CONS: Price/ gas mileage

REVIEW: My wife and I have had our GL550 for about 6 months now and love it. We were at first hesitant about the price at just over $108,000 in Canada but overall we are glad we bought it. It is very easy to get car seats in and out of the middle row, as for the 3rd row we have not used it yet. The ...

CONS: Back seat very uncomfortable. Poor performance on snowy, icy roads.

REVIEW: I had an Audi A8L and a Mercedes R class before this. Love most everything about this vehicle except comfort of back seat and snowy, icy road performance. Contacted my Mercedes dealership about different tires and was quoted $3,000 for different tire package!! Will try siping the tires and hope ...

CONS: very expensive (have a 550), big to drive to work every day, poor miliage, very high maintenance

REVIEW: I had a BMW for 8 years before buying this. I miss the sporty ride of my BMW. This vehicle drives like a big boat, very smooth but it feels like a bus. The only reason i went for this over X5 was the third row seat. Third row in X5 is really small. But then, i have only used the third row for 3 ...

CONS: Navi system is not touch screen. Cruise control and steering wheel gear shift not in right place.

REVIEW: Loved it at first sight. Drove very quietly, great pickup for a SUV and the interior was very appealing, and most importantly my wife was also comfortable with the drive and my kids loved the 2 screen DVD system. Did not quite like the Navi system, since it has no touch screen control and did ...

CONS: Poor fuel economy

REVIEW: My vehicle was purchased in April 2007.One year later I had to replace all four tires. This year I had the same fate. Four more new tires!! Never had this happen with previous SUVs I've owned. MB Service dept. claims it's bc of the the weight of the car, it being in 4wheel drive and the ...

CONS: Star on grille is too small

REVIEW: Would have bought this but the star on the grille is too small. Waiting tor MB to make it about 20" in diameter then I'll go for it ...

CONS: a little complicated to use command center at first,

REVIEW: wanted a full time 4x4 since I live on a hill in northern Michigan, and this was a great choice. plenty of room, quiet, 3rd row seating, twin dvd players entertain our twins in the back seat, parktronic works great makes it easy to park this larger vehicle with ease. And the fuel mileage is ...

CONS: paddle shifters are to easy to hit. Command system doesn't work with new generation iPods.

REVIEW: Bought one that was a lemon (Mercedes handled the situation very well) but we have been very happy with the replacement. Drive and ride are excellent and it doesn't drive as "heavy" as other large SUVs I have had. Fuel range is awesome and we have less difficulty finding diesel than ...

CONS: Command system requires a read of the manual, but that effort is rewarded by convenience

REVIEW: I had to think for awhile to come up with a "con", and that about sums it up. It's quieter that a Range Rover, rides much better than an X5 or Cayenne, and handles much better than the Land Cruiser it replaced. I've owned all four, and still have the Cayenne for shorter trips ...

CONS: Hard seats, cramped second row, hard ride on uneven roads, fit and finish below Mercedes standard

REVIEW: We traded our Range Rover for a GL 320 with BlueTec because we wanted additional storage space and better gas mileage. We are getting both of these benefits but there are major negative tradeoffs. The seats are much less comfortable on the GL 320. We take frequent long trips and after 5 hours my ...
