This is my wife's car, and she loves the Mercedes vinyl "Tex" interior for its durability and ease of cleaning. She prefers it to leather and it does look great. Mileage for her has been around 21-25 mpg, which is what we expected for such a heavy vehicle. The forthcoming diesel GLK will be better, but we expect to keep this vehicle for a very long time. The V-6 engine is wonderful, and the 4-wheel drive gives a huge sense of security in rain, snow or ice. But if you want to haul cargo, a bigger SUV is better.

The ride is firm but sometimes a little jiggly on certain roads. Handles much like the C300 it is based upon. Seats are very comfortable on long trips. Don't expect to use the roof rack, rear doors make it very ackward to load even a bike on the optional roof rack.

This car is new to us, but my wife really likes it and feels safe/secure driving it in all conditions. It's pretty boring to drive I think, but this car is great for what it is. I think it looks fantastic.

Car is really sharp looking and drives really nice. Interrupt is sleek and modern with many features to the car. I love this car but the fuel economy is way wise than I expected for this car being relatively small.
