Great cargo capacity. Usable third row seat. Quiet, great on long road trip. Getting close to 14mpg. Still like this vehicle, but sold it due to ever increasing cost of repairs

Very good car, got it used certified few years ago with 17K miles, tires lasted 30k miles, replaced them with Michelin and the ride is much better, now with 66 K miles old only brakes oil and tires were needed, love the ride, the only complain is the paint on the steering wheel is peeling off, I got one from ebay and is brand new.. good quality SUV, dealer service here in Florida. My 2008 GL320 diesel came out to be a nightmare after 100K miles, but also was a good car. paint is excellent. good suspension. had an issue with my engine light after the 60K miles service, took few days but was covered under the CPO extended, driver side lower seat cover, some crack on the vinyl, had to have it replaced, was also covered by my service adviser under warranty. Not an economical car to own without extender dealer warranty and prepaid maintenance.

Very poor material used; things started falling apart in the first week. Brakes were squeaking right away.I took it to dealership 7 times in first 4 months. Moldings were falling apart, and rear door molding started breaking apart in th first three months. The lever of the rear folding seat broke in first few weeks. Having driven a Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470, the quality of this car was nowhere near that of those cars. Bought in Sept 2012 and sold after having driven for 14,000 miles in 2014

I have experienced seemingly unending electronic failure issues with only 5,000 miles on vehicle: Failure to go into sleep mode causing dead battery;towed to dealer 200 mi. away, MB refused to return to my location; When vehicle is locked, one door, although locked, causes alarm and will open if handle is touched, even if EasyGo key is not present; Adaptive High Beam headlight failure; Rear tailgate opens with driver door occasionally; When spraying the car with water, while washing, doors lock and unlock continually if you have key in pocket; circuit board replaced, issue continues- another appt. made Where is the quality control?

This truck is wonderfully understated. It is safe, powerful, fast & luxurious. It handles amazingly well for a 5k lb. SUV. Our 2013 model has been absolutely problem free with no repairs other that routine maintenance. Fit & finishes are excellent and we just love our MB 450 GL.
