5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT THE 2020 MERCEDES GLC 300

[@dougboczulak5896]

I spent ten dollars and bought two USB C cables

How often you speak alone into car saying "Mercedes" ??

[@lumaprince8309]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Plus the car only jerks when is 1st gear in manual mode despite being in comfort or sport/+

[@jhwk1970]

You can instantly silence Ms. Mercedes by blipping the the home button on the steering wheel with your right thumb. After a year it just hasn’t been a problem. I think she speaks up way less than initially. Too bad I can’t so easily silence the female voice from the passenger seat that thinks I couldn’t drive to Walmart or her Mother’s without endless driving instructions.

[@amandaavia]

@@jhwk1970 you can turn it off in settings

[@BrianKushner]

My GLE450 came with several adapters for the USB C. Or you can simply get a USBC to Lightning.

[@nicolasboukas6491]

My friend your purchasing a vehicle that’s over 60K, are you really going to worry about 20$ for a usb-C cable

[@nicolasboukas6491]

Ashley Archibald I agree but because USB is a thing of the past and today it’s wireless or USB-C ....... for them not put many ports, but they also could of put USB and USB-C

[@ImDembe]

@@MurshyMurshroom Hard to complain when people want the latest infotainment system but not knew tech, USB-C cables are more expensive but they are also better than the older ones. Could have gone with one new and one old or put in some adapters. Don't know where the 12v socket is located in the car, a very usefull socket imo.

[@joflynn5]

Mercedes dealers have USBc adapters free of charge to give customers. Make sure you just ask for some.

[@mvaldas]

The adapter you can take from any Mercedes dealer or from where you buy car ?

[@maryellenaydam4383]

I was trying to decide between the X3 and the GLC and your review was really helpful. Hello Mercedes.

[@mydevices768]

I've been with the GLC 2017 since and had tried the 2020 also, it's the same. Suspension is the worst part on this car, it feels like a groceries cart whenever you drive on the slightest bad road (almost the same in the 2020) Transmission and throttle combo: is indeed super jerky when doing stop and go in either traffic jams or making quick stops.Just those 2 things are to the point that it's embarrassing to me whenever I have guests on board "my Mercedes" so I must be be extra careful about my driving to avoid those situations as much. Throttle is artificially slowed in an exaggerate way in comfort mode and very frustrating to me, I find it dangerous at times when you need to insert yourself in traffic from an intersection! this means you will never get the power you want when you need unless you almost floor the gas paddle and takes at least a good 2 secs. The sport mode is way better for that and I would keep it on at all times but 2 problems; 1) the RPM will raise by 1/2x1000more as long as sport mode is on 2) Even if you don't care about gas and pollution in sport you must enable back at every start of the engine. Sound system before 2020 is super bad! no bass, muffled sound no matter how you try to adjust it sound like ass, such insult at this price point, Kia as a way better sound system in my friend's sorento by far. Air suspension already leaking from visit to chalet, and no I have not used the car in any abusive way!! More very annoying things: after a while the center console cracks during driving as well as my driver's side door plastics. They did fixed it at the dealer by tightening the screws but it only lasted for a month! Then you also get the air-vent traps adjusting airflow inside the vents that started making noise every 20 seconds or so. For the 2020 I would also like to point out that they could have refreshed the outdated front grill design. I would also say that the paint is of a poor quality, not durable. the inner lower door steps will get rusty quickly. My recommandation: Don't buy! There are way better built and durable vehicles out there that will give you much better value for your $$ especially if you don't lease. And between the 2, as I also know BMWs, I believe the X3 is a much better car and experience all around.

[@jhwk1970]

The car learns to quit responding to every time “Mercedes” is uttered. Also a quick tap on the home button on the steering wheel with your right thumb immediately silences it. I haven’t had to do it for months.

I recently purchased a 2019 GLC 300 Coupe and I don't understand how Mercedes specs out these vehicles I've noticed that some AMG 43s and 63s don't come with cooled seats like mine did I've never owned a Mercedes this will be my first and I'm still trying to recognize how this line of vehicles are decked out compared to American vehicles that each one has its trim level I've seen some higher trim level Mercedes that don't have the specs my 2019 has but all in all vehicle is great I love the 4rmatic system these vehicles come with. .....By the way is it normal for these vehicles to sound like a diesel engine?

