Nice Car

This is probably the best car I have ever owned. The only problem is the gas tank is to small. Every thing else is great.

Worst company to buy from

Century 21 and its workers are full of ----. They only want to serve white customers whom they think can afford there over priced cars and trucks. I sent 3 black people to see how they would be treated and all were treated poorly by different sales people. They wouldn't let them test drive the cars and talk down to them. I would tell everyone who is looking to purchasing a vehicle stay away from century 21

cpo 2011 glk after 10k miles

solid, reliable mini suv. average 26mpg highway, 19mpg suburban. im retired and use mostly as a long distance highway cruiser. drives like a bank vault on wheels. easy to use controls. brakes have saved me a couple of times. like all german cars feels best above 80mph, sigh. why i rated it 4 star: sunroof (solid roof hard to find) too thin & heats up car too much, rear seat leg room a tad too tight, wonder if 3.0 liter engine would give better mpg for not much less pep, seems high priced if bought new so cpo is way to buy. all that said, i highly recommend if buyer is empty nester or doesnt use rear seat much. so far no gremlins or glitches. when i consider to trade it in, i cant find a peer (q5, x3, xc60) that is as solid a value as the glk.

2011 GLK

I buy an new car every two years and this is my 20th car to own since i bought my first. It has the most solid feel/bank vault like. At 20, 000 miles, it has not one rattle, has not seen the Mercedes dealer once. I do my own service. It has a smooth ride, excellent power and is quite. My gas mileage has been better than reported at 25/hwy. I may actually keep this one longer than usual because of how much i enjoy driving it. I would highly recommend the GLK.

GLK 350 4MATIC

Wow, wada ride. test driving the e300 and we pulled into the dealership and my wife fell head over heels for her new GLK350. Took it on a test/sold ride and it was right back to the dealership to trade in our 07 corvette and 07 tahoe z71.. this vehicle sold itself. black exterior with the tan interior. didnt get all the bells and whistles because they werent needed..This is a SUPER fun midsize to drive weather your running to the grocery store or loading some luggage to go on a road trip. peepy v6 and some good gas milage.i like to borrow it every now and then and just drive. really amazing midsize!

Wow! What a ride!

I am 71 years old and have had many luxury cars. None of them can compare to this vehicle when considering many factors, especially cost. This vehicle is comfortable, quiet, fuel efficient, lots of cargo space, and the base model provides sufficient luxuries unless you're a "Technology Junkie." The V6 268 horsepower is indeed a proper mix for this vehicle. I added only a few luxuries to make this "my vehicle." I am six feet tall and find most other vehicles in this class are difficult to enter and exit. Not this vehicle. I recommend this vehicle for a couple or small family. You will not be disappointed.

hits the mark

picked up a glk 350 in Germany on EDP in March. Drove for a week on autobahns. Flawless, solid as a tank, quiet and exudes character. With sunroofs and upgraded Harman Kardon surround stereo, paid about $35000, with additional perks from MB for trip to Europe. Car arrived last week in US. My wife loves it, and she has had numerous new cars and vans. This is her favorite thus far. I am a car buff, and at $35,000, this car is a relative bargain. Gives you the 3.5 liter engine and 7 speed tranny from the E350 and has more utility for $10,000 less. Looks great in Alpine white and tan/black/walnut interior. Sound from stereo is great. Seats comfortable, handles good and receive constant compliments on looks. To compare this SUV to a CRV or Rav4 is a joke. My daughter has a CRV, replaced the transmission twice in 100,000 miles. Crude, rough basic transmission. Only slightly better actual gas mileage, but then it was $10,000 cheaper. You get what you pay for OR LESS.

Is this really a Benz?

I test drove a 2011 GLK and I was greatly disappointed. My first turnoff was the closeness of the turn signal and the cruse control lever. I kept hitting one for the other.It's hard to believe that MB will come up with a design like that. Then the drive. I did not get the ''road hugging'' feel that MB have a reputation for.Feels like I was driving just any other lower end car. The Nav. system is also not so impressive. It needs to be updated occasionally compared with other Navs that updates itself. I got me an FX35 in it's place.'
