Great quality build car machine

This SUV meets and exceeds our needs. It is loaded with features and options more that what we have had before in any other vehicle so we are really happy. This is an expensive vehicle brand new so we have to get a used one usually to enjoy higher level premium benefits of this luxury car. Also buying used you save money due to depreciation. The downside is that you risk buying something that might have hidden defects, etc. That dealer might not have disclosed to you. Anyway, it’s a bargain for what you get.

Just ordered one!

We were looking for a seven passenger AWD SUV that could actually accommodate seven adults. The Q7 rear seats are kids only and the 3.0 twin turbo engine was just adequate. The Escalade drives horribly and is a monument to useless bling. The GLS 550 was the solution. Big enough for seven adults with still room left over for luggage. Excellent access to the third row with one button push. Though some of the dash controls are not up to S class standards the rest of the interior is more than up to the luxury "test". Up to date tech all around. The engine provides acceleration that puts some pony cars to shame. Handling with the adaptive sway bars is unbelievable for a vehicle that weighs almost three tons, on par with some sporty mid size sedans. Though expensive at more than 100K it is still competitive pricewise with the Escalade, Lexus LX and infinity Q80, all of which are much dynamically inferior truck chassis, not to mention slower and just as thirsty.

Great car, luxury with room to haul.

This is a fantastic car and room for a large family. Very luxurious and still lots of space for passengers. Drives like the E-class and handles superbly. Everything about it is fantastic.
