This is my 2nd GL450. Hated the old one because of its many problems, but what can one expect when you are buying one of the first new models on the road. After driving an Odyssey for 2 years we decided to go for it again and I couldn't be more pleased. They have definitely improved a lot of things since 07. The ride is awesome, love the 20" rims, better nav, better rear DVDs, keyless go. I really love the running boards to help the kids get in on their own. Gas mileage ok, but what do you expect from a powerful SUV. This is a keeper.

We have a 2009 GL 450. It drives pretty well, has lots of room, looks great and has good power. However it has several key issues that seem to be common to this car. 1- Air suspension system sucks. We have replaced all 4 struts, air bags, because it collapsed or leaked etc., All replaced but still squeaks going over bumps which you would not expect from an expensive car. 2- Power Steering system weak. Leaks and I've read lots of others where it has failed. 3- Interior components are a joke. All the seat belt buttons, seat fold down plastic covers, interior mouldings, vents are just crap. They all fall off or break very easily and the window switches will pull completely out if you lift up on them too hard. Overall I give it a 3. Not what I expect from Mercedes thats' for sure.

Perfect truck but poor technology

It is a pleasure to drive this car with comfort seating and the excellent engine it has - very quite and smooth/gliding ride which we love. However, on technology and interior space usage, it is quite poor - My Sienna 2006 had better technology and interior space usage than this truck.
Love It

This is my first Benz, dreamed for long time, before I test drive, I went test drive the FX50, Q7, and BMW, didn't look at the LX570, didn't any deal at the time, GX470 was too old. But IMO, i like the GL is much better than these. SO far its good, no problems at all. I love new NAV, only problem so far I find, when i am on call through bluetooth, if i turn off the car and open the door it will drop the call, it didn't do it on my 2008 G35. that is only -ive. when u buy this SUV, make sure u get P2 and appreance pkg, its very good

this car with close to 190,000 miles needs new belts before 120,000 allc control filter under hood needs to be cleaned out every 100,000 miles. the car rides great but never overload the rear with over 800 lbs of weight or air suspension will fail other vise this is a great card. Maintain it and it will be worth every penny.
