  • We do a quick review on the GLC300 SUV. The luxury CUV and SUV market has many blurred lines between value and quality products. Everyone is in on the game and competition between BMW, Audi and Lexus are being chased by companies like Mazda, Kia and Acura. Can these marque brand bring anything else to the table in terms of space and features?

    SUVs just depress me. I have to admit this review is what SUVs are about. Comfortable transportation with a good use of space and luxury. It doesn't try to be a race car and it's not being tested like one. Great job!

    We drove the q5, x3, qx50, rdx, mdx and stelvio before we leased the rwd version of the Glc we have now. To us the Merc had the most comfortable interior and seats, best quality leather (I'm kinda picky with that), very comfortable drive, and surprised us the most because I went in thinking I wouldn't like it at all. All were really good, but for the same money roughly, the Glc felt the best. And Mark is right about the burmester... Worth the money. Just know that this doesn't have any sporting drive feel at all. Which is ok because it's an SUV.

    • @bleachx1
      @bleachx1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd choose the GLC and QX60 last over on your list. My opinion X3 > Q5 > RDX > Stelvio > GLC > QX 50 (MDX is a midsized sedan) and (Burmeister is flat on Bass). Just goes to show everyone has different taste.

    Very nice review. I have the 2018 GLC300 4Matic and after 8100 miles am still very pleased. Mine has the older COMAND system instead of the new MBUX, and from what I have heard, the new system is amazing, but I think I am glad I have the older, simpler system. And, yes, the brakes squeak when it gets cold, but not for long. The ride is quiet but not completely-one still (properly) can hear the engine and road noise, but they are “turned down” with the acoustic windshield. I saw some comments about the “bland” look-but I would call it classy-in a few years, it will not look nearly so dated as the overly sculpted designs one sees in some other cars nowadays. And this four-cylinder turbo can REALLY move. I also keep mine in comfort mode 90% of the time, but when I need extra, sport and sport + makes it feel as if I am on a race track! Super handy for passing.

    Thanks for reviewing this thing. As a former S2000 owner and "car enthusiast" with a baby on the way, the GLC ended up on top of my list and you nailed exactly why it was chosen. (Comfort, tech, interior, just the right size) The Macan GTS was test driven and I thought to myself, why spend so much on a sporty SUV when my hatchback (Focus RS) or the wife's BRZ is more fun to drive. Unfortunately, the BRZ got the axe to make room for this one.

    The 2014 does come up and dance a bit, but the recent ones have multiple lights in each headlight assembly..!

    I’ve noticed that many audio systems sound great when the car is stationary but is terrible when the car is in motion. Sometimes, the audio is great in the front seats but is bad in rear seats. Since you seem to have the knowledge to gauge audio quality, I would like to see audio tested in more dimensions.
