My First Mercedes!
Loving this purchase! Comfort and class galore! This is going to be FUN! Update...engine light keeps coming on (gas cap?). Took it on a 5 hr road trip and it developed a very annoying, high pitched whine when I drove over 70mph. (Idle pulley?) Going to have to take in for service already. Hope this is not setting a maintenance trend!

Run flat tires = rough ride
I've had this SUV for a month now and have put close to 1000 miles on it. It's checks all the boxes for me with one notable exception, it rides like a truck over the slightest bumps. One of the things I wanted in a car, now that I'm older, was a smooth ride and on a good road, it delivers, but once there are any imperfections on a road, the MCB GLC 300 turns into a bouncy house. Edmunds lauds the ride quality and I wonder would did the review because I'm here to tell you, the ride is barely passable. Edited to add: Run flat tires are the culprit and cause the rough ride. Yes, I took a test drive but on the route the salesman directed, which did not give me any cause for alarm with the ride. I intend to replace the Pirelli Scorpions with another brand, probably Goodyear ComfortTred.

MB Customer Service after the Sale is Terrible!
Make sure you are well aware of the tires that come on your new Mercedes! I bought the GLC43 AMG new 5 months ago. This was during the hot weather in my area so the summer tires that come on the car didn't show their ugly side until it started getting cooler outside. Now that it's winter here in South Carolina, when the I turn the wheel sharply, such as when parking or backing out of a parking space, a terrible loud clunk is heard. Also, if there is any difference in the pavement height, such as backing out of my driveway onto the street, the front tires seem to hop along. I took the car into the dealership and requested that the service manager take a look at it to determine the noise. It's so loud, anyone else in the parking lot will hear it also! The service manager said it was a "design flaw" and that all the AMGs do this and even said the AMG63s are even worse. He said that it should be corrected when I replace the tires...what no one told me when I bought the car was any tire that isn't a Continental, Pirelli, or some Dunlop SUMMER tires won't fit. Only between 9000 and 12000 miles is expected from this high performance tire so that means that I'll be spending around $1500 at least twice a year for tires! I contacted MB USA and was told to have the dealership send in an invoice for replacement tires and they'd see what they could do to get them changed out. It came with the Continental tires and after 6500 miles, their showing wear and since they're summer tires, they have no traction in wet weather. Typically, I can't drive over 50mph on the freeway in the rain due to fear of hitting SMALL patches of water and having the car swerve violently to the side from hydroplaning. When I talked to the service advisor at the dealership about the loud clunking noise, he said, "Yeah, we know about that. Most people just get used to it." Wait a minute...I spent over $70,000 to deal with an issue that is a possible design flaw/safety issue, and that's the best answer you can come up with?! MB USA Corporate told me as far as the noise is concerned, they're not aware of anything that is their fault (look at forums and you'll see this is a common complaint of thousands of people around the world with the AMGs) and I was told that, "I should have been made aware of the short life of the summer tires by the salesman." The lady who I talked with told me I saw the car before I bought it so I should have known about the continuous replacement of tires. I asked about the possibility of having the 21" wheels replaced with the standard 20" wheels and was told that it would cost around $8000 to do this and they wouldn't do that since it isn't a manufacturer's defect. I really think putting 21" wheels for aesthetic reasons on a car that is designed to have 20" wheels is a design flaw! Doing research on tire replacement before purchasing a car and the yearly cost involved isn't something that I expect to do. This is the third new Mercedes that I've purchased and I trusted the brand before now. I will definitely consider another brand before the next new car comes home with me and I suggest if you're considering the AMG, stay away! I test drove the GLC 300 before this one and should have stuck with a tried and true model.

So far, so perfect!
I just turned in my 2016 E350 (sport) and needed to get a vehicle with more ground clearance, so I leased the 2019 GLC 4Matic. This vehicle is quieter and rides better than the E350. It’s the perfect daily commuter. It’s got plenty of power for my needs and is easy to maneuver around town. I feel like I’m wrapped in a sweet little cocoon. While it’s a very comfortable vehicle with lots of important few

Bought this 2019 MB GLC 300 4Matic new. Car drives very well. I find it is not comfortable on drives over 400 miles no matter what seat position. My 2012 truck has more comfort. Fuel use is ok. OEM tires didn't even make 15,000 mile before they were past the TWBI, and we don't drive fast at all. The service cost to maintain it is horrible. The Lexus 350 the wife had before this MB was far cheaper to maintain. With almost same options. R/S Scotty
