Hi guys (from the uk)
Just a quick message to say hello. Not yet a glc owner but I will be from September. Last month I ordered a glc. Due to the fact I’m handing back a company car to go on a car cash scheme I can’t get it before September, and I know I’m being overly premature but I got a great price on carwow and found 2 dealers that were willing to honour the price for the sales.
I have ordered a 220d sport premium plus with the off road pack, running boards and beige leather in Cavansite blue.
I had my heart set on an epace but now I have driven one I was really surprised at how small they are, as well as the sat nav being obscured by the position I had the steering wheel in. I have never had a merc before, but have had a couple of BMW’s in the past. I found the x3 and the q3 rather dated and loved the interior of the Mercedes the first time I saw it.
Not sure wether I have my head in the sand or not regarding the crabbing issue but I’m just sort of ignoring it. I’m hoping as the off road pack has 17” wheels (I think) with bigger tyres there will be more give in the larger side walls and less crabbing. Does anyone know what the all weather tyres will be on this model?
If you look on the mb pages on Facebook there are just takes of angry people moaning about their cars being undriveable etc etc but reading this and the other forums that seems to be well over the top.
When you look at Porsche owner forums, they seem to all crab. Their attitude is generally they don’t care.
Final question, how capable are these off road. I don’t have any major plans for taking it greenlaning but it will need to be able to get across wet grass and up and down farm tracks from time to time. I also saw a lot of people moaning about performance in the snow bit again, was that because they assumed their car would drive the same in snow as it would on a dry summers day.
