Just took delivery of my wife's GL 450 and I am blown away by how quiet, solid and comforting this vehicle is. It really rivals the S class. When I test drove a lesser equipped vehicle I liked how well the vehicle performed. I loaded this vehicle out and I am not sure why but the vehicle is even nicer than I remember. Acceleration is adequate, braking is superb and the ride is awesome. Looked at all the competing models but kept coming back to Mercedes. The price does escalate as you add options as it does with others. If you are in the market for an SUV you owe it to yourself to at least give the GL some consideration.

At the end of October 2012 we traded in my wife’s 2008 Mercedes 4matic (station wagon) for a new Mercedes 2013 GL550.
We love the exterior design of the car and the flexibility on the interior design with the third row seats.
The acceleration of the car is incredible-no problem merging onto the freeway or passing.
Gas mileage is not the cars strong suit but I did not expect it to be.
Now the bad, at 4000 miles the car needs new front rotors which are not yet a stocking item at my dealership-10 day wait! A In addition both side view mirrors are defective-drivers side is frosted and the passenger’s side has two stripped bolts off its backing plate.

I'm a bit of a car freak and after carefully considering the options (Q7, X5, Lexus) decided to wait for the newly designed Benz.
Wow, it took a long time, at least partially due to the options we elected.
We picked up the car on Tuesday and it is beautiful.
We did Arctic White with the special order Black dash/ carpet/headliner with Almond seats and door accents.
We also ordered matte wood.
It drives like a dream, is very comfortable and has outstanding build quality.
We love it and I really believe this one will keep us happy for the decade we plan to keep it.
