Mercedes-Benz GLC300 Review | Smoother Than Essential Oils

We do a quick review on the GLC300 SUV. The luxury CUV and SUV market has many blurred lines between value and quality products. Everyone is in on the game and competition between BMW, Audi and Lexus are being chased by companies like Mazda, Kia and Acura. Can these marque brand bring anything else to the table in terms of space and features?

That first interruption from the assistant was hilarious :D

[@blarkdexture8899]

SUV = loosers

[@tjk9263]

@David Vaskelis Nice comeback🤣

[@jhwk1970]

Tap the home button with your right thumb and the voice is gone instantly. It’s just not a problem at all.

[@ronniejaye1]

SUVs just depress me. I have to admit this review is what SUVs are about. Comfortable transportation with a good use of space and luxury. It doesn't try to be a race car and it's not being tested like one. Great job!

[@behindthen0thing525]

Cheerss

[@moeanthony9308]

Good points Ron

[@tjk9263]

I will never buy an SUV. Everywhere you look people are driving them. I want a daily driver that is practical and fun to drive. I will buy a Mini Cooper before i get an SUV and i don't like Mini

[@carlosandleon]

@@tjk9263 get a minivan

[@marcelmercieux]

@rvidal0001 Look at Mr Moneybags over here with two cars /s

[@thepowerofshazam]

I ended up test driving a 2020 GLC 300 because of this video. Ended up buying it!

[@Elijahh747]

So far so good?

[@yelapa999]

With all the switchgear embedded in center consoles these days, I'd love to see a reviewer introduce a "How much will it cost me to spill my latte," segment.

[@hellocar123]

use cup holders, dont be clumsy

[@vetteboy1024]

Love the “if you have a small animal in the back seat you’re going to turn them into pulp”. You’re certainly on top of the KZbin reviews the mix between serious and sarcastic comments makes it so much more involving. Keep up the good work.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Love the orange USB-C LaCie cable because I've used that for the same purpose before

[@tallll70]

You all 4 make perfect pack, Savage for detail information, Doug for goofiness quirks and U2 for straight forward practicality and opinions

[@marcela_dancer3185]

ok qqqqqaqAzq😌

[@jacobbio]

Got the chance to have a glc for 2 months, and it was sooo comfortable, took the bumps easily, and was quiet on the road. My dream suv

[@bassandtrebleclef]

We drove the q5, x3, qx50, rdx, mdx and stelvio before we leased the rwd version of the Glc we have now. To us the Merc had the most comfortable interior and seats, best quality leather (I'm kinda picky with that), very comfortable drive, and surprised us the most because I went in thinking I wouldn't like it at all. All were really good, but for the same money roughly, the Glc felt the best. And Mark is right about the burmester... Worth the money. Just know that this doesn't have any sporting drive feel at all. Which is ok because it's an SUV.

[@bleachx1]

I'd choose the GLC and QX60 last over on your list. My opinion X3 > Q5 > RDX > Stelvio > GLC > QX 50 (MDX is a midsized sedan) and (Burmeister is flat on Bass). Just goes to show everyone has different taste.

[@Karlkn]

Sorry, Most Mrecedes-Benz Interiors Are Apholstered With Mercedes' Propreitary Faux Leather, A Vinyl Material Called MB Tex.

[@bassandtrebleclef]

@@Karlkn don't be sorry. Actually if we buy this after the lease is up, I'll lament having real leather instead of the mb Tex.

[@chltmdwp]

This is not SUV....

[@barrygoldwasser5449]

Smart man, leased. Never buy a German luxury product.

[@arcticblazeify]

I watch a lot of auto reviews. This feels different. Feels good! Feels more informative.

[@joalblo9581]

Your videos are amazing. I appreciate the time you put in to these reviews to give us such a quality video and review.👍🏾

[@bcab7955]

I drove one of these from Stuttgart to Amsterdam in October and was blown away by its smoothness and refinement.

[@realbigtuna667]

Excellent review as usual. This segment is packed. Awesome to have an in depth review here. This will be essential information for anyone looking in this segment.

[@pierre4246]

Your dramatic expressions don't cease to crack me up. "it does not sear you retinas" . They are so good! keep them coming please!

