We've had our GLK for 5 year now and still love it! Our other vehicle is a Land Rover LR3 (also an amazing vehicle!!), so we didn't need another large SUV, but still loved the practicality of a SUV design. The GLK replaced our 2004 Lexus RX330. Don't let the GLK's timid design fool you. The 302HP and German suspension makes this car fun to drive. It's main CON would be the rear seat space and storage space. Another four inches would have made a huge improvement. I have not experienced any of the wind noise that some complain about. Overall, very happy with our purchase. Update: Had the car 2 1/2 years now. Still love it. So solid on the road. No mechanical issues yet. The wife was rear-ended about a year ago in it. The car was amazingly strong. Held up well and she had no injuries. Update: 5 years in and still good. No major complaints..

Great close out deal. Msrp was 49925. Left dealer at 40k even. I liked the glk navigation better than the new one that looks like it was added on. Car is flawless. I've yet to do the first service but so far we love it. Replaced a Cadillac SRX

Smoth ride, wind noise, slow rain wiper

This car ride very smoothly, but like the other reviewer, my GLK350 also has wind noise. And it's always in the passenger front side. I took it in to the dealer and they had the window shield replaced. The situation still not improved. I didn't hear that noise when I drove Avalon or any other verticals. It was raining really hard today and my rain wipers weren't fast enough for me to see the road, this were never happen in my past with the other cars. I will not buy this car again. * Correction: Dealer replaced windshield seal at first (did not work). Finally they replaced the front windshield glass, that got rid of the annoying wind noise.

Pros: I love the feel of this car when driving. It's solid with great acceleration. I also like the fact that you can put the car into the "hold" position (while stopped at a light for example) and the car will temporarily cut off theoretically saving on gas. Once you put your foot on the accelerator it kicks back into drive seamlessly. It's a quality made vehicle, and overall the drive and performance is great. Cons: For several years, I drove a BMW X5 and a Lexus RX350 before purchasing this vehicle. As one reviewer mentioned, it took concentrated maneuvering to get either the Beemer and Lexus into my garage because of their larger size. I bought the GLK thinking it was marginally smaller and therefore not as much trouble to get in and out of the garage. It took a while to notice that it's not just marginally smaller, its tremendously smaller than either the Beemer or the Lexus. In fact, the interior room is so much smaller that I sometime have trouble getting in and out. The leg room in the backseat is a joke. My son is only 5'10", but I had to move all the seats forward when bringing him home after surgery. I couldn't get his size 11 feet into the back comfortably. Not only is there insufficient leg room, but theres no room to just put "stuff". You know- stuff - like things you would normally keep in your glove compartment besides the owner manual. Forget it. This is the smallest glove compartment I've ever seen. The owners manual barely fits. If you have other "stuff" to put there you'd better think of something else. Don't expect to have room in the side pockets or the pockets on the back of the seats either - almost non-existent. The armrest in the middle has some room but not by much. I'm on the road a lot. While I drive I like to listen to audio books via my Iphone. I expect the bluetooth to pick up the book as soon as I get into the car. That's the way it worked on the previous two vehicles. Not with the GLK. Sometimes my book starts automatically. Sometimes it doesn't. It drives me crazy when I'm on a long stretch of highway and lose the signal. That's happened more than a few times. Driving and trying to manipulate the small letters (I wear reading glasses and can't see as well as I used to) on the dashboard or with the little "wheel" to try to reconnect bluetooth isn't always easy. Just trying to see whether I'm pushing the Navi, Radio, Disc button is beyond my vision and graphics be damned they are not all that intuitive. It's been a year since I purchased the vehicle. It has less than 6K miles on it. As I now contemplate trading it in, I've found that the value of the car has dropped by at least 35% after only a year. I got 60% on trade for my Lexus - after 5 years! Turns out the GLK doesn't hold it's value. I'm disappointed in that, but you live and learn. Overall, the GLK drives smoothly, accelerates quickly but buyer beware theres a lot of little annoyances that may not make it worth the initial high cost.

THE GLK 350 MYTH- EDITH

This is a great car until you become familiar with it. It has looks,style and attractiveness,but the pros generally stop there. None of the controls are intuitive. The voice commands only control the nav system. My 2014 Honda Accord Touring could make calls,turn on the air, ch ange the temperature and several other things. This car is luxury in name only,because it has the Mercedes name tag. In my personal opinion, the cost to value ratio is about 75%. I would not buy this vehicle again
