I've Found My Brand.
Excellent vehicle, all around. Sure, it has some weaknesses, but through and through this thing is an impeccably built tank. I've waited awhile to review this small SUV until living with it for some time (not quite 2 years now). I've previously owned Lexus, Saab, and several BMWs. The GLK demonstrates what Mercedes-Benz is all about, and this is (was) their 2nd least expensive model -- bodes well for the more expensive lines. I've had exactly one problem with the car in nearly 25,000 miles; a failed wheel bearing that the dealer had only ever seen twice before on the GLK. Let's not discuss how many times my SAAB saw the dealer in 25,000 miles, nor the BMW for that matter.
Best Car to Own!
I loved this car. I was in a really bad rear end accident and these headsets deployed and saved my neck! I am so sorry that the car is totalled! I loved this car so much! Very reliable. Been owner since the purchase and had to give up at 93k miles. Sad:(

Great car!
Bought certified from dealer with 16,000 miles. I have 82,000 now. A couple of small repairs under warranty. Since then, only repairs have been a worn suspension link, $250, and a new heater fan, $500. Maintenance is a bit high, but this car is a tank. Snow is no problem. A little small in the rear seats, but I almost never use that anyway. I plan on keeping it as long as possible.

Autobahn crusing (in real life)
Picked up a GLK 350 2WD on overseas delivery in Stuttgart in late March and drove it around southern Germany for a week. Autobahn crusing was effortless, but had to keep it down for breakin mileage. Car was quiet as a vault, controls were intuitive and easy to use. Visibility and comfort were remarkable. Rear luggage area was large enough on the floor for two HUGE suitcases (loaded to maximum airline capacity). Cannot wait for the car to arrive at the dealer. Would highly recommend overseas delivery. 2 for 1 Lufthansa airfare, 7% off the sticker, no destination charge, 2 free nights in $300 plus/night true luxury hotels, 15 days free insurance, full tank of gas, tour of factory, etc. Great.
Second thoughts
We loved the car until twice the car ESP system went haywire and the car lost power, shook like a washing machine and lost steering. Pretty scary. No explanation could be found, every computer test passed, yet this happened twice, Could lead to an accident. Trying to follow up with a second check up but I doubt the cause will show up.
