Certified pre-owned from Mercedes-Benz

My wife has a 2020 GLE450, which she leased in 2019 and decided to buy at the lease end in 2022. So, after my BMW X5 lease ended on 10/2023, I decided to get a GLE, too. However, I got the certified pre-owned GLE350 because I do mostly city driving, and I already know the power of the GLE450, which we rarely enjoy due to city driving. The GLE350 is smooth and drives flawlessly in the city. I have been driving this GLE350 for almost five months, and I can tell it has little to envy the GLE450 in the city. I highly recommend the GLE350 if you live in the town and do not have open roads to floor the pedal. If you want to buy one, I recommend you spend a little more and get a Mercedes-Benz certified pre-owned or a non-MB dealer one with a regularly serviced history per MB recommendations. Otherwise, you might experience the nightmare stories you read about when people buy used MBs that the person who leased it did not change the oil or used regular fuel that wreaks havoc on the highly tuned modern turbo engine.

Windshield wipers are horrible

I have a 4 month old gle 450 decked out not AMG. I have gone to dealership twice already due to a wiprblades skipping all over my windshield. So far it has been improved by about 50 % over when I got it, however, on a luxury vehicle like mercedes, those things should be flawless. I have driven many different cars, and I never had experience like that. I hope they do something about it, or I'm getting Lexus as soon as the new model comes out. And I'm a Mercedes guy.

Annoying distractions

First month I had it, the entire MBUX infotainment system went dark and had to be replaced. From the beginning the driver door has had a wind whistle and the wipers stutter across the windshield. Lately the map refused to download, "please install compatible map chip," and the system warns that the camera is out, disabling the automatic braking, etc. Spent last week in the shop for B service, 3 recalls, plus these items. Service dept. said unable to replicate the camera problem, which is still occurring. I didn't even bother with the wind whistle and the map problem may have been solved with the day-long software download. Waiting for it to rain to see if the new wipers help. Should I return to dealer for the camera problem or just deal with it til end of lease this year. Oh yeah, this is the top of line GLE580 twin turbo V8, so the trim level is not an indication of any higher quality. Similarly equipped BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, and Range Rover Sport are much more expensive. Thinking of trying the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee. Was considering the new Acura MDX S-type turbo, but per reviews, the AC is bad, plus the 3 MDX's I had seemed to attract rocks into the windshield.

63s AMG Power!

Great performance and that engine sound! Technology is excellent and may be intimidating at times. Seat comfort is wonderful and legroom ample. Visibility is good all round. The front grill of the AMG and lines are robust! Steering is precise enough for daily driving with a fair turning ratio. Audiophiles will love Burmester sound system! Two minor issues are the floating ride, even in Sports Plus, and unpredictable gear changes with spirited driving. However, this is a 2.5 tonne SUV and not a McLaren :-)
