Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class (2015 - 2022) GLC 350 d 4Matic AMG Line Premium Plus 9G-Tronic Plus auto 5d Owner Review

It was a choice between this and an Audi Q5. I’ve not regretted it. I have no doubt all cars that have these features do it just as good, but this car just feels special, especially the engine. Crabbing. Did my research and knew this was a problem but was offered an insurance policy allowing me to change wheels and tyres up to five times during my ownership, so that wasn’t a worry. The ride is very good, you can’t possibly not get comfortable in those heated seats. Everything from a drivers point of view is to hand easily. The majority of the time I leave the setting in “Comfort” mode, but occasionally it goes into “Sport+,” and boy is it fast. Space in the back ok for three adults, just, and luggage space again is ok, it’s fitted everything I’ve needed to so far. On average, I get about 33 mpg, though on a trip to Scotland recently I got over 40. For a three litre car weighing two tons isn’t bad. Two small problems though. 1. It has twice since I’ve had it gone into limp mode. No reason for it and resolved by pulling over, stopping and restarting again. 2. The Eco Stop/start function stopped working. A 45 min drive on the motorway in Sport+ mode cleared that problem. Something to do with the re-gen. To sum up, It’s quiet, comfortable, fast and a joy to own, nothing has broken and nothing feels like it will. It’s not let me down once and yes, I would have another in a heartbeat.
