Hi,
I used this excellent Forum to gain information on GLC before I committed, obviously like most owners/prospective owners I was concerned with with juddering / skipping etc...
I'm 2 months into a 3 year lease on a GLC 220d AMG Line Prem Plus with 19" wheels using Pirelli scorpion tyres. The skipping/juddering is not bad at all, it's ever so slight and doesn't bother me, in fact if I wasn't aware of the issue I wouldn't really pay much attention to it.
Before I committed to the 3 year lease I done some extensive research on best family car everyone kept pointing me in the direction of GLC.
- The boot is so generous I can quickly and easily chuck stuff in and out the car, GLC, great!
- it's really comfortable has lots of gadgets on it, brilliant.
So why do I hate it so much? The DRIVE! I find it cumbersome, turning corners, parking, being high up, the steering is laboured. My previous cars were CLC Coupe, C-Class Coupe, E-Class Coupe (best of the lot) which I enjoyed driving, not as many gadgets and that but don't care, I would swap GLC any day for E-Class, even a Golf!
Harsh I know, but I would probably have similar opinion on most types of SUV's.
So my advice to anyone thinking on purchasing or leasing a GLC is simply to 'Test Drive it', so important, I didn't which was so stupid of me. Specially if you're used to cars then you may not get on with a SUV.
Hope this helps.
