06 C 350 2014 GLK350
Switching to 2015 C300
I decided our GLK 350 isn't the right car for my wife. She is 5' tall and has to sit too close to the wheel to reach the pedals. I fear that if the airbag ever deployed that she could be seriously injured.
Since the car is primarily for her, she tried the new C300 and it seems to fit her better.
Although we have only driven the GLK 4,000 miles, I must admit it is as fine a driving car I have ever owned. Other than for wind noise, there isn't much I can complain about.
The GLK has been completely trouble free and I fear that the first year of the new C300 may not be that way but I know that any issues will be resolved.
I have enjoyed this forum and wish every GLK owner the very best.

Well, things have changed. I have cancelled my order for the C300 and will be keeping our GLK350 and hope to replace it with the 2016 GLC.
The main reason for sticking with our GLK is that, after several hours test driving a C300, my wife couldn't get comfortable in the seat. She is only 5 feet tall and sits too low. The side mirror was directly in her view so she wasn't able see where she was turning. Also, she has difficulty getting out of low seats while, with the GLK, when getting in, she sits on the seat and swings her legs in and getting out is a matter of swinging her legs out and sliding down to the ground.
By the way, my 2014 GLK 350 has been completely trouble free. It is a great automobile.
It's good to be back

It's funny but, today, I'm back caressing my GLK. I forgot what a great car it really is. For one thing, my 2014 GLK 350 is a mature product that has been completely trouble free for over a year. The early C300's have had a number of things wrong that are typical of early production.
It is good to be back.
