GLK 250 is a great ride with excellent gas mileage

The only drawback to this vehicle is the tire noise from the run-flats installed as standard equipment. Otherwise it is a great vehicle with no problems, recalls, or dealer involvement. Tire and wheel warranty already executed for a leaky rim, but quickly replaced at dealership. The tire noise remains, and no apparent resolution is being offered as a remedy.

Having read as many reviews of the GLK as possible I have come to the conclusion that the average American is so spoiled they have have lost sight of what is to have an exceptional vehicle. One reviewer complained about the stitching on the steering wheel, several about the room in the back seat, others about the cheap materials on all models prior to 2013. Yes it is expensive and yes the maintenance costs are higher than average, and yes the mpg could be better as in all SUV's. Everyone knows that. Buy a Honda and if you think it is too small then you didn't pay attention when you test drove it, if you did.

I bought it w 11000 miles on it in 2914 and have never had one problem with it. It would make a reliable used car. It has just enough options but at this point in my life I need a car with. BLIS, LED headlights And a few other options that assist with night driving. The technology was not there in 2013. It’s a hard decision to part with a trouble free car and now that I’m writing this I might hang on to it!

VERY RELIABLE

Every parts on this suv is high quality even if it is not the higher mercedes class. I live in Quebec city and it is the perfect winter vehicle for snow but don't expect incredible economy on winter: about 7.2 to 8.5 liters/100kms based on 30%city and 70%highway. On summer the economy is amazing: about 4.5 to 5.5L/100kms on highway and in city only it will be about 6 to 7.5L/100kms. The driving is not sport but it is fun to drive. The diesel engine is pretty quiet. The only negative points on this cars are: the bluetec system which and it would be an upgrade to remove, the radia has a very good sound but i don't like the configuration. The rear door isn't motorized, it is optionnal. Even if it's a 2013 many think it a 2019 because this vehicle comes out of the usual standards; with its jeep look I think I'll love it for several more years.

I never intended to buy a Mercedes Benz but after researching prices for new domestic and import vehicles I decided to look at used luxury autos. The idea came from something I read in Consumer Reports about good quality used vehicles as an alternative to a new purchase. The MB 2013 GLK line had decent reviews though other vehicles had better rankings. I went through the local MB dealer in San Antonio. Their attention to detail was wonderful and my purchase experience was easy and enjoyable-quite a different experience altogether from other dealers in town. There was very little haggling, I got a great price on the GLK and am happy with my purchase. I never thought I could afford a Mercedes but now that I own one, I'm hooked.