[@tedll75]

Great review. Your production level in your videos is second to none!

[@APokeInTheEye]

Ah, yes! Those beautiful RAV4 rims on an Benz!❤️🥺😘

[@CleanCutCarson]

This has to be one of the best reviews ive seen all week covering the glc300 it was straight to the point in every aspect

[@bbooth1229]

Lots of good information delivered with a satisfyingly snarky attitude and in a condescending tone. I. Loved. It.

[@dkent3853]

How you don’t have considerably more subs is beyond me! ❤️

[@red95gts]

I had one of these as a rental car and put about 1k miles on it. I didn’t know what to expect, but ended up really liking it. Like you mention - smooth ride, extremely comfortable, and the interior is a great place to be.

[@whatmakesyoubetter9264]

i really enjoyed this review . thank-you for doing a great job !

[@oliverrau2801]

Love your videos! Unique style, hats off from Germany.

[@KoronaSaintLouis]

I like the improved format of your videos.

[@kcm732]

Nice to see you back doing some solo stuff Mark. Miss Scott and todd and the funny outros tho lol! Cheers man

[@MrDennywick]

Always enjoy your commentary.

[@lkk1080]

U the best car reviewer. Thanks!

[@Bestfriend-650]

I bought my first ever GLE350 last December. It is my first luxury car as well. I test drove the competitors and I personally liked how Merc drove. I was looking for comfort and smooth ride. Absolutely love it.

[@Kittievr]

If it doesnt do that rock bounce gyrating thing I dont want it lol

[@tskk_NMSL]

Thats only available for the GLE

[@santileonsteinberg1441]

Wayne Heath Yeah, and the GLS as well

[@sohailqureshi22]

Love your work. Great video.

[@YuriTereshyn]

Great video!

[@nikolasschefold8035]

Great review! One of the best! Love the GLC!

[@lulubella83]

I love your reviews!! I am looking for the GLS450, Thoughts? I couldn't't find a video. Thanks a bunch!

[@GimpyMR2]

Keep the Mercedes content coming!

[@DJNAVENDU]

I was about to comment 1:18 "SAVAGE" and then I saw your channel name.. INSTANTLY subscribed :)))

[@bj052088meyers]

I own a G80. Love it! Love your reviews.

[@theredbomb]

The first real and full-fledged review of a Mercedes-Benz, job well-done Mark you just keep on impressing us with your immense and honest dedication to these reviews, hats off to you my man! And I'm glad that you're safe and sound after that crash RIP poor civic.

[@Khademz]

Beautiful review!

[@lightup2150]

Thank you for the good review! I can confirm it's a great car in all aspects, i was very impressed after the test drive, much more than by any other competitors in this class.

[@DoctorChange106]

Excellent review - comfort galore is underrated.

[@johnnyk6906]

less "sarcastic" comments made this review a straight as an arrow review. this is the clearest review you have done so date :-)

[@danieljordan1652]

Hey Mark, Love your work. Thanks for all you do. Lexua just announced a twin turbo v8 for the upcoming LC F. First person I thought of was you. Cant wait to hear your thoughts!

[@gladdy02]

My dad traded in his 2007 E class (it had a couple minor electric gremlins, but held up surprisingly well) for this car. He really enjoys it. Good review!

[@DJDextek]

2007 e 350 best car 2022

[@clearcut6818]

Downgrade

[@YenamSeshie]

Love in-depth all your reviews bro. Possible to review previous Gen GLK 250 or 350.? if u do get a chance to.

[@jjvidtn]

Very nice review. I have the 2018 GLC300 4Matic and after 8100 miles am still very pleased. Mine has the older COMAND system instead of the new MBUX, and from what I have heard, the new system is amazing, but I think I am glad I have the older, simpler system. And, yes, the brakes squeak when it gets cold, but not for long. The ride is quiet but not completely-one still (properly) can hear the engine and road noise, but they are “turned down” with the acoustic windshield. I saw some comments about the “bland” look-but I would call it classy-in a few years, it will not look nearly so dated as the overly sculpted designs one sees in some other cars nowadays. And this four-cylinder turbo can REALLY move. I also keep mine in comfort mode 90% of the time, but when I need extra, sport and sport + makes it feel as if I am on a race track! Super handy for passing.

