smooth powerful comfort

i am the recent second owner from a family member that purchased new in 2013 and put 47k miles over 9 years. it is a comfortable& powerful. it has an attractive muscular design unlike all its competitors of its age as well as most now. not everyone wants a vehicle that is so similarly rounded as most the others. no wonder MB designed a boxier suv in the GLB. though the GLB is a turbo 4cyl fwd, making it less desirable imo.

Word of Caution on GLK’s

The issue with GLK’s is that the front CAM Sensors leak oil and will get worse with time. This is because as the oil level drops the sensors become brittle and start leaking due to lengthy in between oil changes. Easy to spot, open the hood, undo the clips to plastic cover in front of motor and check for oil leaks! In Houston we look at 31 GLKs before we found one with no leaks.

My Wife Loves It!

This car is the bomb. Mercedes got it right with this one. Unique styling turns heads constantly. Reliable, sexy, quick and classy. I drive the ML 350 but the GLK has me considering switching up.

Most Reliable Car Ever

Car never had a single problem, added to that it is very comfortable. Perfect in winter conditions and on icy and slippery roads. Doesn't require much maintenance.

Mercedes GLK Baby

The black 2013 GLK 350 is a beautiful SUV. It handles like a luxury sedan with the frame/trimming of a luxurious SUV. Love the exterior/interior overall. So far so good.

Most reliable car I've ever owned

It's a suv that drives like a sports car and this thing is amazing in the snow goes and stops in any weather conditions. Also it's small fits in the garage nice and can even pull my trailer.
