Yes. It's a stupid design. HVAC and Sound should be regualr ROTARY knobs. I'm not interested in stuffing around in menus to adjust basic critical functions. That is the exact opposite of the ergonomics that Mercedes places such emphasis on from the late 60's thru the early 2000's.

For awhile, in the 80s, my parents drove a Mercedes-Benz 300SD Sonderklasse (a diesel W126 S-Class). I’ve always wanted a Mercedes (once close with a well used ‘03 SL55 AMG). I think that almost all of their designs have aged well (style/design-wise) over the decades. At least… better than most. And even though I can’t see a Benz in my driveway in the near future, I really appreciate them on the roads. Nothing really looks like a Mercedes-Benz. And this latest model is no different… which is a good thing. Thanks for the video.

I have had the 2023 GLC 300 now for almost 2 months. I was a little concerned how the touchscreen would work out as I am a physical button and knob guy. Once I got used to it is actually very easy to use. You can control pretty much everything from the steering wheel too. To me it is easy to differentiate between the 2022 and 2023. Great car! My wife and I love it.

When I was shopping around between the SQ5 and the GLC 43 AMG, my vote was leaning more towards the GLC. The only thing which let me down, was that stupid transmission shifter on the stalk. This time around? They softened the front end, and not in a good way. I feel the previous gen/iteration was better looking, Sportier if you will, but sure that's all subjective. The X3 is better looking than "This" GLC.

Another great "A to Z" review. I like this vehicle and how it drives/rides but cannot stand the lack of hard buttons for frequently used functions and, frankly, these screens look like the designers velcro'ed ipads onto the dashboard. If you want leather and heated rear seats, you have to pony up for pricey packages and the MSRP quickly climbs to above $70k - and that's before adding the Burmester. I'd have a hard time living with this I'm afraid. To each their own but I'm going to hold onto my XT6 for now (and that vehicle is far from perfect itself).

As a current Mercedes owner, I am continually baffled by the low urgency that the dealer service network provides to customers. I’ve lived in two major metropolitan areas, and dealt with 4 dealers (pre and post pandemic) and the story is always the same. The care that I receive once I finally get into service is excellent, but it takes weeks to get into the dealership. Our Hondas, on the other hand, may not get a white glove “free espresso “ experience, but service appointments happen in just days. With new cars necessitating dealer service as the only option, they have to get a handle on this. Until I can see my 2016 serviced promptly, I wouldn’t consider another.

Make no mistake: this beautiful interior benefits from the very nice "enhanced ambient lighting" option. Mercedes is known for delivering cars without it. I bought a "GLC 300e AMG-LINE" which should have been equipped with this option. Well the car was delivered without it and basically they said: "Bad luck Mr. customer: there's nothing we can do about it. It's due to a shortage of semi-conductors". If you don't believe me, ask your dealer: They have an internal memo explaining this problem. Of course: NO REFUNDS and NO “RETRO-FITTING”. I got a lawyer envolved and the offerd 1400 EUR to spend in their dealership. I refused so we will go to court. Sad but true story.

I’m I GV70 owner, and I think the genesis looks better in and out, but really wanted to hear you objective perspective about how it feels and performs in your view. I don’t care about the badge, and compare with the GLC previous gen, the GV70 was just ahead all around. Is this new GLC close that gap? Is it better than the GV70 in your view? About the quick and radical changes Koreans do to their generic brands, it doesn’t looks like they will do the same with Genesis. The G70 and end GV80 (the oldest models) have received just minor styling and features updates so far.

Very nice SUV, but in the US two major issues. Our 2023 GLC AMG body with 20s came with Continental EcoContact 6Q. Very quiet, terrible in the rain. Worst part, we had a flat 4 miles from new. Unrepairable. Guess what, these tires are not available in the US . According to Continental , these are for the European market only. Comment from Mercedes, just put another make but same size on your AWD GLC. Zero help from Corp. Don't they understand you can mix tires on a AWD. They did put this in writing. No problem, had a new SL55 on order plus 30 fleet units, cancelled all of them and bought a Lexus LC500.Incredible car. Will sell the GLC end of the year or sooner. Mercedes customer service still stinks in my opionion.

So yes we love our cars so much that we pay these outrages prices, an the manufactures take advantage of that; i guess in north america nobody would pay 100K for a glc, because of the cheaper competitors. But 70% of all new cars and 85% of new premium cars in Germany are registered to companys and businesses, so not many people can afford these luxury cars, but companys or business owners can, but mostly because of tax advantages. This is why you see so many premium cars in germany. And then we also have longer delivery times, for the glc its 9 to 12 months; and the warranty is only 2 years long. So everybody in North america can be glad that the german car manufactures treat you so much better than the customers in germany.

The exterior is still handsome to me. It's the new MB interiors I can't get over. I know many will not agree with me, but I feel they've taken a real step backwards. The weird mix of shapes; circles, ovals and squares, looks like it was designed by a child. The inconsistent use of materials is very un-Mercedes like as well. Beautiful materials in some spots and cheap, poorly put together plastics in others. Shiny black plastic on the doors? Really? And that steering wheel is the worst! Looks nice! But those touch sensitive buttons don't work when you want them to and they do work when you accidently touch them while driving. In my opinion, this just comes off as cheap looking and poorly designed. MB won't be getting my money any time soon.
