I just ordered a new GLC 250. This will be my third Mercedes.
The first one was a 2009 C class, I replaced that one with a CLA200 and now ordered the GLC as replacement for the bouncing CLA.
Besides the Mercedes I am also a big fan of 50's US cars. Untill a few years back I owned a 1958 Oldsmobile, cruising at best.
My other hobby is a flight simulator. A fullsize Boeing 737-800 cockpit. Also a great hobby.

Now back to the GLC. I live in The Netherlands and cars are expensive here. So unforgently its not fully loaded.
But still I think I covered most of my wishes. In the Netherlands we do not have big lots like the USA. Most cars here are ordered at your specs.

- Designo Hyacinth Red
- AMG exterior
- 19" black / grey AMG rims
- Heat and sound reduction glass

Did you do a petrol test drive as I could only do one in a diesel version? If so, how was it?

 

[FooFighters]

I drove 2 GLC's before ordering.

The first one was a GLC SUV. Standard version with 250 petrol engine, standard suspension, 18 inch rims.
The drive was very good, suspension very comfortable and engine sound almost non extintent. I was very impressed.
The engine has enough power and torque and works great with dynamic select. Especialy in comfort en Sport mode.

Because I want an AMG exterior I also tested another GLC 250 (and it was Hyacinth red, big fat bonus for me).
This one had the 20 inch (better looks than the 19) and sport suspension. Unforgently a lot of comfort was lost (the biggest reason I want this car).
I do not know what had more impact, the 20's or the sport suspension (probably the latter).

Eventualy I choose the 250 with standard suspension and 19 inch rims (black and grey).
I thought about air suspension but I already maxed my budget. And because I bought this car I also think air suspension can be a big expense when it breaks down.

p.s. what color did you choose ?

 

[Adam]

Same reason I didn’t choose the air suspension, things like that feel as though when they go wrong it’s a big problem. Mine is going to be Selenite grey.
