2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class consumer reviews

Happy New Year! I just bought the little wife a new 2012 GLK 350 4-Matic. We got a great deal and everything she wanted. I highly recommend getting the premium package, Navi, heated seats and AWD. We live in The Santa Cruz mountains of northern California on a steep and winding road. It's very important that our cars are comfortable spirited and handle well. We traded her wonderful little Acura TSX for the GLK. The GLK is proving a worthy replacement. The look and feel of the GLK on mountain roads is a real thrill. It also handles the uneven pavement and turnouts smoothly in a way that a sedan would not. We took it up the coast today on CA 1 to catch the sunset and.it passed slower traffic with ease rivaling my 328i in sport mode. The V6 is impressive, braking is solid and smooth, the handling is sporty & superb, and the thing is a tank (this is a good thing). This is a solid vehicle and its the 1st MBZ in years to get my attention. The luxurious interior is very quiet at low and highway speeds. The gas milage is not the best but its not much worse than my BMW, and you are nuts if you buy an SUV to save gas. The GLK is a much better car than the more expensive ML too. Its a better value and nicer car IMHO than the X3. The GLK blows the over priced Q5 out of the water. If you want a real AWD performance cross over SUV this is a perfect car for you. You will not believe the value for the money!
