Merc stands on the top of customer service. Driving pleasure is too good makes u feel important and provides luxury. Performance is good, sunblinds could be electric for the rearview passenger. GLC is a low-maintenance car. But yes, the rear passenger may feel a little cramped on long routes.

Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome

Good very good I bought it 9 years ago and it is working now just like a pro it didn't disappoint me Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome East and West Defender is the best But 1 problem is that is expensive but according to its price it is just fantastic No words for it The waiting period is very much but when you get it you will forget all the other cars and you will again and again just wow! Thank you Have a nice day
