Excellent SUV worth every penny (it's a hotrod) until you get between 10K and 14K miles, then you realize brakes need replacement. Yes, pads and rotors need to be replaced (light turns on) and there is no way to replace just pads. Cost $2400 for front and back brakes. $250 for 10K mile service, $800 for 40K mile and $1200 for 50K mile. Great SUV but very high maintenance $$$

This car seems very well made; its a tank. MB uses materials that seem very durable, even if unusual and hard to clean. This SUV is a good size, big but not huge. The front seats aren't quite as comfortable as I expected but not bad. The SatNav is easy to use and up to date with lots of search options. Connectivity is top notch, USB, iPad, WiFi Hotspot, and more (MB is a button push away like OnStar). Lots of technology innovations that you wouldn't know about unless someone told you. The 2nd, 3rd row seats are very easy to raise and lower with a push of a button. Lots of convenience items, like 120 V outlet, full size spare with jack, electric park brake, push button/lever shifter. If you want to keep the price down you will likely have to special order which is what I did (2-3 month wait). I can't comment on the advanced techno features like Park Assist, Lane Keeping, Night Vision, etc. since I didn't get those features. The vehicle is heavy but has enough power to accelerate well from start (with a lot of gas pedal). This car is designed to save gas and it does that well (e.g. Eco Start/Stop). I love the Brake Hold feature! Also has first ever eco-friendly tires from Pirelli that seem pretty good plus quiet. The car drives remarkably well and is well mannered when parking. Perfect soccer mom car with some luxury and glitz. I look forward to driving again. My last car was a Shelby GT500 which was fun but tiring compared to this car. Not liking the bare aluminum running boards so much. After several years they will look nasty if you don't take good care of them. This car is the widest in its class so lots of room. I compared a LOT before buying this one. Rumor: MB will be cutting supply to the US.

Ok we have had 4 of these cars just about to buy the fifth and they are one of the best cars you will ever have. Let's start with performance, acceleration is great reaching 100kph in just 4.9 seconds bearing in mind that this beast weighs a hefty 2500kg's. AMG package comes with performance breaks so no complaints there. The way these beast handle is amazing they are massive vehicles yet they cling to the corners like you wouldnt believe. We take ours on road trips and their favorite speed is at 260kph if u take off the speed limiter you can get these things out to about 320kph. I love the way these cars change gears it's so smooth and how could a car like this be bad when it sounds so good. Oh and the turbo whistle...who doesnt love it. The engine is a 5.5l v8 bi-turbo with 760 Nm's of torque and 410kw @ 5750 rpm. The comfort in the GL 63 is fantastic the front seats have heating, cooling and massage. The second row has heating. Sound proofing is great in these cars so much so I need to wind down the windows to hear that epic v8 roar. Overall ride comfort is exceptional especially when in comfort mode feels like you are riding on air. It is a spacious car with a spacious boot when the third row is layed flat. The interior design is sleek and luxurious with beautiful leather and trims. Controls are easy to navigate and the voice command setting works like a dream allowing you to navigate and make calls without your hands leaving the steering wheels. The interior quality is terrific with minimal wear and tear. Safety is one of the best features of this car because you know you arent just buying it to look pretty and show off you are also buying it to protect your family as best as possible especially in the case of an accident. They are very sturdy and safe cars with features such as auto seat belt tightening. Headlights are auto dimming which is great. Parking is a breeze in the GL63 with parking sensors and a 360° camera parallel parking is even easier with the auto parallel park feature. Overall an excellent car for safety. Entertainment is good with built in screens that play DVDs, TV and news, also comes with pre paired bluetooth headphones. Comes with built in navigation system which is very user friendly. Bluetooth is easy to use also with a "connect last device " feature which makes it easy to pair devices that are used often. Has a few USB ports that are easily accessible and good for charging phones or other devices. Air con works like a dream perfect for any season. From personal experience the repair frequency is not high. The dealerships are fantastic especially when the car is under warranty with extremely good mechanics we only ever use the proper Mercedes dealership for servicing and repairs the dealerships have great customer service also when purchasing the car you always get gifts like Mercedes chocolate, hats, wine, umbrellas etc. The engine, transmission and electronics are all exceptionally reliable as is the rest of the car. Great overall value for money highly recommended the investment. The Gl 63's rivalries dont even compare
