Just took delivery of our 2010 GL450 - Did TONS of research, priced out every local dealer, looked at many other brands and vehicles over the past year (yes, i am thorough. We are SO happy we got the MB. I read all these reviews too - It deserves the 9.8 it is rated. Car is beautiful, drives like a dream and hauls 'you know what' on the road. Fits my 3 kids, car seats and all our stuff (which is a lot!). The voice command radio and nav is terrific, not too hard to use like others have said (you just need to get used to it).Love the automatic seats in the 3rd row, love th satilite NAV (not a disk that needs to be updated),love the bluetooth linked phone - Buy this car -you won't regret it
Good buy

Have had the car for 2 months now P2 Appearance package. No problems. Technology takes getting used to. Great drive, nice ride. Kids love the rear ent system. Luxurious interior. Definitely a vast improvement in feel and comfort from MDX to a Mercedes.

After coming from 2011 "American" Escalade (Made in Russia)I have realized that I have been missing out on the Best SUV for the last 4 years. Since 2006 I have been buying a Cadillac Escalade for me, and a ESV for my wife. The GL provides a replacement for both. The third row is larger then the ESV's yet the car itself is smaller then the regular Escalade. Its far more easy to navigate around town, provides a better ride,has more passing power,and looks better in and out. Test drove the new Infiniti QX and the Lexus Lx. The third row seat in both of them were far smaller, and didnt handle as good. The Qx did have a nicer center row r, but was inferior elsewhere. Very Pleased overall.
Not an SUV guy and I LOVE it!

This was to be my wife's car, as I have my BMW 650 - yes, quite a contrast in style to my demise. Great driving car, roomy, responsive and OK - I can open up the Sun roof to get that convertible feel, as I do on my 650.
Diesel Fun

I always wanted a turbo-diesel and the solid MB 350 Bluetec is an ideal vehicle for hauling people or material. Mileage is better than advertised and features are terrific. The deal I received was great and we really enjoy this terrific SUV, made in Alabama.
Good

Outstanding build quality and looks. This SUV has no body roll around high speed turns which is amazing for a vehicle of this weight. It really does stay glued to the road. Love the new chromed out roof racks, fog lights and skid plates that now come standard. Consider 3 zone climate when ordering. Standard seats are outstanding so don't waste money on leather. Premium 1 package is perfect.
WARNING STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THE MB.GL 550

We own a 2009 SL and now the new 2010 GL Bluetec. This SUV has many of the excellent quality features of the SL. Get the P2 package ! You really want keyless start and HK sound system. In City the car is actually more fuel efficient than reported 21-22 miles per gallon and 22- 24 on Highway. This is the best SUV on the market !
7 Months More Than Satisfied

We bought a 2011 GL-450 with 149K, one owner, and a CarFax showing all maintenance completed like clockwork at a Mercedes dealer for thr life of the vehicle. Some interesting maintenance history (replace fuse box, etc.) and we did go in understanding the “pay-to-play” concept that comes with a Mercedes. We’ve budgeted $80 p/month for repairs hoping the sinking find stays ahead of any problems. That being said, we’ve had the truck now for just over 7-1/2 months, have had no mechanical issues, and so far have over $800 in the maintenance sinking fund. We’ve driven the truck just over 5K and we have been really enjoying it. The truck is like new. All equipment works perfectly, the body has barely a small scratch anywhere and no bumps. The white paint is luminescent on a sunny day, the leather seats are infinitely adjustable and so comfortable, the engine has plenty of power, the standard sound system is very good, and it is a pleasure to drive. It is a very agile vehicle for being as large and heavy as it is, rides smooth always, and has very minimal road noise. For 7 months, our GL-450 has been our dream car.