[@tuncterzi]

do you still have it? recoomended?

[@chrisdblue]

I love your videos so much. Thank you savagegeese

[@joeflanagan9833]

I like when you review these car models like the mid to lower tier of the luxury brands.

[@revmotor]

Looking forward to your new GLA review.

[@lyingonabeanbag]

I would really love a video of Essential Porsche options cause they have everything as options

[@gwcrispi]

The wife wanted the new GLE. I tried to convince her to get a nicer GLC instead. Told her we would do the Stuttgart delivery. That almost had her.

[@kiwan5425]

Honest review. I like that.

[@vinniecorleone62]

A very comprehensive & detailed profile on this expensive German SUV, excellent points as always my friend!

[@ioan_jivan]

The title

[@jabelee2030]

great review ... thanks. Please do a review of the GLE450 thanks.

[@ronaldrollins9149]

The Intro song was beautiful. Any chance of a release?

[@orenda3696]

I came to the comments section to ID that music

[@AzmiJedidi]

You have the best car reviews ever, thank you for the amazing content,it would be of great help if you can review the new GLE, i have mixed feelings about it and cannot decide...i need your opinion.Thanks.

[@lucagattoni-celli1377]

0:57 nice cut Mr. Goose Cannot thank you enough for teaching me about suspension components and geometry. Nothing else like this on KZbin to my knowledge, at least not for a general audience. If you had a shirt with a diagram of suspension components on it I would buy it.

[@Ficon]

All I want is a Porsche Macan with BMW infotainment and GLC interior. I agree with Mark though, if you value isolation above all else this is the car for you.

[@jeffbui]

Thanks for reviewing this thing. As a former S2000 owner and "car enthusiast" with a baby on the way, the GLC ended up on top of my list and you nailed exactly why it was chosen. (Comfort, tech, interior, just the right size) The Macan GTS was test driven and I thought to myself, why spend so much on a sporty SUV when my hatchback (Focus RS) or the wife's BRZ is more fun to drive. Unfortunately, the BRZ got the axe to make room for this one.

[@blackcatsarenopussies]

Spot on on leaving it in comfort mode. Have one and really doesn't need anything more or less

[@danraj23ful]

@savagegeese great vid, please do a review of a Mercedes s class and newer gle/gls, would like to see what you think about those cars.

[@MsGao-rf2ox]

danraj23ful those cars are more expensive

[@eyeyron5007]

Rented one and drove from Vegas to Socal. The ride is very comfortable. The bass is so flat on the sound system and the usb ports kept failing. Other than that power was adequate but the suspension was really good.

[@BulliKid]

Drove the new gla love it

[@rog351]

Very Good review to get your take on the overall evaluation...... I am also very interested in the New Model, MB. GLB. I would be pleased if you could review that model as well when it is available in dealerships ... and/or to get a comparison between The GLB and the GLC. Thanks for your expert opinion(s).

[@kevinwise982]

A manufacturer would really benefit from having you in their R&D department

[@Xbig74]

brilliant wrap up

[@cvgashenoud]

Very good review

[@healychen]

I really dig the poverty-spec small wheels and meaty tires combination.

[@silentsniper441]

mercedes could market it as the massachusetts-proof special. Makes a lot of sense especially considering there's no spare.

[@MrCarguy2]

Yup Free upgrade for ride quality

[@brianlee7207]

That's because those are winter wheels and tires

[@shahulhusman]

Great as always! Review a glc63 or at least a glc43.. Come to the Mb dealership I run and drive em ;)

[@rafa.gastro]

I lease a GLC and all I can say is it a fantastic vehicle.

[@michaela.5363]

I'm happy to see an Opeth song in your soundcheck

[@packman67ny]

Love this guy

[@ryanwarner7950]

Just in case someone's looking for a used glc now, had to point out that all the hvac can be controlled by buttons or the screen. Mine is fully loaded with cold weather pack and cooled seats and I've never went to the screen for any hvac controls. Not sure why he said that. Just a heads up.

