  glk tank - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By glk girl - May 4 - 2:00 am

  Ive only had it for a short time but so far it is a blast to drive. It feels very solid, handles like a sports car, reeks of quality and durability, and is actually not too bad on gas. Not as good as my Eclass, but still decent for a truck. I wanted an SUV type of a vehicle but not a vehicle that was too big or too clumsy. This is the perfect car for me and just makes sense. The utility of an SUV with the handling of a sports car and not a major gas hog like other larger SUVs. The cabin is extremely quiet while driving in varied road conditions, and thats even with the 20 inch AMG wheel package. The navigation is easy to use and the sound system is fantastic.

  Its my Wifes Car...But I always want the keys! - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By amickey - March 13 - 11:49 am

  As the title says I love this crossover. We bought for my wife trading up from a Camry for the MB build quality, cache, edgy looks, vast options list, performance, & impeccable safety. I, on the other hand, love the sportiness, muscular lines, AMG styling & wheels and MB build. Another importance for us was that this crossover stands out in a crowd of blobbed aero shaped vehicle that really are just miniature wannabe of their bigger brethren. Class doesnt mean following the herd.

  Back to MB with a GLK ! - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By GVR - July 3 - 2:00 am

  Our family now has 2 reliable MB vehicles. My last car was a Porsche up until I purchased the GLK. So happy to get rid of that unreliable money pit Porsche ! Dont get me started on the dealerships! Mercedes Benz = great cars and excellent service. 2 ingredients that are essential for motoring happiness. GLK is just a really well thought out, comfortable, practical, solid, quality SUV. Loaded with all options except for the rear video. I enjoy every minute in my Mobile Office / Hockey Dad / Night Out / Off to the cottage, fits the bill on all accounts. Including the bank!

  Great SUV! - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By JJB060797 - July 3 - 2:00 am

  We have owned the GLK-350 for 2 weeks now having moved up from an 06 E-350 sedan. I must say this SUV was indeed a step up. I am 6 3" tall and found getting in and out of the E-350 sometimes a challenge, but much prefer the entry and exit of the GLK-350. At cruising speeds of 65 mph, there is very little, if any, engine noise and no air noise at all. The SUV is built solid. This SUV is equipped with the P1 package, Multimedia, and AMG appearance package. It is beautiful and even though we have had it only 2 weeks, we are still very much pleased with our purchase.

  I love this SUV! - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By Fourth MB - October 22 - 10:00 am

  This is a great little SUV. Its built in Germany and is as solid as a rock. It handles with precision and has a smooth ride thats comparable to a Mercedes sedan. I test drove it back to back with the C-class and liked the ride in the GLK even better. I like that it doesnt look like every SUV on the road; its distinctive styling makes it easy to find in a parking lot.

  This Benz is a Babe - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By Mr. M. - September 19 - 2:00 am

  First, I am not into labels, so the MB brand name was not top of mind when I discovered this gem. It has an incomparably smooth ride, is very pleasing on the eye and is loaded with great features at a reasonable price (as far as luxury vehicles go). Just got back from the desert and on a very windy day, this solid vehicle didnt sway or feel pushed. It has good pick- up and I cant wait to finish reading the manuals to learn all the gadgets. Looking forward to a long relationship.

  Autobahn crusing (in real life) - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By mhoffman2 - June 3 - 9:10 pm

  Picked up a GLK 350 2WD on overseas delivery in Stuttgart in late March and drove it around southern Germany for a week. Autobahn crusing was effortless, but had to keep it down for breakin mileage. Car was quiet as a vault, controls were intuitive and easy to use. Visibility and comfort were remarkable. Rear luggage area was large enough on the floor for two HUGE suitcases (loaded to maximum airline capacity). Cannot wait for the car to arrive at the dealer. Would highly recommend overseas delivery. 2 for 1 Lufthansa airfare, 7% off the sticker, no destination charge, 2 free nights in $300 plus/night true luxury hotels, 15 days free insurance, full tank of gas, tour of factory, etc. Great.

  Awsome for young parents. - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By eleonore - June 3 - 8:45 am

  This car is just awsome! Much more fun to drive then station wagons and much more cool then mini vans. Perfect visibility while driving, fab handling and safety features. Perfectly sized family car for one or two children family. Design is just pure awsome Bauhause-ish. Just perfect marriage of form and function. Priced like smaller WV, yet provides all that Mercedes has to offer. Absolute head turner.

  First Mercedes - 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
  By 1st MB - April 3 - 10:00 am

  Was looking to down size our SUV and found the GLK a great option AMG package set it off! Drives like a sports car with feel of an SUV. Ive been a truck/American muscle guy my whole life and the GLK might have won me over!
