Anybody seen any actual reviews of the GLC43 yet?

I know it's new, but has been available to spec on the MB website since I first started looking a couple of weeks back and I read somewhere that deliveries were due to start in June/July, so I'm surprised that there isn't more than launch stories around online. I haven't found any actual reviews/roadtests.

I'm moving house and debating the whole one-car option, binning my Z4 and C350 wagon, but struggling to settle on what I need (since my wife refuses to accept that a 911 and a roofbox would tick all the boxes).

Macans still seem to high-priced for me. I don't really like Audi (nothing rational) or the SQ5 would probably do it. The X3 isn't really lighting my fire, an E63 wagon is probably too much, but it seems like a GLC43 might hit the spot if it's a decent steer...

Real ownership experience? Even better. Fascinated to hear how you get on. Did you manage to haggle anything off? Carwow seems to have 6% or so off, so I'm guessing that even as new as it is they're not wildly confident about their pricing.

Never heard of a GLC450. Will have a rummage, ta.

Yep - me too. It was the price compared to the 25CDI that caught my eye (after the performance etc).

Nice one - interested to hear your experiences when they arrive. I had a call from MB Gatwick to go and try one, but haven't been able to find any time yet.

Well that looks cracking - pretty much the spec I was looking for. STILL haven't had a weekend free to go have a shufti, so this update is great.

Couple of weeks in now, what's your mileage like? Not the point of a car like this, obviously, but still of interest. Don't want to spend my life filling up.

As a single car option, this just sounds better and better. Thanks for the responses - much appreciated. Will go get some firsthand impressions, you've convinced me. Ta!
