GLC300
Benz Newb
1st Mercedes - 2016 GLC300 loaded including Sport pkg.
Coming from Infinity. Loved my G35x and G37x, but needed more room to take mom on trips, etc (dad just passed 2 months ago) His QX50 (which original plan was for me to buy when came off lease) just being turned in. Not sure on Infiniti's going concern with them pulling out of Oz and Europe... so hear I am.
Still getting my bearings. Not used to NOT having a spare, let alone a full size spare, so still trying to figure my way around that. Definitely will be looking for a backup set of rims, as while this GLC is a 4Matic, I have always enjoyed the extra grip of snow tires and AWD in New England, as well as the convenience about swapping wheels/tires as part of a tire rotation. Have been doing most of the general maintenance on my own since a kid, and had I kept thee g37x, would have done replace the suspension on my own, since only a couple little tricky parts.
Still can't believe some of the crap like Android Auto difficult to load or won't work with the 2016 GLC without some serious gymnastics, but c'est la vie. Have been driving for long time off my S8 in a vent clip, and as annoying as not being able to just throw that up on the 8.4" screen, I bought the car for the ride, not my phone.
Pickup day is tomorrow as dealer still taking care of some scratches on the AMG rims, etc.
