Surprises!

So my lovely wife just passed on her over one year old 19 GLC63 to me as she recently acquired a Macan GTS, something she has been wanting since it came out. I used my paid for car as down payment. Anyway, I really did not pay attention to details since I did not consider it as mine. Now I just found out that it has what Mercedes call hands free access, where I can use my foot to open the rear if my hands are full. I also learned we paid for AMG track pace app for $150. Which I can’t even download via App Store here in the US. Anyway have you had surprises in your GLC after a while of owning it?

I'm surprised that I like it way more than my Macan Turbo. 😉

Thats what I thought as well but it’s something she really wanted.
I’m enjoying this one at the moment. I’ll do a few mods to suit my taste!

This is my first Mercedes. I was surprised by the amount of YouTube videos on secret functions on the Mercedes vehicles.
I'm sure most are in the lengthy GLC Manual.

Who watches YouTube and read the manual now a days anyway? Keep the sarcasm coming.

What's wrong with YouTube? It's honestly the best source for watching GT3 racing. And amateur car reviewers pretending to be experts.

True, just the other day I watch a guy reviewing a GLC63s who claimed you can only get the red strip on the steering wheel with the S and I have the red strip so I had to double check maybe I got an S but no I still just have a GLC63. Sometimes they just confuse as more.

I have red strip envy! Wonder if there's any way to do that aftermarket...
