Great towing capacity and an all around food family vehicle.
We have had issues with the tires wearing quickly even when balancing. We spend a lot of money in gas, and feel that low mileage on gas mileage. We have also had to replace the airbags above each tire which was really expensive. General maintenance is also quite expensive and we have had to replace all of the spark plugs and repair oil leaks several times as well.

2011 white mercedes-benz gl-350.
My mercedes-benz gl-350 is the best car I've ever owned. It's comfortable and reliable and gets great gas mileage. The leather interior is nice. Love the automatic child locks even for myself so I don't have to lock the doors every time I stop at a stop light.

Soccer mom car at its finest.
Expensive to maintain. The shocks have blown out and the compressor is new along with the power steering pump and starter. It is extremely heavy and has a huge tank which is both good and bad because the fuel economy is not the best. It holds a lot and is relatively comfortable.

Fully custom high end high quality.
My vehicle is fully custom. It is black outside with upgraded fine black leather inside with massage seats for driver and passenger. Two TVs in the back. 7 seats. High end noise surround sound stereo. High quality tires and rims. Amazing drive. Beautiful looking car.

Best SUV for the money handyman
I love my vehicle, it's a large SUV that drives like a small vehicle. It handles great. So far it has 105k miles and you'd never guess it from driving it. The regular maintenance is pricey but not so bad if you live in an area where there is competition among dealers. Definitely recommend.

Mercedes Benz are a great car investment.
Love the look and safety. Drives great. Love the leather interior and all the functions. Easy to use functions and very classic looking. This SUV is very spacious and has a lot of room. I would recommend this vehicle to all my friends and family. My car is good on gas and excellent in bad weather especially snow.

Mercedes-benz, luxury but unreliable.
Mercedes-benz vehicles are not very reliable, but the comfort of it is well worth it. Driving feels smooth and the overall look of the car is amazing. Personally, my vehicle runs on diesel which is one thing I regret about choosing the car because it burns through it quickly.

Gas guzzler but a nice SUV.
The leg room in this car is ample and it can seat six people. The exterior is sleek and aesthetically pleasing. The gas mileage is not the best; it is not the most energy-efficient vehicle out there. No modern features like a rear camera screen unfortunately.

The gl550 is stylish inside and out with top of the line finishes.
My Mercedes gl550 has been reliable with no problems thus far. The interior is sleek and top of the line with comfort from the driver seat all the way to the third row. It has two sunroofs, heated seats throughout, a good sound system and so much more. The one thing I have noticed is the comfort level of the drive itself. It is more of a truck then an SUV so the bumps in the road seem to be bigger and more drastic then they are. Overall I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. It is nice on the outside as well as the inside.

Super reliable except airmatic suspension.
Rides and handles like a dream. Love the rain sensors and other conveniences. However, be prepared that sometime after 80,000 miles, you will have to replace all four of the airmatic shocks, and, likely, everything else in the airmatic suspension. It is really the one thing about this car that I find unacceptable, since changing out all of that has run over $4900. And that is at a repair shop... Think double that for a Mercedes dealer. Other than that, the vehicle has been extremely reliable. Even with the suspension issue, I'd likely still buy another.

The Mercedes Benz 2011 GL550 - Comfort and Power, Perfectly Combined
My 2011 Mercedes GL550 is the most comfortable vehicle I have had the pleasure of driving. The vehicle has two easy to switch to transmissions - sport and comfort. The sport transmission allows for a very authentic and fantastic sporty experience, while the comfort transmission fills the space between the tires and main body with air, giving it a smooth ride that is ideal for anyone with car sickness or easily aggravated illness/injury. It has an enormous amount of legroom in the front, and the seats are able to be customized down to the firmness of the seat, and the vehicle is able to save up to three seat configurations to be recalled later. It has huge trunk space with the third row seats down, and still has an impressive cargo area with the third row seats active. It boasts an entertainment system that can be synced to have the same thing playing on every monitor, or customized so each monitor broadcasts something different. I mean, you can play video games in it. That's pretty cool. It also has electrical outlets along side the typical car charging jacks. You can lock the vehicle by pressing a button on any of the four handles, and as long as the key is nearby, it will unlock when one of the handles is touched. It of course has Bluetooth, a GPS, radio, CD player, and iPod integration as well as Bluetooth phone integration. Many controls are a small stretch of a thumb away on the steering wheel, and the display directly in front of the driver will show everything a driver could possibly need to know - it even alerts you when any sort of service is required on the vehicle. The keyless start is pretty cool, the cruise control is excellent, the car is Neat. However, it is rather heavy and large, requires supreme gas, has pretty bad gas mileage, and its acceleration is not impressive compared to other Mercedes or other SUVs of similar engine power.

My dream car: mercedes-benz gl-class.
My vehicle has given me no problems in the 3 years that I have had it. The ride is very smooth, easy to control, and fit for any weather conditions. The leather seats are very comfortable and I love the seat warmer feature. This car is very reliable and I definitely recommend.

Mercedes gl450: safe, comfortable and reliable car.
This vehicle is very comfortable to drive. I feel safe and secure in the vehicle. I love the audio features and the phone feature. I like the size of the car and how many people fit in the car. The option to have a third row seating and the amount of charging points in the vehicle.
