I love this car. It feels like it's been carved from a solid block of steel. Absolutely nothing rattles. I've had this car for a year and nothing has gone wrong with it. It has great acceleration and it handles the road well for an SUV. If anything, the steering is too lively when you first drive it. I get 22 mpg on the highway (80 mph)and 16 mpg in the city. Mine is black with the 19" wheels and the dealer threw in tinted windows. The car looks so much better in person than it does in photographs. I test drove a Lexus, Land Rover, and BMW. I liked this SUV better. I have read other people here complain about brakes, but my brakes have been fine. It's done everything I've asked of it.
Solid, Small, Classy SUV

I have had the GLK for about 1 week now after driving a BMW X5. It has everything..I wanted something smaller in AWD/SUV that handled like a sports car, GLK is smaller, drives like a car but you sit a bit higher. This is definitely a smaller SUV than a BMW X3. Handles well, not as smooth driving as X5, but much better drive than a BMW X3 which I also have owned. Takes bumps well, looks classy and different than everything else in a SUV on the road. Navigation is easy to control, bells and whistles are plentiful but not too difficult once you review the manual. Gas mpg about 18 for city/hwy mixed driving. I'm 5'3" so getting in and out is easy for me which was an important consideration.

Pros - handles exceptionally. - amazing acceleration and braking. - high quality materials for the interior with nice layout. - lovely interior with sun/moon roof. - good and comfy 7 speed transmission. Cons: - very outdated infotainment system. - at high speeds, air leaks through windows/doors causing noises are most common in these vehicles due to its boxy design and shape. - small fuel tank. - wondering why it came with no rear sensors or camera for parking assist. - bad resale value. - don’t expect a pocket friendly maintenance bill, this is MB. No major issue for me till the moment, just changed the engine mounts, and I will change the boot kit but these are expected for a car at that age.

Should have my mechanic check it first, or maybe did a test drive on the freeway to actually test the handling since I had to bring it to get fixed after just 2 weeks after purchase because of shaking on the steering wheel, and it was the front suspension that needed fixing. In addition, after a month the engine light came on, and there is a leak coming from the fuel tank when I fill gas up to full. Got a good deal on the car but did not expect to spend way too much after just a month of acquiring it. The warranty I got which was 30-day/1000 miles did not cover all the services I have to have made.

It was time for me to turn in my 2005 MB C240 lease, and I had no idea which MB I wanted next. My husband spotted the GLK and we decided to test drive it. I loved it immediately, and we leased it on the spot. I drive it every day and am only 5'2", but my husband, who is 6'4, drives it on trips and loves it too. It is zippy, gets great gas mileage, and is very solid. I love the interior features and it the Command system is really easy to use. I am going to lease another one when this one ends in July 2012!
