Thanks for the update, good to know. GLC, for its age when designed and released is still a standout.

The m260 mated to the 8 speed DCT transmission is very quick for a car this size. It’s Great for taking off at the lights.

I still dont like MBUX touchscreen interface as a driver, and the lack of the centre trackpad is annoying.

The ride is nice and plush for standard suspension. Even though they’re RFTs, the large tire size really smooths out the ride. However it has a high centre of gravity and is boxy, so it gets to the envelope of bad body roll a bit too soon for my tastes.

The cabin is also noticeably noisier; tire and outside environmental noise is noticeable while driving.

Ya I mean we shouldn't compare GLC to GLB, we should compare the new GLC to the X253 GLC to be fair, I heard the sound insulation improvements are made on that car.
