  • Comfort and Utility - - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    After four satisfying years in a BMW 3- series, I decided to mix it up a bit. After test-driving the Toyota Venza, BMW X3, VW Tiguan, Ford Edge, Acura RDX, and Porsche Cayenne, it took only 15 minutes in the GLK to make up my mind. This is a chiseled, tough- looking little CUV that drives serenely and quietly, but that also pours on the coal when needed. I went with a loaded version that includes leather, rear-seat DVD, tow package, and Premium One + Nav, and I truly feel like Im in a strong, beautifully- made, and multi-use vehicle that is small enough to handle like a car and big enough to carry chairs to our storage facility. Its not an inexpensive car, but doesnt feel like one either!

    Best looking small SUV out there. Price is very reasonable. Smooth ride found in E class. I love the true dual exhaust.

  • Two years later and still loving it! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class

    We have driven it 14,000 miles so far over the past two years-it has been flawless in every way. Feels solid like it was carved out of one piece of steel, handles great and looks terrific. Average about 19mpg in town-highway is a better.

    I love it. I just got a White one with the 20 inch wheels multimedia package and premium one package. It is so nice but I had it for three days and I already need to get gas and I only drove 20 miles to work.

  • Comfortable but not reliable - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class

    I loved that GLK350 was so smooth, it is my first Mercedes. My SUV was purchase on 5/21/2009, and at 90 miles the radio/command center would not power on. So I brought the SUV to the dealer they checked it out for a day and said there was nothing wrong. A week later at 110 miles the Tire Pressure Monitoring system malfunctioned. And would report tire pressure issues. Now it just says Tire Pressure Monitoring system is inoperable. And the radio still dies. I have brought the car back to dealership and they are looking into these issues. Its been a day and still they dont know whats wrong :( If you are considering buying GLK350 you should think twice. As the build quality is sub par.

  • Comfortable Capable Cruiser; Unreliable - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    Traded in a leased MB ML350 and decided to downsize now that the kids are driving alone. Had several unresolved issues with the ML but decided to give MB a fresh chance. Overall, my wife and I enjoy driving this right sized SUV. Im 62" but I fit comfortably and the position is good although rear seat comfort and room is cramped. Large double sunroof is nice touch. Nice interior design but cheap/loose bits have surfaced in less than 6 months 7k miles. Fuel is acceptable at 17MPG average. Reliability has been horrific- two individual instances of electrical failure in the stability control system/ABS/ESP. Navigation sys was replaced. Climate control failure, was waiting 3 weeks for part.

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

    I tested several small SUV before I bought this car. I have to admit it i love driving this car. The GLK is very fun to drive, classy and it handle very well. The onlything is that the leg room in the back is kind of small. I wish they add a couple more inch in the back.

  • From a C to a G -GLK that is! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
    By -

    I recently purchased the GLK. In the process of buying the car I test drove everything. It took me months to make up my mind. I should mention the criteria for choosing this car. Size, Speed, Comfort, Visibility,road noise, interior noise and I would be lying if I didnt say status. I came from a C280, so the controls were all placed in a familiar location. The ride is smooth and quick to handle. I should also mention I sold my VW Toureg. That VW handled the road beautifully but it was too big for my size (f 56" 140 lbs.) also every-time I turned around the battery went dead or the tire pressure warning would appear on the dash! So I wanted 1 vehicle to do all that and handle NE winters-

    This is an awesome car. I traded my 2007 GL 450 on this car in January 2009. We live in Chicago and this car is far better for city driving. This car is head and shoulders above everything else in the class and, in my opinion, many larger SUVs. Very maneuverable, great seating position and views all around. Acceleration is solid, but the chassis is amazing. As the Edmunds reviewers noted, this car is as solid as a brick. It inspires lots of confidence in all driving situations. Surprisingly good in the snow, even with the 20" wheels. The C- Class Nav/Audio system is much better than the older system in my GL. HK Sound is superb and the rear seat DVD system is much improved.
