  • Surprisingly Fun - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    Im amazed at the people complaining about mileage during the break in period of the car driving in winter. Love this car-my last 2 were a Highlander and an x-3 this vehicle puts them to shame. Havent had any brake issues so far so good. Great experience!!!!

  • Easy to love and great value - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    I was about to buy a 2 year old X3 when it was sold on my way to the dealer. I went out the same day to shop around and ended up stopping in for my first time at MB. My wife and I saw the GLK for the first time (Jan 3rd, not on the road yet) and feel in love. I was also considering the c300 but the value is just not the same. The CUV provides a very roomy ride up front and room I can live with in the rear. I love the steel panels instead of the usual wood. That immediately tells me this is the car of now. It might be dated in a few years but right now it is hot. My brakes squeak a lot but the dealer has helped a bit. It is expensive to run but worth it if you want to look important

  • Disappointed - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    This vehicle has been a huge disappointment to me. It broke down and had to be towed in 20 degree temperatures when it had 1,100 miles. It needed a new gear shifter and the part took five days to find. Then the check engine light came on when it had 5,700 miles and it had a defective charcoal canister (a fuel problem) which had to be replaced. That part took three days to find. Fortunately the vehicle is still under warranty. I am going to be getting rid of it because I cannot trust it and I will never get another Mercedes-Benz again.

  • Euro Delivery For Savings! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    Our first MB product. Perfect size, solid and quick! We used the MB European Delivery Program (EDP) configuring the GLK to our exact specifications, saved 7% off MSRP and enjoyed MB hospitality throughout the delivery process. Our only regret was that a Diesel option was not available. Highly recommended vehicle and program.

  • 2010 with 64k has been a Great Car - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    We bought a 2010 with 28k and 2-years on it. Everything has been great. The only issue weve had existed when we bought it -- a worn "arm" in the front-end steering. The cost was relatively low to repair -- I think $150. No other repairs or problems to report. I have used MB to performed the 50k and 60k service, which was pricey and probably not worth the cost, but work keeps me busy and dont have time or the interest to mess with it. My wife loves the car and I have to admit that I really enjoy zipping around in it, too. It has great acceleration and turns on a dime. Getting in/out of our side-enterence garage is a piece of cake!! Well probably buy a low-miles 2015 in another few years.

  • Good little car - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    Good car. Very reliable. Bought with 8k mikes in 2011. Now have 90k. Never had anything other than oil changes done to it. I do NOT recommend the 20 inch wheels. They go through tires fast. Needs more storage. Dont like the angle of the backseat. Also dont like the curve of the backseat next to the door. Makes it hard for car seats to properly fit. It gets good mpg in flatter terrain. But in the small mountains of Arkansas, Im getting about 9mpg. Its a great compact SUV, very capable. Having to get rid of it due to my child needing more legroom. Would buy again if they could upgrade storage and me the backseat larger.

  • This is my cream puff - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    If I could adore a car, it would be this one. Everything is right. I have 0 problems. This is a solid car that performs well at both high and low speeds. I have a lead foot on the freeway, so my mileage is not the best (18 mpg) in the city. Unfortunately, it uses premium gas. At 80 the car handles just as well as it does at 25. The sound system is excellent. If I had to criticize the car, the blue tooth is not 100%. The interior controls are well thought out and easy to use. Spacious, comfortable, feels good, looks good. This is not my first Mercedes. I grew up with the brand and by far, this is my favorite.

  • One month in a GLK - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    Traded in our BMW X3. Overall, the GLK is a better SUV. It holds more cargo, has good power and never feels heavy. The biggest problem to report has to do with electronic problems- from the power seats to the rear latch to the A/C controls which shorted out. Already needed additional oil and the system check light alerted us of engine/EC problems. Build quality is low to average. The COMAND info system is good but not great:the knob is placed in a very odd position behind shifter. Why? The brakes are soft and fade from highway speeds. It needs premium gas and at 14.1 MPG average, it needs plenty of gas. There is no place for cell phones- only in small cup holders. Little back seat room.

  • Great Car - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    Fantastic car - good compromise between utility and fun to drive. Impeccable build quality. Very happy with the purchase.
