Review | 6 Nov 2013

The second-generation GL is the biggest thing Mercedes-Benz builds, outside of their commercial and military truck ranges.

The GL350 is not without faults, but it does what it is what it's supposed to be: a big, comfy, luxury wagon, and it manages that effortlessly.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GL 350 BlueTEC Review
Owner Review | 11 Sep 2015
When we bought this vehicle in 2013, we initially were so impressed by the space, the comfort and the whole experience of travelling in it over long distances that we thought to keep this vehicle with us longer beyond when Agility program finished its term. It is a very comfortable vehicle and true to Mercedes image, is a mammoth luxury. Despite its size, it manoeuvres well and the steering despite being less precise is a comfortable thing to hold over and steer. The thickness of the steering wheel also is very robust but not hard to grip. Also the cabin is so silent despite being a diesel vehicle. It has got excellent mid range pulling power that enables you to surge within the limits of being with your family and driving sensibly. So we loved it for all these reasons. However, along the way, we are not so keen after two and a half years. Because;- The ride quality over the years bogs this beautiful 7 seater down. We have driven it for 30000 kms, all the time on city roads, highways and freeways. The trouble is; the vehicle seems to have started developing some vibration on speeds above 90 kms/hour. We have changed tyres which also have not resolved the problem. I think that Mercedes should offer the 'anti-roll option' the 'Active Curve System' as a standard feature in 350 and 500 engines, just like it does in the AMG. The back of the body wobbles and it may well be connected to this vibration issue?! As in does this excess wobble create circumstances for underbody to develop some faults, or whether it eats up tyres life? A long car like the GL should not be offered without stabilisation mechanisms as default options. What is the point of buying a luxury SUV when it wobbles and vibrates?
2013 Mercedes-Benz GL 350 BlueTEC Review
Owner Review | 29 Aug 2015
The criteria for buying a car, and what a prospective owner looks at is quite different to what a motoring journalist looks at. I ordered the new Mercedes GL in 2013, sight unseen, after it won the Motor Trend SUV of the year. Breadth of capability was the thing that one over the judges. And Motor Trend is the current benchmark for automotive online journalism. Despite this, I came to realise, that only a prospective owner will review a car properly, and I will in future test it for a day in detail by myself, without the slack jawed oily haired sales "consultant" anywhere in sight. In 2013, the Aussie D was strong, so although the dealer could not give a discount on a brand new model, they chucked in a lot for free: AMG pack, wood, sunroof, buttock heaters, rear seat entertainment, interior upgrade, etc. It was fully loaded minus the heated cupholder... However, its made in the deep south of the US, by two guys called Bubba and Cletus, whose butt cracks are visible from outer space. Consequently the fit and finish are about as polished as their table manners. Some of the interior trim came loose early and had to be fixed. On our first long drive, an unsecured coolant line was cut by the engine fan, spraying coolant over the engine bag and making our car underivable. It had to be towed to the nearest MB garage, who repaired it on the spot. Since then, we have become aware of a shudder through the car at high speeds on the eastern freeway, it is not a wheel alignment or balance issue, but seems to have been reported by other owners as well. The AC system is prone to growing mould, something that constantly needs attention. There is an entire thread on the MB forums on this. The cars UI tech system is very poor, not at all intuitive. It can't use web connect with an iPhone, and the screen is tiny and low res. The outside and reversing cameras don't work at night. They are terrible, had I known I would not have bought this car. This is a deal breaker for an owner, it speaks of very poor engineering. Either Cletus, Bubba or their boss Adolf didn't bother to test drive the car at night, or more likely didn't care about this deep design flaw. It was a calculated lets screw the owner and dare him to do something about it. And people like me, people who buy cars like this, don't like being taken for fools. When that happens we nurse grudges for a long time, multiple automotive purchases. Are you listening Adolf? So whats good about it? Well, there are many positives. It's a three tonne truck without a squeak or rattle. The engine is epic, astonishingly good. The gearbox, brakes and dynamic capabilities are superb. Its 110 litre tank (100 plus the pipes), will easily get you to Warsaw on one tank. NVH is excellent, and the interior minus the tech is a nice place to be. I recommend it in white with a design interior. It is a vast car, that can seat 7 americans in comfort, or 8 non pachyderms quite easily. American megafauna aside, for a normal size person, its a Southbank apartment. Mercedes service is very good. They patiently fix every single problem silently whilst I berate them for working for a marketing led company living in the corpse of a once proud engineering giant. My recommendation is this; wait for the GLS update, buy it 6 months after release, after you have test driven it, get the diesel and get everything on it. Don't pay anymore than 125k regardless of the exchange rate. Get it in white, and get bubba as your number plate, but pull up your pants.
2007 Mercedes-Benz GL 320 CDI Review
Owner Review | 18 Dec 2014
This vehicle has performed exceptionally poorly and has cost my husband and I conservatively over 25000 in under 5 years not including servicing. Suspension issues regularly take it to the garage for repairs, severe transmission malfunction in the first year cost over $12,000 to repair due to a computr malfunction and further to this issue, the electronic sensor malfunction has caused numerous breakdowns and resultant damage to parts such as the main shaft as one computer overrode the other! Unfortunately due to our remote location we have been unable to trade in this vehicle without a huge loss. Mercedes Benz has refused to acknowledge that this car had built in faults that are extremely costly to the owner. Two months after purchasing the vehicle damage to the transmission occurred due to the first of many electronic malfunctioning but only the parts were covered by warranty as we were told we should not have driven the car when the fault lights were displayed although we were driving the car the 2 hours drive to a garage. The parking sensors stopped working properly after the vehicle was only 2 years old and the tire wear is so heavy that it is twice as regular as our other high end 4 wheel drive which drives 40% more kms. Today another regular problem arose as I was driving along a very long straight country highway - huge bouncing and swaying that would last for 10 minutes at a time! Might not happen again for another month or so ...... I am happy to discuss further and persuade anyone to not buy this model as I have encountered others with these same issues.

2014 Mercedes-Benz GL 350 BlueTEC Review
Owner Review | 6 Nov 2014
A friendly warning to all motorists looking into buying a Mercedes Benz GL: Many GL's, especially with 21' AMG rwheels have a hidden defect or characteristic which is not disclosed to you when buying, but which you may discover later when driving the car. Three months ago I purchased a brand new GL350 BLUETEC. After driving less than 500 km, I discovered a vibration in the body at freeway speeds (100 - 120 km/h). The car has been back to the dealer countless times over the last 3 months, and I have spent a huge amount of time and effort in trying to get somebody at Mercedes Benz to do something about it. Their unashamed and comical answer is that the vibration is "normal" and caused by the road surface (on a US$110k luxury SUV with air suspension)! For your reference, all tests were done on the N1 freeway - one of the newest, best and smoothest roads in the country. In essence Mercedes Benz have told me to get lost, and that the case is closed as this is how the vehicle is meant to behave. I have driven various other SUV's, including Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Lexus RX, on the very same roads and have never experienced any vibration whatsoever emanating from the roads. Furthermore, I have discovered that this is a worldwide problem. See this MB owner's forum, where many GL owners complain of exactly the same problem: http://mbworld.org/forums/gl-class-x166/499455-vibration-problem-new-gl550.html If not for this abormal ride problem, otherwise an awesome vehicle. Please be extra careful and think thrice before falling into the same consumer abuse trap.
