GLK350
Just got 2015 GLK350 after trading in 2010 GLK350...
GLK was the better choice when I bought the 2010 one, and is still the better one when I bought the 2015 one recently. X3 and Q5, back then and now, still are not as good of a value as GLK. Plus I got a great trade-in price from the dealer for my 2010...
So far everything is perfect...except I notice 2015 GLK does not have headlight washing system Not that I mind but it's just strange that they had it on my 2010 with Xeon but not the 2015 one with same Xeon.
360 camera, AHA, ECO mode, colour driver LCD display, high-res navi screen, etc I love all the improvements they made since 2010
Overall, even though it seems silly to buy more-or-less the same car but it is still a better choice IMO than X3, Q3 or Q5.

Congratulations on the purchase! Have you noticed that the rockers, a source of complaints about making clothes dirty on earlier models, are narrower on the 2015? I thought there was a difference when I drove a 2015 loaner earlier this year.

The 2010 one was mostly OK, but mileage was a bit high (116K km).
It had the alternator and battery replaced (out of warranty). A couple months ago while driving on highway it threw out a battery charge error code and the driver display lit up all red. The car still worked fine with the code on and it went away after a restart. I figure I don't want to deal with the potential issue and decided to sell it.

I also notice the windshield wipers are much better now. Water don't get "dragged" back to the driver's line of sight, and the wiper arms are hollowed out for lighter weight and better aerodynamics.
I am really impressed by all the improvements they made since 2010. It feels like a totally different car.

Tate, congrats on the 15 and clean pants too
You've got the best of the GLK pre "dinner roll" upgrade for 16 as well. I had a long look at the x3 and although would have liked the extra few inches in length the MB was a much better package imho..
Go on post some pics....
