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.

E for Exellence

The drive is really fun and it’s a pleasure to drive The looks are stunning, but performance may lag at really high speeds-the comfort in the car is next level The maintenance is affordable and the first service was pretty decent The cons-Fuel economy is not good

Audi A6 review

Best to drive ,when you drive this car people look around back the car is an beautiful machine but maintenance cost is vary high, because of this people are not interested in this the company have to decrease the maintenance cost
