Noise, I did pay a very close attention to it, wind and road noice I think are the same as ML.
Love Burmester sound system, better than HK in ML to my taste.
Overall so far I like it, lets wait till we go on the long road trip. ))

MB’s of all kinds.
First impression beside smaller size is much better ride (for me) its is more firmed, ML had steel springs and felt like a boat. Steering is more responsive and more attached to the road.

Well yes the plus side of that was the car was paid off, wasnt upside down on my loan, and was able to start fresh.
I can say the only things i miss is the 4Matic feature and the V6 Power it had. Dont miss the Gas consumption, was filling it up 1x a week, sometimes every 5/6 days.
It was my daily driver. Wife and i like to go up the mountains to enjoy the snow so i guess getting the chains will be an adjustment while we have the GLC for the time being.
Is yours 4Matic?

I missed 600 miles ML range for sure, now Im like you at the pump every 5/6 days. On average getting 23 which is about the same as ML but ML had a bigger tank and it was diesel.
So far I really like GLC, only one thing is mission heated rear seats but this option is very hard to find.

Im a skier so AWD and winter tires are the must.

CPO good packages are very hard to find so you might have had to look far and wide, as many users here do for their perfect new or CPO.
And this GLC was sitting in my saved cars for months, I had a few show stoppers on GLC:
RFT and Eco (Stop-Start) I did some research and both could be fixed. So I went ahead and tested GLC, no regrets so far.

I too let my ML350 BT go last spring. It had 52K so I felt as though the diesel engine might let me down pretty soon. I ended up finding a 2019 GLA 45 AMG with 900 miles for a great deal. I really miss the size of the ML but make up for it in zoom!

It was very strange, i was looking for GLE 16-17, but 99% of them were with halogen lights,

upgrade and pay the money and do the reprogramming to go from halogen to LED assembly
Ya, its a nimble car to drive, it drives like a compact a bit (from my experience)
