GL 450
I really really like mine. Smooth ride. Does the job. Somewhat laggy with the turbos but when it kicks, it kicks. I've had to go through the problem of a hose that connects to the turbo cracking (someone may have the actual name of of the hose) that causes significant coolant leakage. Seems to to be a very common problem according to those forum and the Mercedes rep I spoke with. Those are just my two cents so far.

Welcome to the forum bud

Yes I had the same problem of coolant leakage, its called Y pipe that drains back coolant, I also notice turbo lag and this engine can perform way better but mb has decided to keep it low, I personally feel it has too much body roll as I don't have the package to reduce it, halogens lights are very subpar, more personally seats are uncomfortable while driving in city and they are kind of ok for long rides and not as comfortable as other cars I owned in the past from other brands.
