    ......took delivery a month ago and so far so good. Just got the entire car ceramic coated and threw the winter boots on her. I am getting the door handles vinyl wrapped gloss black in 2 days. The interior of this car is boss. We got the leather seats because I quite like my fillings in my teeth(sorry Recaro). Wifey is loving that heated steering wheel. Sport + takes a minute to get used to as it simply does not like mild touches. It wants to go.... go..... go. This car is 70k and the 63 is 85-90k .This is the better buy but I am sure others will think differently. With a tune this thing is easily capable of 500HP. Its 0-60 is a smig below the 63 so around town I would take this over the V8. Track, hmm yeah I would take the 63-LOL. p.s. You don't have the exhaust on the car you are reviewing.

    We pick ours up tomorrow. Black on Black- loaded. Full optics package with adaptive LED lights. I didn't get the red stitching nor the red seat belts(felt out of place). We did get carbon-fiber center stack which my son loves. We also had to have the active exhaust as it has to sound good if its an AMG. The thing is crazy and I love the sound. My wife loved the heated steering wheel. Those wheels are 21" inch and come on summer performance tires. Looks wise that's the exact car we are getting.

    Glc43 Amg does crabwalk when you turn sometimes, usually when tires are cold it seems. And I’m not a big fan of the ticking noise it makes. I’ve been told they just do it and it’s fine but it’s a bit annoying. Other than that, I like the vehicle

      Hi Jancen,
      never buy a brand new Mercedes.
      I bought 3 years ago a GLE with 20´000km almost half the price.
      And now i bought a GLC with 40’000km almost 4x cheaper than a new one. I was lucky to find a company car in perfect shape.
      So if you find someone who has done all the services and did no scratches or any other dmg inside/outside the car then for sure buy it instead of paying 30k more just to be the first one riding the car.
      In the end of the day no one else than your bank account cares if it’s new or not. 😊

    You asked for feedback so here goes: whenever I watch these videos I always want to hear the reviewer's opinion on a car versus its competitors. Would definitely have liked to hear it here... :-/
    Maybe if you have a section for that towards the end of each review? I also think a more measured tone when reviewing these cars (as opposed to fawning over all of them) would give your reviews more credibility. Will be on the lookout for more! Good luck.

    Anyone out there with real world experience when it comes to a flat tire? Extremely interested in one of these, but I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around these "no flat" tires or whatever they're called. From what I've read they'll run for up to 50 miles. Heck, a donut spare is better than that. And suppose you're out in the middle of nowhere at 1 am and you get a flat. What are you supposed to do?

    195 grand for the GLC250 and 292 grand for the GLC43 AMG. ouch...
