2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class consumer reviews

I am 56 y.o. and this is my 1st Mercedes, I wish I had not waited so long. I hope to keep it a long time as any other car would be a let-down after owning this one. I like the small footprint and the large cargo capacity. It is sporty, I tested a C300 and I think this one handled better. The gas mileage is not bad considering it weighs 2 tons, which helps make it feel like a bank vault on wheels, no crosswind wander when driving by semi's in this SUV. The vinyl seats are extremely comfortable as I have driven 12 hours days in it. The power liftgate option is very handy and the dual sunroof option really opens up the interior as mine is black. I get asked about it alot as there are not that many on the road where I live. This is the most comfortable vehicle I have owned and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I traded in my Mercedes ML 320 for a 2010 Mercedes GLK. I love the body style and the size. This model has the Command Navigation system and keyless go, which are nice features, and the sound system is awesome. The Mercedes GLK has an issue with wind noise. When you reach 40 mph or higher, you can hear the wind blowing against the roof, or the luggage rack and it makes it difficult to enjoy music. I've noticed complaints from other owners regarding this issue and it appears to be a design flaw. Additionally, I'm constantly thinking one of the windows is cracked because when another vehicle passes, it sounds like a window is cracked open, but it's not. My ML was much quieter. The vehicle handles nicely and has plenty of go. It can get you out of a tight situation quickly. It gets about 20 MPG, and considering its size, you would expect it to get better gas mileage. I love this vehicle, with the exception of the wind noise and road noise and I'm hoping Mercedes fixes this design flaw in the future. If so, I would trade this one in for another. If not, I'd go back to the ML.

This vehicle has no comfort with the standard seats. Side mirrors are not large enough to see lanes properly when entering the freeway. BMW is a much better vehicle, but also cost more for same equipment, I guess thats why GLK is doing ok on sales. No coin holder. Whats up with that? I do like the styling though.

Just purchased my GLK from my nerest (MB) Dealer and i love it i came out of a 2006 Honda crv Se full loaded that i purchased brand new. Also was still in love with it but after a batteling divorce i wanted to treat myself for my 38th B day. i tried a couple of competotrs such as Audis Q5 and the Lexus Rx .I thought i was in love with the Lexus Rx wasnt totally pleased with sticker tag of 45 Grand. Therefore i went to MB and i test drove the GlK and i loved it i got a Black one totally pleased with the vechiceal so far this Also was not my first MB i had leased a 2001 C class and i was pleased but wasnt Financially stable enough to maintain a $300 service charge so after i didnt not go back. My favorite feature of the GLK is the sunroof!! OMG I love it Anorther feature i totally enjoy is the Power liftgate i totally love it and i also have a heavy foot and it gets up there for the back roads of Connecuit i mainly needed a vechical that was practical for everyday use i know i wanted a SUV because of space Perfect car for a Physician* totally love it i think it complements the Class of a independent Black Woman*

I have about 30,000 miles on my GLK and the latest gas mileage is way above the listing. If I keep my GLK on the highway around 70 Miles per hour i averaged 26 miles to the gal. Better at 50 miles per hour, 28 miles per gal. Over all city and highway is about 20 miles per gal.

I have owned 4 GLK's and 4 BMW X3's and I think the GLK is a much better overall vehicle. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a "right sized" SUV.

I am a realtor and needed a versatile vehicle, but one with comfort and prestige. I have owned, several American made luxury cars and vans as well as 3 Japanese SUV/crossovers('09 and '10). For several months I researched and drove all the competitors before buying this 2 wheel drive, 2010 "dealer demo" with low miles. This is the best overall vehicle for me! Even at this entry level price range, it is still a "Mercedes" and that means quality engineering, head turning style, great ride, and well earned prestige. After driving those other gadget laden, cushy crossovers, I really appreciate the simplicity of the dash, the logically placed dials, the trim, durable upholstery and fun double sun roof. Comfortable seating for all passengers, easy parking with great visibility and impressive turning ratios were must haves. Just the right size, and it still has flexible cargo area for signs and equipment. The power, handling and stability feels so reliable, especially in places like busy So. Cal freeway on ramps. I feel safe and in control dodging those semi trucks and smoothly passing by potholes. So. Cal mountains turned into molehills! Oh did I mention, my Dogs love to ride in the back with the seats flipped down. Everytime I drive it I catch myself thinking...I love this car, I love this car, I love this car!

Good Job Mercedes. It is a great small suv. I hope that MB will bring the 4 cyl. bio-fuel to the USA. Other then that. I would buy again and again.

I love my GLK. I have leased many BMW's over the years and while i still have one in my household, I much prefer my GLK. I was fortunate enough to get the AMG package on it and am so glad I paid a little extra. It really makes the vehicle pop. i test drove the Audi Q5 and was so happy i got this instead. The only negative i would say there is would be the speaker for the blue tooth its in a spot that gets covered by your keys and I have many conversations with people who claim to have a hard time hearing me. I cant say enough wonderful things about this car.

We traded in our 2006 ML500 for the new GLK350 and my wife loves it, it has the horsepower to get up and go and we gone out of town once and we averaged using the curise 26 miles to a gallon of gas on the road
