    We looked at it at the dealer’s. I can’t believe how roomy it is given the size. We have a senior -my mom, and I can see her getting in and out of the 2nd row very easily and fitting her mobility scooter in the back with extra space for shopping bags. Plus I like the 3rd row seat option. I’m not really interested in the leather stuff, but it’s definitely a contender for me. Currently in the market for a new lease since mine is ending in May.

    @jeffs6090 4 года назад +1

    Ventilated seats are an option with different leather. You can see that by the blank button on the door where it would be. This particular model had the Alcantara seat inserts which won't get ventilation as an option. Ergo, don't zonk it if it's an option, or could not have been optioned with it to begin with.

    Nice review on the exterior and drive. I was hoping to get a better look at the console, tho. When a vehicle has an unusual cockpit, that should be focused on. I can't see the shifter in any of the stock pictures, and you just said you didn't really like it, but didn't really show it or the mouse pad where one would expect the shifter to be. Just something to consider in future videos.

      I would prefer the Mazda 6. Looks nicer and will handle better. They have better road manners and its bullet proof. But if you can, spring for the 2.5 turbo. But the regular 2.5 still does well enough. Sonata will have a better warranty if that is important to you. Both are nice cars. I'd test drive both if I were you.

      Jyorhan Greene you may do better to get it when they put it on lease special. Outright owning a used vehicle is a costly mistake in these days of rapid vehicle development. If you do t like a car you can easily give it back after lease. If you like it you can buy it after the lease. You will also get huge incentives upgrading an expired lease but your timing needs to be right and you have to shop on the internet and make your first contact through the internet. Also. The tax aspect with a lease is nice because you pay tax on the part that you use and doesn’t take a huge loss when you sell the vehicle

      DG hi, I am in love with the glb. I really liked to boxy body of the glk and was worried I would miss it. The glb has impressed me, and the engine is not a disappointment. It actually caught me off guard, it has a lot of get up and go. Impressive styling and runs smoothly.

      @@MsCaramelGirl22 Thanks for that review. Mind if I ask why you decided to trade up and get rid of the GLK?

      DG my glk had over 200k miles and I have a long daily commute. I decided it was rime to go a bit newer and enjoy some new technology as well.

    For $50,000 give me a Dora Explorer ST with 400 turbo charged horses.!! Although I've heard they've been having some issues with the new Explorer's.

    Love the look of it but it's missing a few key features that it should have, like cooled seats.

      Was wondering the same thing. And are the wheels really slipping or was it the clutch that was slipping?

    Good looking crossover when comparing it to Lexus RX but again, the legendary "Mercedes reliability ".
