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.

Phenomenal

This beauty buying experience is wonderful and eye catchy, I'm driving enthusiastic and love to roar this beauty, I passing threw any road people stare at this blonde service is good but sometimes little harder for me because service provided mainly in metropolitan city.
