You do some really good reviews, not sure why this channel isn't getting hundreds of thousands of views. Good stuff as usual. You need to do the new X3
The Mercedes shifter is counterintuitive and works differently than just about every other shifter on the market. It's as bad as Lincoln putting shift buttons where everyone else has radio controls. A few years ago someone drove in front of the train because they had a new MB and shifted into drive instead of reverse still being used to their old car with a conventional shift pattern in a stressful situation.
Hmmm...your review of the GLC has swayed my initial opinion. Most shocking of all: No Apple Carplay OR Android Auto??? Whoa! That said, I had the opportunity to sit in one of these gorgeous suv's at recent auto shows, and it is one of the nicest vehicles to get in and out of. Also, the quality of the interior is fabulous! On the other hand, the fact that it doesn't automatically go into park when you switch it off has been echoed by more than one reviewer - not a good quirk. Overall, if someone left one for me outside where I live, I wouldn't at all say no! But....I will also say...once again, Audi is calling louder.... 🙄 Keep up the fine in depth reviews, Paul! 😀
I recently purchased a 2019 and my car has Android play. Some of his notes were off and not consistent to my vehicle. Maybe cars in the US are different from Canada. 🤷🏾♀️
@@michaeldavis5486 Android Auto and Apple Carplay is available as an option. It is called the Smartphone Integration option package. However, it is not available along with the Multimedia package, which provides the navigation system with the Sirius XM traffic and weather.
It is a solid luxurious choice - no wonder it is very popular around these parts in Canada. The GLC 300 however just doesn't feel very special to my taste - perhaps it is too common? I still prefer the XC60 or F-pace over this.
@@FamilyWheels Fingers crossed! My wife and I are heavily considering one and an SQ5. Would love to see your take since we've got a kiddo on the way, as far as rear car seat room etc.
Family Wheels thanks!! Really enjoy your practical real-world reviews, showing your family and how much leg room parents get with the car loaded up with luggage and kiddos, especially rear-facing infants
The looks are getting a bit boring inside and out, could use a refresh. My family friend wants to get this over the new X3 because she doesn't like BMW anymore haha
the interior looks so outdated compared to the newest generations of MB :/ not 'bad' but you can't unsee it after seeing new steering wheels with touch control for digital cockpit etc..
rogerthat it’s bs how they don’t offer sunroofs, push to start and smart phone integration standard

Great video, as usual. But please film your wife with both hands on the wheel - as it should be! You channel also is a role model. Driving one-handed is not safe for a family.
Great review. That GLC seems about $5-$7 over priced considering no android or apple features and mediocre fuel economy. PS. I was half way through the video before I noticed your head was shaved. Bald is beautiful. ✊
I also hate where they put that lever. Way too back on the "central hump". That's exactly where my pitbull mix puts his head when he rides up front.. and while that sounds stupid, it's one of the main reasons why I'm gonna pick up a BMW 328xi later today and not a C300 4Matic.
They have MBUX now starting in the A Class. This GLC will be facelifted next year only. MBUX is way better than idrive. Also, idrive also has a turning knob like this one. People who use this system daily find it perfectly intuitive. It is their older system because the GLC is almost 4 years old but it works.

I'm working on it! Spread the gospel for us, would you?! I'm going to see what I can do about the X3. Stay tuned.

FINALLY! They brought back the "REST" feature. My first 3 Benz's all had that feature, then my 2012 GLK , no REST button?!?! I love that button.
@Family Wheels could you do 2020 Mercedes GLC? Thanks!
Thanks for the review! Is your dog a Ridgeback? We have one
It does have both..Android Auto and Apple Carplay
Apple Carplay and Android Auto are actually offered. It is called the smartphone integration package for $350.
Triple checked on this one, Trent. It appears it's a US option but not for the Canadian market.
For a vehicle that price it should be standard

@@taramells73 Vehicles sold in the US and Canada do differ. Lucky you for having Android Auto in yours. 🙂

I love ventilating seats, and is why I’d always get leather. Vinyl or imitation leather doesn’t breath, and makes things sticky.
These seats still have the perforations to help with breathability so that should help a lot.

No Apple CarPlay in Canada? It’s an option here in the US. I wonder why the difference.
Yeah, I triple-checked on this fact. Interesting though that you can get it south of the border. For a lot of people, this is a real deal breaker.
I recently purchased the 2019, and it's odd that the features are different here in the US. I love my GLC.
It’s because we’re 50 years behind US in ALL aspects.
Paul - would love if you’d do a review of the new 2018/2019 BMW X3 M40i! Serious contender that might be better than SQ5
Sure hoping to! Although there are no more 2018/19 press cars available, we’ve put our hand up for the current MY.

@@nicklinton7236 First of all, congratulations! If you've just got the one child seat in the back, they're both going to be fine for room :)

@@architecturehappy You just described the reason for this channel!! Appreciate the feedback :)
Loving the new intro!
New intro. ☺
A perfect size for a small family but so much markup in packages.
No Android Auto/Car Play. Come on
Glad you're digging the intro, Dave. Thanks for watching!
just got the 2019 glc300 and it has apple carplay and android auto.... i got all the packages as this car and car was $49k
Cool review. Will you also review the Mercedes E class cabriolet or the upcoming A class sedan/hatchback?
I doubt I'll be looking into the cabriolet but would love to feature the A Class. Lots of good stuff there!
The looks are getting a bit boring inside and out, could use a refresh. My family friend wants to get this over the new X3 because she doesn't like BMW anymore haha
No doggy. No stepping on the bumper.
Why do you not mention the crabbing issues this car has? At full lock the tyres skip and slip.
really sounds like a sales person here....need more fun and deep reviews....
the interior looks so outdated compared to the newest generations of MB :/ not 'bad' but you can't unsee it after seeing new steering wheels with touch control for digital cockpit etc..
The front of GLC is boring, and the interior is dated also small compared to BMW X3. The central screen looks so bulky.
Meh.. it looks like a used bar of soap to me. All the nickle-and-diming on all those options that should be standard don't help, either.

Android Auto or Apple carplay is not worth 5 to 7 though. Lol.
In the US, it does include Android Auto.
I wonder when Mercedes will drop the weird mouse/pad thing and just copy BMW’s I drive?
