    Nice review but I believe a nifty secret about the GLC is that the platform is actually based on the current E Class, not the C Class.

    The new diesel engine is definitely more refined and quieter than the old one.
    Having said that the old 250d is still considerably better to drive than the current 220d.

    I've been with the GLC 2017 since and had tried the 2020 also, it's the same. Suspension is the worst part on this car, it feels like a groceries cart whenever you drive on the slightest bad road (almost the same in the 2020) Transmission and throttle combo: is indeed super jerky when doing stop and go in either traffic jams or making quick stops.Just those 2 things are to the point that it's embarrassing to me whenever I have guests on board "my Mercedes" so I must be be extra careful about my driving to avoid those situations as much. Throttle is artificially slowed in an exaggerate way in comfort mode and very frustrating to me, I find it dangerous at times when you need to insert yourself in traffic from an intersection! this means you will never get the power you want when you need unless you almost floor the gas paddle and takes at least a good 2 secs. The sport mode is way better for that and I would keep it on at all times but 2 problems; 1) the RPM will raise by 1/2x1000more as long as sport mode is on 2) Even if you don't care about gas and pollution in sport you must enable back at every start of the engine. Sound system before 2020 is super bad! no bass, muffled sound no matter how you try to adjust it sound like ass, such insult at this price point, Kia as a way better sound system in my friend's sorento by far. Air suspension already leaking from visit to chalet, and no I have not used the car in any abusive way!! More very annoying things: after a while the center console cracks during driving as well as my driver's side door plastics. They did fixed it at the dealer by tightening the screws but it only lasted for a month! Then you also get the air-vent traps adjusting airflow inside the vents that started making noise every 20 seconds or so. For the 2020 I would also like to point out that they could have refreshed the outdated front grill design. I would also say that the paint is of a poor quality, not durable. the inner lower door steps will get rusty quickly. My recommandation: Don't buy! There are way better built and durable vehicles out there that will give you much better value for your $$ especially if you don't lease. And between the 2, as I also know BMWs, I believe the X3 is a much better car and experience all around.

      @mydevices768 Před 7 měsíci

      I would recommend you to go try a Porsche Macan, a bit smaller in interior space but the ride, equipment and finish quality are better IMO. Acura RDX is also a good contender I'd say@@XDMIIIIIIIII

    Nice car with some nice features but German manufacturers are always greedy by having so many trim levels with different options it can bamboozle people. Also so many features don't cost the crazy prices they charge for them. Another great review 👍

    @blackcatsarenopussies Před 3 lety

    please, point the lack of a full size spare wheel. Cutting weight it's not a good excuse. Tirefit kits don't work well and a space saver is also not a reliable solution as the range is limited as well.
    At least give me the choice to tick it as an option. Or leave room in the trunk for one and I'll buy one full size wheel myself

    Why have you not mention the serious issue of crabbing when taking corners? Many customers have.

    • @ParkersTV
      @ParkersTV  Před 3 lety

      It’s only at very low speed and does occur in a number of other vehicles, hence we did not think it pertinent.

      @@ParkersTV First of all, I would like to thank you for your reply, most unexpected, so well done...... Professional. Yes, there is an however. All of the review shows failed to mention this very serious issue. Carwow, carbuyer, autotrader and your good selves etc. There are many people who own a Mercedes with this crabbing issue, which looks, sounds and feels very dangerous. So many Mercedes dealerships have either lied or ignored this very dangerous issue, irrelevant of the speed. Many vehicles have this issue, not just a few. I appreciate why you did not mention this problem, we all need to make money some how and it is NOT just you. What is wrong with honesty and where has it gone? Thank you so much for your reply but you are wrong to say this issue is not pertinent, it most definitely is.

    • @ParkersTV
