Very reliable.

It is dependable. Routine maintenance is expensive but worth it.
Dependable. Never any breakdown. Regular maintenance is kept up which is expensive but the car has never failed me. Easy to park. Good looking.

It has two sunroofs and heated seats.
Back seat really only seats two people, is very small and hard to get in and out of. Vehicle rides very smooth and is very peppy.

The M-B has been a great car and I would buy it again.
Getting older. It is safe. M-B makes a great product.

This is a great car! Highly recommend!
This car drives smoothly, is quick and has enough room for my son's sports equipment! Roomy enough and comfortable enough for road trips. It is good looking, too! I get compliments on my car all the time. It is a joy to drive and is perfect for a small family SUV. I recommend it!

Special features like navigation which is voice-capable, bluetooth capable, leather seats which can be heated, spacious interior.
I like the special features, the color and comfort of the seats. Parts are expensive.

Light problems
I enjoyed driving the vehicle, but replacing tail lights and head lights every few months got to be too much. Mercedes refused to do anything other than replace the bulbs while under warranty. After that they charged for every bulb even though it was clearly a manufacturing issue. They even said if I had a longer ownership history of more Mercedes they might have offer assistance. I am very happy with my BMW.

Good but outdated and expensive to maintain.
Very safe in a car crash, a little too small, expensive to maintain, quirky electronics and commands. Comfortable, only seats 4, quit, good air conditioning system, very nice acceleration, good braking system, not perfect side visibility. Oldish, so lacking the most modern safety features.

Mercedes-Benz glk class review.
Honestly not the best car but it gets me places so I am not complaining. I have had plenty of issues with mine which is why I will be changing it soon. I recommend the car if you are a single driver because honestly the back seats of the car have very limited space which gets really annoying when having people go on the back.

It works quite well for a car that is more than 5 years old.
It works well. It is dependable. The brakes are fine. It is just that the tires loses air quite quickly.
accountCircle Vicki M
The vehicle lets you know in plenty of time when it needs maintenance.
The performance of my 2011 Mercedes gal-class is awesome. It is very reliable. However, the comfort leaves a lot to be desired. Gas mileage is average for this type of vehicle. The features too could be better. As long as you maintain your Mercedes gal series it will give you a good ride. The features let you know when it is time for everything to be done to keep it in good running condition.

SUV for all your needs and more.
I like the car overall, the only problem it had was a recall for the airbags the other year so I had to bring it in for checkup. Other than that, I bring it in for yearly service and everything seem to be fine and well running. Even my oil change is once a year, it is practically hassle free.
