2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK — Flash DriveSource: MSN Autos...The GLK has a smooth ride, but isn't very "sporty." – Paul HaggerThe new GLK is Mercedes-Benz's latest entry into the subcompact SUV market. Coupled with angular sheet metal, 20-inch rims and a bold grille, the GLK appears to be the baby brother of the G-Class Gelandewagon. The GLK is a pleasure to drive, thanks to the venerable V6 engine, which is smooth and strong off the line. It delivered 21 mpg in mixed driving due to the efficiency of the 7-speed automatic transmission. The interior is super attractive when equipped with the optional aluminum accents or the burled walnut trim... |

2010 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...More consequential are the GL550's 21-inch alloy wheels and sporty P295/40R21 tires, which combine with unusually precise steering to make curvy roads a bit of fun. There's still enough power assist at lower speeds for tight parking-lot maneuvers, though at times I found lumpy pockets of resistance while navigating our downtown parking garage. That's a noticeable difference from the steering wheel's confident, planted feeling on the highway. Naturally, fun comes at a price. The GL550's advanced suspension can't make up for the brittle ride quality of its thin 40-series tires. You'll hear and... |
