    Got my mom one in black with brown leather and wood trim. She loves it. More than enough power, fuel efficient and extremely comfortable. I have rods in my back from scoliosis and I've never had any issues riding in it. And we did some serious shopping - this is better than anything else in its class, including the BMW X3, Audi or Lexus. I guess the Bentley or Jaguar SUVs are nicer, but at what cost?

    not sure why Mercedes has been going with infotainment displays that aren't built into the dash lately. they did it on the c-class and again here. it doesn't blend into the interior and looks tacked on.

    I noticed the careful avoidance on commenting about the very unmercedez like infotainment screen. I own GLC 300 2018, opted out to 57 k and I did not choose the upgrade to that touch pad-mouse thingy which gave me smaller screen with Garmin GPS and awesome Android Auto. the down side was the smaller screen....and man it is small....with 1 inch of black plastic boarders.....WTF Mercedes...this is a screen drivers watch all day...screens are cheap these day....why why why in 2018 when phone screens are almost 6 inches...l don't get it. I heard they can be upgraded with aftermarket parts but who wants to do that after u pay 60K after tax....????
    anyway back to my point. these boys really avoided the draw backs of this GLC and there are some worth mentioning...which makes me think they might have sold out to Mercedez. Sorry its my hunch and opinion.
    Lots of Pros for new GLC especially compared to competition but after driving this thing for 3 months here are the cons....which I am afraid is rarely mentioned in any reviews :
    cons :
    1. when u turn off car ignition, it goes to Neutral by default and u should never take ur foot off the breaks. so boys never hand keys to ur females for this car, especially if they will be parking downhill....cause she will not know why the car suddenly started to roll down the hill once she switchs the engine off !!! remind her to open the car door if car rolls down the hill, that will make it go to "Park" automatically.....cause she won't remember which small button to push among the 4 windshield-wiper-looking sticks at either sides of steering wheels....Seriously Mercedes WTF ?
    2. this vehicle is unnecessarily tall. whose gonna take this for a mud bath ? anyone ? if anyone lives in snowy part of the country be prepared for the white road salts to be rubbed on ur pants every time u get in and out of this vehicle. Mercedes please learn how to prevent this from Volvo.... there is no shame in learning.
    3. Automatic parking assist is a piece of.....I will stop at that. I was trying to get 360 degree birds eye view but had to pay almost 3 grand coz it only came with this shitty function. Reminded me of Time-warner selling me 100 channels that i do not watch , just to get HBO, back in the days.
    4. When u push rare hatch button, the hatch does not go all the way down....u have to keep pushing till the end. Why why ?
    5. This car feels wobbly in the turns....unless u go to sport + mode, wasting fuel.....again Mercedes plz lower this glorified hatchback. there is no point in making it so tall. u can individualize ur car setting true....then again it does not memorize the setting after u turn the car off.
    6. and finally to the most obvious flaw as soon as u enter the car.....The tiny 8 inch (or is it 6 inch), barely high resolution, screen.....they should have made it edgless 12 inch screen for which I would have paid extra 500$ may be or they should have an option to turn any tablet into car screen via USB port or something.....That little screen is the one biggest thing in otherwise almost perfect cabin that reminds u that u r driving a C class... I am sure Mercedes wants u to crave for E or S class every time u drive. May be its a cast or shall I say class thing....the screen screams "you don't deserve it coz u only paid for C class"
