'14 GLK250 Diesel
Couldn't be happier - 5200 miles on our C300 Lux. Just a great all-around touring car.
I only wish we could have the option to buy either or both of the diesels - the 2.2 and 3.0 - offered everywhere else in the world....maybe 2009-10.

1300km ~ 800 mi so far... only problems are:
- Exterior mirrors that would not unfold once because of ice (not the car's fault but could have a stronger motor, I suppose)
- Squeaky brakes when the weather is cold
- Spilled fuel once because the pump did not jump/pop off
I'd have to see if the brakes wear in, but otherwise I would consider the car troublefree thus far. And I am still giddy as a little girl.

C300 Sport 6-spd
My two minor problems are:
- Sometimes, the brakes squeal when braking at low speeds, such as stopping at a traffic light. This problem started around 1,000 kms., but the dealer stated that it should go away as the car breaks in. The squealing stops after washing the car, or whenever it rains, so the problem seems to be that brake dust accumulates between the rotors and brake pads.
- When the weather is freezing cold, the car shudders slightly when driving off in 1st. gear. However, the transmission is as smooth as silk after it warms up.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with the vehicle and would recommend it to any potential buyer. I bought a set of set of rims and Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 winter tires from Tire Rack, and the car feels solid and secure in all weather conditions.