[@NoDontLikeIt]

[@mlai2546]

I can answer your question about keyless entry. My friend who owns a Honda Odyssey Touring kept getting his car broken in because it had keyless entry. It is easy to steal the code and there is nothing the car manufacturer can do. It is for security reasons. I am glad my GLC does not come with keyless entry.

[@WeaponGrade]

Hey, thanks for taking time to make a vid. But please, old usb is called USB Type-A!!! I was shocked to learn GLC does not have it! Also would be great to give us an update on your experience 3-years later. How did it hold up over the years?

Omg, no keyless entry? I have a 2017 and its keyless. I live in New York and I drive in Sport all the time

[@terrencepayneii614]

I would definitely say your video is very helpful, but you complain a lot because no disrespect but your car is a very base model car. If you really want to complain less, you should either consider a more expensive one or a GLE. I do agree that BMW is a more smoother car but the new GLC is much faster than the X3.

With the new software upgrade the high Mercedes or hey Mercedes feature is now working well and it doesn't interrupt your conversation when you just use the word Mercedes anymore so that is fixed the only other thing about the complaint is the lag in the sport gear shift and also the tire wear on the run-flat tires that come with my 4matic is too high I just switched to some high mileage michelins to replace my pirellis and it handles better too.

What a hero. Of course the Hey Mercedes future is meant to be activated only if you say only the two words. You say it in a sentence, it shouldn’t go off. BTW, the new iPhones come with USB C cables and I would say, if you can afford this car, you could get a charging cable that fits the car and there are cables out there where both ends are USB C, so get your sh-it together. The sport future is meant to be more rough, just as it is with manual transmission, but ok, how you should figure out, right? And yeah, you switching to sport mode when driving in a parking lot and wondering it steers a bit heavier, and then in the next sentence you telling the people that the heavy steering applies only with higher speeds? A complete saying against each other, or do you race in the parking lot? BTW, the shift paddles reacting all the time the same way, but you should at some point be able to figure out that you need to apply the same pressure on them when you expecting the same result. But ok, Americans who driving with sun glasses on in shady weather conditions are most likely just noisy, producing just hot air, without any content and you are their role model. What a clown.

I have two minor annoyances with our new 2020 GLC. First is the horn beep when locking the car; have not found a way to disable it. Second, the instrument cluster design is such that the steering wheel blocks my view of the top part of the screen and top outside corners of the tachometer and speedometer because I have the steering wheel positioned low.

Try this Press both the lock and unlock buttons on your remote for two seconds. Watch for the hazard lights to flash three times. Lock the doors and confirm that the horn does not sound.

I believe the Mercedes’ are far too sensitive.

[@davidwebster2616]

A channel I'd like to recommend is Super Car Tube (SCT), it's a European channel & today they featured the 2020 GLC 200d "Sports Edition" at the 2020 Brussels Car Show. A spectacular looking vehicle & I wonder if that diesel engine would be offered here in the States & if it would have the same transmission issues as the turbo. BTW, I viewed KellyBook YT channel & during their review of the new Audi A3 they were also complaining about the half a second delay in the turbo boost. The reviewer commented that it was dangerous if a truck was coming & you needed to get out of harms way in a hurry! That's why I generally prefer a V6 over a turbo & don't know why over the last ten yrs or so the trend seems to be nothing but turbos, maybe there better on gas mileage because they use a smaller engine, I don't know. But in terms of design Mercedes has nailed the GLC & GLE that's for sure!

Coming from owning 4 or 5 Audi's and buying a 2019 GLC MB I was disappointed with UI and and cheapness on it. The carplay is missing features, the base audio system is a joke, many of the other owners joke how bad it is and the whole UI interface via the screen and wheel interaction is just weak. It's like something they had laying around and slapped it into the SUV thinking it's MB they will deal with it. I mean almost 50k SUV with sound worse than a 2015 Prius.... LED headlights are extra? the list goes on, the biggest joke is the rear cargo door foot opening feature doesn't work. I even asked the dealer but they couldn't get it to open, so I asked it to be looked at when they were doing a warranty item repair and they forgot to check ... So If your going to buy a MB, look at the Audi and BMW and compare the inside and operation of the head unit and stuff.... '

Why would anybody switch to sport plus at a parking lot? It is a nonsense. Why people complain about heavy / hard steering when they intentionally switch to sport mode? And again the sport mode is for fast driving not for e.g. 15 mph, the gear box becomes jerky because that's the way sport mode gives you feedback.
