Review

I purchased the GLK 350 4matic 3 weeks ago and traded in my Lexus RX330 fromo 2004. That was the biggest mistake I could have made. My Lexus never needed to go into the shop for repairs beside the regular maintenance. My GLK has already been iin the service dept 3 times in 3 weeks. Maybe I bought a lemon and if the problems persist I will be filing for lemon law. I have had instrument problems, electrical issues and some of the fit and finish has not been up to par. I just wish I could turn back time so I didnt trade in my other car.

Favorite Features

Honestly the negatives ive had to deal with make any favorite feature worthless.

Suggested Improvements

Please improve quality control.

Best Deal Out There

Review

It was the new Volvo that stops iyself, the new Lexus that flies over traffic, or the 'old' BMX X3. Drove them all and liked them all. The Benz was the best deal, hands down. Drives and feels like a Mercedes, which only a Benz feels like. Stereo, Navigation, Bluetooth all excellent. Highly recommend.

Favorite Features

Navigation, stereo, driving feel, comfort and quality.

Suggested Improvements

Keyless entry, move the cruise control stalk. Until you get used to it you will hit it every time you put on the directional signal.

Review

I'm 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. Haven't had any brake issues so far so good. Great experience!!!!

Favorite Features

Driving fun! Feels like a sport sedan!

Suggested Improvements

Wish I would have bought the nav

Review

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 I'm 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. It's not an inexpensive car, but doesn't feel like one either!

Favorite Features

Advanced electronics package including hard-drive NAV, 6 GB storage for music, rain-sensing wipers, and adaptive headlights; the strong, masculine profile and front end; the precision of the fit and finish; the decent cargo capacity; the mega- sunroof, the sense of security; the smell of the leather!

Suggested Improvements

I love this car, BUT: Gas mileage isn't great so far (about 15 in the city, but 21 on the freeway); give us a rear-area cargo cover (this is now a $260 option!!); leg room in back is tight; front console storage areas are strangely shaped and not very large.

Handles & drives better then the Best of them. Truly car like with all the luxuries of cars costing much MORE!I gave up my Audi A5 with NO Regrets! .9 interest rate sealed the deal!!

Favorite Features

Navigation is up there with the best of cars. Logic7 sound system fantastic! Power hatch. Not to big & no to small. Led turn signals give the right touch!

IMPRESSIVE RIDE!!!

Written by: Kevin on 04/08/2009

2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class GLK350 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 7A)

Review

I recently purchased the GLK350 after an exhaustive search for a new vehicle. I researched and drove Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Nissan but none compare to this vehicle. The GLK is comparably priced to a fully optioned Toyota or Honda but much more fun to drive and its not like every other vehicle on the road. I am not sure why others are getting such low gas mileage (driving style???) but I am getting 19-21 in the city as as much as 25 on the highway and I "get on it" from time to time. I didn't get a fully optioned GLK. (no multi media PKG) but im impressed. The ride is very nice and as of yet, no problems, (4000 miles on ODO). Love the looks and the "solid feel". A real hit in my book.

Favorite Features

Panoramic sunroof, cell phone interface, comfortable ride, SOLID as rock feel.

Suggested Improvements

Move the cruise control lever

Review

My dealer found one on the boat in my color, loaded and at 0.9% APR. They will take $2300 off MSRP with no problem (dealer prep can be knocked down too). The running boards look nice and prevent door dings, but are a detriment to getting in and out. MB won't be making any GLKs until June that will have the automatic fold function for the rear view mirrors. The mirrors are supposed to be heated automatically at low ambient temps, but will that be available in June as well, or does that work now? When talking to the Finance guy he will ask about other options like paint protection etc. He will knock off about $200 from each and everything because he gets credit (points) for these additions.

Favorite Features

Unique Looks and Style. The features and quality are nice, although, all auto manufactures could/ should listen more to their U.S. customers.

Suggested Improvements

There should should be better side molding to prevent door dings and thus the running boards would not be needed. There should be automatic folding rear view mirrors! There should be lumbar support for the front seat passenger too!

Beats the X3 by a mile (or three)!

Review

Just having gotten rid of our 2 year lease on the X3, this is a delightful vehicle! It's been 100% trouble free for over 2500 miles and 2 months now...WAY better ride and handling than the X3....(my fillings are staying in my teeth!) Contrary to others' opinions, I think the build quality and finish on the interior are very nice....and the MB-Tex is great stuff....who needs leather!? Our first MB.....and WON'T be our last if this a good indicator of their current line up!

Favorite Features

The rear auto lift gate, weather band on the radio, 110v outlet.

Suggested Improvements

Better color selction

Review

I drove the Volvo XC60, the Audi Q5, the VW Toureg. None handled as well, or had the build quality of the Mercedes. Oddly enough, the Mercedes was the lowest price. I have had my GLK for 2 weeks. It is a pleasure to drive, and, unlike some other reviewers, I do not have any complaints about the gas mileage (I am getting around 20mpg). My previous car (and Audi A4) only got 22. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

Favorite Features

How it handles on the road: tight steering, easy on the bumps.

Suggested Improvements

A cargo cover for the way-back would be nice (it does not come with one in the US, although I think it does in Canada). But really nothing to complain about.
