A little under powered for the size. Some confusion on the HVAC system, can't sync the pass and driver temp. No rear temp is inconvenient.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the design and features of the GLS 450. We need front seat passenger space that fits my tall husband and this car is perfect. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that in a heavy rain where water puddles on the road the vehicle easily hydroplanes. We put new tires on the care every year (which one sadly has to do) and align the vehicle twice a year keeping while keeping the proper tire pressure. I am a cautious driver and by keeping well the below the speed limit I have not crashed yet. It is to the point that I will not drive the car when it rains. Would not recommend this car.

We bought the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 as a CPO vehicle in 2020 with 39k miles. It now has 85k miles on it. I would summarize the GLS by saying that we like the vehicle but we really dislike owning it. Starting with the exterior - it is very sharp. A classic design that will continue to age very well. We love the black color. The interior fit and finish is very nice. Very nice materials throughout. We have the MB-Tex seats which looks just like leather but more durable and supportive but is a little firm and gets a little uncomfortable on longer trips. The GLS drives very nice. Plenty of acceleration and smooth ride / handling. The 3rd row is relatively spacious. Great panoramic sunroof. The 25+ gallon fuel tank gives you some pretty good range. Things we don't love about the vehicle. The infotainment system is workable but not easy to use (no touch screen). The Nav system isn't great....just use Apple Car play (which is nice to have). As mentioned above, the seats are somewhat uncomfortable on long trips. For a vehicle this size, interior storage is a somewhat limited. Second row leg room is tight. Our ownership experience has not been great. We've had quite a few issues: leaking sunroof, had to replace both rear air springs, had to replace an entire headlamp assembly, One of the seat buckles broke, the rear wiper broke, the heated/cooled cup holders didn't work among other issues. These repairs (along with routine maintenance) were all very expensive - even at an independent repair shop. In the future, I would only buy another GLS if it is under warranty (manufacturer or extended).

Mercedes charges a premium for its cars and SUV's which seems to be about 15000-20000 over priced for what you receive with vehicle.
