We had looked at and test drove the RX350 and Q5. We had decided on buying the Q5 when my wife saw an ad for the GLK. As soon as we got in the car and drove the first quarter mile I was sold. It is a solid, quiet, well built car. Although the GLK is not as big as the RX350 and Q5 I am 6 foot 240 lbs and have plenty of room whether in the driver, passenger, or back seat. Love the heated seats and COMMAND system. Noticed others have commented on brake and transmission problems. I have had none, brakes and trans are solid just like the rest of the car. What struck me was you do not have to raise your voice to be heard, even at freeway speeds. Beautiful car.

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.

One month in a GLK

Traded in our BMW X3. Overall, the GLK is a better SUV. It holds more cargo, has good power and never feels heavy. The biggest problem to report has to do with electronic problems- from the power seats to the rear latch to the A/C controls which shorted out. Already needed additional oil and the system check light alerted us of engine/EC problems. Build quality is low to average. The COMAND info system is good but not great:the knob is placed in a very odd position behind shifter. Why? The brakes are soft and fade from highway speeds. It needs premium gas and at 14.1 MPG average, it needs plenty of gas. There is no place for cell phones- only in small cup holders. Little back seat room.
I loved my car

I enjoyed every moment I owned this car. I bought it certified pre owned with 27 000 miles and drove it with just routine maintenance and regular synthetic oil changes every 5000 miles. Only had brakes and totors and tires to replace which is normal. at about 130000 miles I had to replace intake manifold because my engine light went on at a cost of about $1300.00. Soon after that the engine light goes on again on and off for a month or two. I had it checked and mechanic said maybe the computer has to rest itself after the repair. Being a patient person It sounded feasable that this could have been the problem ans so I continued to drive the vehicle. The check engine light keeps coming on and the code said that the Catalytic converter is bad. I priced the Cats and they cost $1800.00 apiece and there are tow in a GLK. Thats $3600.00 just to buy them and then the labor to install them. At 145000 miles I wasnt going to put another 5000.00 into the GLK. It was a 2010. But I loved this car and other than the Cats needing replacement the car was in mint condition. I didnt want any other type car because I loved this one so much. So, I traded it in for another 2014 GLK certified pre owned and love it to death. More technology and more features and i still am a GLK fan. Hopefully the CATS wont go on this one. Fingers crossed

2011 Even Better with AMG Package

Dollar for dollar, the best value out there for performance, luxury and fun factor. Now with 2011 AMG package, its looks match its performance. And somehow the 20" rims with the AMG rider smoother than my 2010. Great SUV. Don't let the smaller size fool you. It holds a lot of cargo, yet remains nimble enough to let you think it's a sports car.