[@bartzeegers3663]

I have a c class and it's also the same thing. Really Nice car to drive

[@limpunsing224]

More German luxury brand buyers in the entry level segment are now more inclined to cross shop in the Japanese & Korean brands for more value for money buy Nice review

[@iknowyourerightbut6246]

6:30 the e-class 2019 does a little good opening style for the lights. Adaptive high beam assist- it does make the lights dance a bit and it's fun to watch all the time when driving in dark. The 2014 does come up and dance a bit, but the recent ones have multiple lights in each headlight assembly..!

[@businessman2085]

beautiful opening

[@ak2112]

That steering wheel looks badass

[@IsitReallyrealreally]

First review that makes me want a modern car! SG with the Opeth!!

[@tommyolsen8224]

I love the GLC ❣️

[@jojosnet]

Just traded my GLA 250 for this GLC 300 and I highly recommend a GLC over the GLA 😀

[@iknowyourerightbut6246]

Mercedes always had those interior lights that come up slowly. My 2014 E- and some loaners in the past 2 years.

[@davereimer1797]

Great review on the GLC Mark. BTW - whats with the G80 Sport there? Did you finally pick one up? Another Genesis G80 review coming soon....?

[@matthewavignonpetersen5893]

Hey SavageGeese, you’re an Opeth fan?! Love ya guys even more. 🤟

[@jaysefmacmanus8858]

I was already a fan. After seeing this, I'm borderline stalker.

[@thedoriangray666]

I noticed this, too. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Snowhite808]

one of the most cozy MB-s I know. A bit too much electronic blabla for my taste but the ride and the friendly appearance and practicality of it is real good. My spec was around 49k.

[@JimS870]

A relative of mine has one of these. It's whisper quiet inside, it's like a museum compared to my 2016 Mustang GT. Quick car, good mileage. And much better fuel economy than his Audi 2.0T.

[@dean827]

Excellent review. I have a 2018. The only issue I have is the side to side movement, it makes me and my kids sick after 30m-1 hour of travelling. One needs to try out this car for a day before you buy. Other than that it's awesome

[@jjvidtn]

Dean, I also have a 2018. There is no side to side movement in mine at all. You need to get this fixed; it really should not be there at all!

[@chltmdwp]

Beautiful intro music

[@Marcus_972]

The AstroGlide of generic looking suppository shaped rides.

[@AndietheLab]

SOLD! All time lowest harmonic distortion - PAWFECT!

[@jobber1984]

Go Andie Go!

[@CoreHibb]

😂😂😂

[@luckymerman]

Great review. I would like to see how the GLB 250 stacks up to the GLC 300. Can you do a comparison review soon? Looking at purchasing one or the other soon.

[@clearcut6818]

Anything that has a B in it, is designed for the younger poorer suctomer segment.

[@waynebrinker8095]

Back in the 80's I had an RX-7 and my girlfiend had a GLC.

[@captainchau]

I would loveeee it if you could get your hands on a Kia K900 seems like a great used buy in the future.

[@nicolas286]

I actually love mine.

[@fabianherrmann6398]

Very good review. I loved to watch you go especially smoothly over the details but the car itself is so utterly non interesting to me - which is fine cause I cannot afford it anyway. It is however perfect for better off older folks and their grand kids sure will love borrowing it to drive to a club or something on weekends.

[@simJ94]

@savagegeese we need to see the weight distribution! I noticed lately your videos do not include this crucial information.

[@iknowyourerightbut6246]

Just picked up a loaner 2020 GLC with nice wheels and LED lighting package. Basic distronic package. It is super smooth and nice. But I'll go for GLE than this GLC as I currently own a E350 2014..! I specifically asked the SA to give me a GLC or something and definitely not GLA, which doesn't feel like Mercedes in the first place. I'm surprised by the quality.

[@garrettbatista5991]

Best in class.

[@mikenormandy9250]

I missed you Mark :-)

[@johnbower7981]

At first glance, I didn't see him as an Opeth kind of guy. The Watershed album is amazing.

[@lyingonabeanbag]

I want you to review cars that are pure emotion like the mini or beetle. Cars which are loved

[@WeJustDrive]

OPETH? You are now super cool in my book.
