cylinder turbo, it has enough oomph to get on the highway quickly, but very comfortable in day to day local commute. AWD excellent in snow. In E mode, engine stops when vehicle does; mileage is very reasonable. Given the grill, black exterior and cranberry-accented seats, it’s a head turner (“Mercedes on steroids” was one comment). Only complaints are have to duck head to get in- and I’m only 5’9”, and the trunk space in less in the coupe model (which also looks sleeker than the square back, so take your pick).

I have owned it for a year and a half

I owned to glk’s before the glc. I liked the glk pretty well. They drove nice and were peppy. The glc 4 matic suv. Is fun to drive still peppy. And quite comfy. I live in a cold winter state and love the heated seats and steering wheel. I am 54 years old male and I find the car quite attractive and enjoyable to drive. I think there is some value in the upgraded burmiester stereo. And I love the 19” Amg rims. I do the oil change my self and have 22000 miles on the car with not one trip to the dealer. So I’m happy with its reliability. I just use to drive to work and back. So no others in the car. I like the car a lot

First Mercedes Benz

This car was purchased for my wife, she loves the car, she wanted to replace her Subrau Outback, which is AWD, this car meets all and more of what she wanted.

Love it. The safety features sold us.

The car has all wheel drive, an improved back up camera, adaptive cruise control and so many other technologies that make me feel secure and the gas mileage was a nice surprise in the "comfort" mode.

I regret with my decision

I originally wanted a Lexus NX but decided to give MB a visit first. I ended up buying the GLC300 4Matic cuz i needed a stronger car with plenty safety features. (I was in a bad car accident earlier this year) After about a week of driving it? All of the sudden Power Steering Wheeling Malfunction icon pops up. I couldn’t turn the wheel! It felt like it was locked. Luckily i was pulling up to the parking lot at work and not on the freeway going 70 miles per hour. Called roadside assistance and took it to MB of Sacramento where I purchased it from. I picked it up the next day, and was told the ground wire was loose. Seriously? How could it be? I can’t even comprehend how disappointed i am. My family members have purchased and owned many MBs and swear they were the best back in the day. I’m telling you this will be our last MB in my family tree.

Great car

This is our second GLC 300. We liked our 2016 model so much we purchased a new one in 2019. It is a great car and are very satisfied with all aspects of it.

OK. A little too small. Need a trailer hitch

A little too small. Need a trailer hitch. Would prefer a sunroof. Not as comfortable a ride as ML350 I traded in. Honestly wish I had waited to trade.
