Who the GLC suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Living with the GLC
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Try before you buy
A test week in the GLC tells you more than any review. Rent the GLC first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the GLC on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
