Roadfly.com - 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 Road Test Review

[gheffty93]

lol at the people who cannot take tome criticism. The Audi Q5 is much superior, whether or not you like it, better handling is important. NOT ONLY THAT, but this car is way overpriced compared to the Audi. Even the BMW is cheaper! If they would just learn how to make it drive correctly, it would be great. Not a huge fan of he interior either, but its all a shame since it looks so good.

[shoelace510]

It's much better in white, but yeah the Q5 and SRX are better option in 2010 and 2011 models.

[4444whatever4444]

I have had mine now for 14 months and I love it but yes but my five year old and my seven year old hate it. Not enough back seat room even for them.

[sigurnoable]

Very nice car.....i want this one!!!!!!!!!!

[Paperstax509]

Insulting towards women drivers.

[Nathant888]

@Paperstax509 exactly what i thought. im a guy and thought that was a bit judgmental.

[gheffty93]

@Nathant888 I think you are reading too far into it. He says it looks great, but the handling is crap. That is the bottom line.

[gheffty93]

@gheffty93 No I know, I was just marveling at how butt hurt Mercedes fans get over the criticism he gave. I think it looks great, but MPG and handling are both atrocious.

[373axle]

I always think it's kind of ignorant of how car editors judge cars in general and especially these small suvs, do they really think that primary consumers of small suvs will buy a GLK or a Q5 to tackle twisty roads? MB builds sedans and coupes for those who should be interested in the 'sport' section.

[gheffty93]

@373axle or perhaps you just cannot accept the car's shortcomings. I mean there is also the fact that it is more expensive than the competition because there is no base engine and the MPG is terrible.

[373axle]

Well the GLK is a 4100+lb suv with 3.5L V6 & awd, and it's designed to go at least a little bit off road. So you can't expect camry fuel economy and lotus handling with that package. Gotta be realistic here. That's why I don't agree with many mainstream car medias; it's always a comparison for them, they never see any car for what it is. And it's a Benz, so of course it isn't going to be cheap!

[gheffty93]

@373axle No, see it has about the same offroad ability as its German competitors (Audi and BMW) and the Evoque has better offroad capabilities. And all those cars get MUCH better MPG. and the Merc is not better than any of the competition yet so being much more expensive cannot be forgiven by the fact that "It's a Benz".

[373axle]

@gheffty93 GLKs competitors barely get any better real world MPG. C & D did a road test and they got: 20mpg combined for the GLK, 21mpg for the V6 Q5, and 22mpg combined for the X3 3.0si. Motorweek got 20mpg for the GLK as well. You can look those up on the web. Anyhow, if you're seeking fuel economy, affordability and great handling, why look into the premium SUV market to begin with? End of debate for me.

[gheffty93]

@373axle nope see you are comparing the wrong models. The Q5 has a 2.0T that gets higher MPG and the X3 has a new engine that gets better MPG as well. The Merc is above and beyond the worst. Its not too much to ask for decent MPG for that much money.

[thnktank1]

Oh! I love how he went off the paved road and onto the gravel road like robert de niro did in the audi s8 in ronin. cheers!

[SparkySlow]

beautiful car ... like all mercedes ..

[CacoPhobicBitchh]

This man should've reviewed a Q4 or whatever the hell he kept talking about. Clearly he likes that one better.

[gheffty93]

@CacoPhobicBitchh you sound stupid

[gheffty93]

@gheffty93 huh what a constructive response. Thanks for playing.

[CarsAreMyThing]

This guy is so bias

[qernst8]

That's pretty horrendous gas mileage for a small SUV.

[jae1style]

soccer mom steering makes me not want to buy this car now

[Beatle1107]

"Dissapointing" gas mileage of 16 city and 21 highway? Isn't that normal?

[FragNet0]

boring color for the car it should be forbidden :p

[89leviathan]

kinda ugly

[sexyboi142]

just put jesse lang on full time...god i cant stand steve hammes!

[dragonstorm83]

did they tweak the design? it looks less ugly than when i first saw it. must be the red color.

[aieljose]

Tell Jessi Lang i said she's hot!

[OneOfOne]

go to a benz lot and see all the lame white ext/black int models. and then see that almost nothing comes standard. thats why I leased my 2010 infiniti ex 35 which destroys the Q5 X3 and glk on features, ride, performance, and value

[OneOfOne]

looks like youre reading. we know you are but move the teleprompter or where you stand. and cover up that lame arm band tat. otherwise youre pretty good at this

[mackenziebrowning]

Standard American social construction at its best, " For the female driver." This guy is obviously mid-aged and small minded.

[von32897]

We want more reviews ONLY from Jessi!

[noopsky13]

I guess for $35k thats the best you'll get out of a mercedes

[OneOfaKind949]

I'd rather buy a Infiniti EX.

[swinglow33]

They should have given up a foot of cargo space for rear seating room. And for a Mercedes, the instrument panel seems bland. Its a premium vehicle with sub premium qualities.

[bg1379]

The "BMW has owned the class"? No, OBVIOUSLY the Lexus has owned the class. Just drive down any suburban street.

[LoveTheCity123]

" to the female factor " .. Ok, seriously that is completely biased. My father owns a 2010 Mercedes GLK 350 and he is a male. A car is a car. It does not have a gender.

[yumyumluckycharms]

@LoveTheCity123 hells yeah... doesnt fucking matter.

[librano]

@LoveTheCity123 They meant that cars are sometimes targeted towards one gender... Not that men can't drive them... it's just that they're girlie. However, the exterior line of the GLK do not look girlie to me.

[venom5809]

I stopped watching at exactly 31 seconds...

[stuckinthesuburbs]

@venom5809 hahahahahaha wow i laughed really hard at this for some reason

[Forgoten214]

I love the way this looks, very aggressive and masculine.

The interior seems abit tiny though especially for larger males.

I need to test drive one. =)

[BMWBurnoutM3]

Why doesn't the Mercedes 3.5 v6 have 300+ hp while other 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 v6s do? Are they doing that on purpose because I'm pretty sure their engineers can get more power out of that engine.

[tres311]

@BMWBurnoutM3 alot of car companies say their shit has more HP then it does and Merc might be saying its 280 or whatever they said but actually be above 300, and yes the 370z has 320 or atleast thats what nissan says

[pogoboy123]

The only benz I would buy!

[Pl43rs4Lif3]

can i have it? :)
