2019 C300 4MATIC
2025 GLC 300 4matic

I have been excited about trading in my 2019 C300 4matic for a 2025 GLC 300 4matic. I have enjoyed every minute of driving the C300. After 80k miles, I have never had one problem with it. Now I need an SUV, and thought my decision to get the 2025 GLC was easy. But now I see there are so many negative reviews from the 2024 GLC owners. And a lot of owner reviews saying they had to invoke the Lemon Laws. I understand the first year of a redesign can have more problems, but these reports are continuing into 2024, the second year of the redesign. There are so many, and a lot are quite serious. Tales of people left stranded, the car shutting down for no apparent reason, or the car jerking jolt-forwards upon engine starts, battery drains for no reason, differentials needing entire replacements, software issues with no updates or fixes, and more. What are your thoughts on whether these problems persist into the 2025 GLC models?

2024 was first model year so hopefully the 2025 fixed most of these things.

Pretty sure MY23 was the first year of the X254:

Just because the MY24 came out a mere 6 months after the MY23 doesn't mean MY23 didn't exist!

Sorry I was looking at the C254 coupe's first model year, I stand corrected.
