Barbara A

The most comfortable car you have owned.

This is by far, the best vehicle we have every owned. It handles very well and has great power. It is large enough to fit our entire family of 7 and is comfortable inside. The only thing I wish was a bit better thought out is the technology portion of the car. I wish the car had Apple play and that the navigation and radio portion was a little nicer.

My moms gl truck is great!

Drives very smooth. Speakers sound great. Has lane assist lets you know when you are drifting to another lane. Very spacious inside the 3rd row folds down for a huge trunk. Very convenient for grocery shopping. I don't have any problems with my vehicle it runs great.

Nicole C

Great for larger families, drives like a champ and very little wrong with it.

Like- seats, leather, and video screens. Dislike- narrowness of inside of cabin, moonroof in back does not open.

Jamie K

Great car for momma and kids!

Love how smooth it drives, the adjustable cruise control, the massage seats are wonderful! Love the multiple TV screens in the headrests for the kids to watch. Our daughter gets carsick watching a tablet or portable player but not when watching these. Also love all the cargo space when the 3rd row is down.

Tracie B

Mercedes gl550 rates above all others!

The 2015 Mercedes gl550 offers an extremely comfortable and smooth ride, which is far above other automobile in the industry. The interior is gorgeous and gratifyingly pleasant. The leather provides a pleasant and warm environment. When using the electronic system, the audio and navigation remain the top of the industry.

Mercedes-benz - awesome vehicle to drive long distance.

Vehicle performance has been really good. I have not experienced any issues so far. . Very comfortable driving this vehicle. Multiple drive modes that help you change depending on the situation. Automatic updates that pops up on the dashboard as and when the service is pending.

The complete car experience, a Mercedes.

Service is expensive as are parts and accessories, not enough local dealerships. I do like the car though, nice and roomy with luxurious features. I would definitely buy again. I love the color too and the dual TVs. Leather seats are large and comfortable.
