Car nerd

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
