GLE350 - chick car?
We bought my wife's CPO 2016 in December 2018. Paid around $39k out the door with 22k on the odo.
She's had it a year now and hates it basically because it isn't big enough the doesn't like the sensitive throttle. She also said it's too much of a chick car. LOL - that one kind of shocked me. Did did get rid of a Yukon to get the GLE though but always *****ed about not being able to park it in all of the tight lots.
Recently tried to trade out of it into a GLS450 and they wanted to give me $25k. No way I was going to take that kind of hit and told my wife to make nice with the car because she'll be in it a couple of more years.

Put her in a CRV for a few months and I bet her tune will change. Last month we bought a ‘16 GLE in steel gray with the AMG appearance package for my wife, and she thinks it’s a bit masculine but loves it. Her previous car was a Honda Pilot that she drove for five years. It’s all perspective.

Not sure why women even bother with SUV's. Just get her a Dodge Caravan. All the space she needs and then some. Slow as can be so worries about the throttle being touchy either lol.

if its not big enough for her needs than that may be a valid concern. only you guys can judge that. But that would've been apparent when you initially bought it so I'm not sure why you guys would've bought a car too small in the first place?

You made a good choice Bigmike.
most likely, the only reason she said it looked like a chick car, is because her hater friends were jealous and repeated something their hater husbands said of older models...
imo, w166 looks more muscular than the v167(2020)~
