This car is simply flawless. I have yet to find fault with it-The seats are wonderful, the ride is excellent, and the handling is amazing for such a large SUV. Test drove Q7, R Class, Escalade, Escalade ESV, and QX, only the ESV had a roomier third row, and the q7's 3rd row was smaller then my wife's BMW x3. The Escalade's dash was a little nicer but it looked to flashy and no fold flat third row. The heated and cooled cup holders were very nice though and wish this car had them.Overall this car is perfect, and would highly recommend to anyone with a large family. Its served mine of 7 and 2 dogs very well, so well in fact I'm selling my wife's x3 for one of these. Will be buying 2 more in a year.
Never again

If you looking for fancy and not reliable you can count on this car. We didn't even have the car a year or have driven it enough for the issues to happen. Be careful with purchasing this truck. Since we received the car many issues happen with the engine which is terrible. More cost go into designing the car then actually focusing on making sure people stay with their purchase.

We absolutely loved our GL350 when it was working and really wanted to love Mercedes-Benz; however, here are some of the repair challenges we had to deal with in only 100k miles of ownership. All 4 air struts timing chain replacement Timing chain tensioner failure/replacement Engine mounts Torque converter NOX sensor DEF filter failure/replacement Urea Fluid heater/gas tank replacement Coolant hose leak/replacement two engine oil line leaks Constant grey sludge being dropped from the vehicle on the driveway almost every bulb that produces light in the front of the vehicle. 3 batteries i'm sure there is something else i've left out We just cant justify spending additional money on the repairs at this point and Mercedes USA is no help so we had to get rid of her. We have moved on to Tesla ( i own a 120K mile Model S that has been an absolute dream to own and drive). We just purchased another one. Please don’t buy this vehicle or anything from Mercedes... You have been warned!

Goodbye Audi

2011 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class GL350 BlueTEC 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 7A)

I had been driving an Audi a8l (2007) and a Ford escape hybrid (2008) I wanted to consolidate to 1 vehicle--it needed to be an upscale, fuel efficient, and fairly large SUV (I haave 3 dogs and no way were they getting into the Audi). I found that in 3 years my Audi had taken a $58,000 depreciation hit! Still I liked the q7 tdi, and had never owned a Mercedes--I was so put out by Audi, that I went across the street and fell in love with the gl 350 bluetec. Its sumptuous and amazingly comfortable interior, quiet, quiet ride, beautiful rear visibility and increased cargo over the q7 sold me. I love this car! I give it a thumbs up and [violative content deleted] to Audi!
Delightful Improvements

I was delighted with significant improvements in Mercedes GL450 in the last few years. The firm seats are comfortable for both short and long distance driving. As a previous Land Cruiser owner, I am mighy pleased with the third row seats in GL450 as compared to Land Cruiser. It was a very simple push-button to set up the third row seats.
