    The best most comfortable car I have ever owned! Performs like a Sedan! Highly maneuverable. Comfortable cockpit. Only minor fault, it consumes fuel on the highway! Very happy/satisfied otherwise!

    We LOVE our new (used) GLE 350!

    We got our GLE 350 after owning 3 Lexus RX’s. We usually keep our cars 8-10 years, and trade up around 170,000 miles. After about 6 weeks ownership, we love our GLE! We’re looking forward to the next 10 hrs, 100,000 miles!

    Beauty at a great price

    This is my dream car. It's white with beige interior. The Mercedes has the premium package, rides smooth and is a beauty to look at. It is in perfect condition with low mileage.

    I love Mercedes

    This car is my 3rd Mercedes SUV and by far the best. The features are incredible. Meets all my needs! My wife had me look at other brands of vehicles and I couldn’t switch from Mercedes, once you drive one, you won’t go back to any other vehicle.

    The safest and smoothest SUV I have ever owned.

    After the massage seats were turned on there was no way I was Leaving the dealership without that GLE 350. The test drive just kept getting better and better as the safety features were activated. The GLE 350 basically was driving itself. Switching from Comfort to Sport mode made a huge difference as we got on the back streets compared to the Interstate. The steering wheel felt so good in my hands. Now that I have had it for a month, I love it even more. I don't see me ever buying anything else but a Mercedes ever again.

    Great Family Car

    This car is # 6 of previously owned Mercedes and we like this one the best. It fits our current needs for safety and reliability and has much more value for money compared to previously owned Lincolns, Volvos, and Camry. Our adult kids and grandkids agree it is the nicest looking car we have ever owned.

    This SUV meets and surpass all of my expectations. The sales people at Mercedes Benz of Columbus are the greatest and are very professional. I recommend them to anyone looking for a great luxury vehicle. I love it.

    I love the look of the vehicle; the space inside and outside. It is reliable and along with roadside assistance (I haven’t had to use it before) makes me feel very comfortable when I am traveling alone.
