    This is probably the best car review I've seen at CarAdvice.
    Thank you.

    Great review! Just bought one here in Sweden and it's a very, very nice car. No, not comparable to a Sorento or CRV since it's a whole different luxury feel and image compared to them. I recommend the AMG-pack since you then get (in my opinion) a better steering wheel and a better looking exterior.
    TBH, you do say that it's Mercedes first entrant into this market, which is of course the GLK, no matter if it was offered in AUS or not. All ina all, a super informative review that I think captures the essence of the car!

      CarAdvice.com Wrong!!!.. I noticed how on every video about this vehicle, they never talked about how you put the SUV in gear including this guy!. That's kinda important

  • @aminooo3117

    The 220d is a little bit weak and noisy but the 250d is ok.L love the interior,360 view camera,ambient lighting and parking assist.

  • @hedydd2
    @hedydd2 Před 6 lety +1

    Did you notice the front tyres scuff and groan on tight turns? Right hand drive cars have suffered badly from this, as if a diff-lock is engaged across the front. They may well have it sorted by now, but they refuse to sort it on existing cars.

    Um, the GLK was the predecessor to this GLC. You should of mentioned the GLK

    • @Drivecomau
      @Drivecomau  Před 8 lety +5

      +RKOViperOrtonHD™ GLK never sold in Australia so not relevant to mention to our market. Note we say its the first time Mercedes have operated in the segment 'in Australia'.

    • @sebastientumahai9560
      @sebastientumahai9560 Před 8 lety

      +CarAdvice.com.au actually I went back 0:17 seconds into the video, there was no mention of the GLC being the first Premium mid-sized SUV from Mercedes Benz in Australia. It wouldn't kill to mention the fact that there was a mid-sized offering I'm the stages and other countries. And this time Mercedes are going global with there all new entry into the growing and very popular Premium Mid-sized SUV segment.

    Do Aussie spec models come with runflats? I seem to see conflicting comments online about what the Australian spec version has.

    • @Drivecomau

      +Wildhoney - yep, we have put three large adults across the back. It is cozy but possible. Three children would be no issue.

  • @blackcatsarenopussies
    @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

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo Před 3 lety +2

    After owning one of these cars get ready for some massive running costs. Tyres that last 20000K if your lucky, all brake pads that need changing at the same time. Even had a Mercedes Benz service centre in Sydney tell me my diesel car needed spark plugs at service. What a joke.

    @ycnexu Před 8 lety +4

    Guys, Is is true that native cars like Holden are multiple times cheaper in Australia than imported like this GLC?

    • @Drivecomau
      @Drivecomau  Před 8 lety +4

      +ycnexu - well, yes... but Holden doesn't have a car that competes in the same category. Closest is the Captiva which in its top-spec is about $40k, or around 60% of the price of the GLC.The Captiva is imported. The only cars built here are Holden Cruze and Commodore, Ford Falcon and Territory and Toyota Camry.

    • @leograce18
      @leograce18 Před 8 lety +1

      If car have run flat, there is no spare tire moron. That's the whole benefit of run flats, so you have more cargo room. That and a girl don't need to learn how to change a tire.

      +CarAdvice.com.au Yes, but they haven't been "waiting" on this segment like your video postulates. GLK sold for years in US and other major markets that are left-hand drive. I know it had engineering restrictions that didn't allow for right-hand drive.
