 I have now driven the vehicle for about 18 months.  Overall, I really like this SUV.  The ride is smooth, quiet and comfortable.  The excelleration is great as is the handling.  I have two main problems.  First, the technology is difficult to navigate and should be a lot simplier go use.  For example, I think that the remote start is ridiculous.  Instead of making it simply by just pushing a button like other much less expensive vehicles, you have to go to this long convoluted process that takes much too long.  In fact, I've had a separate remote starter installed because I got so annoyed.  Second, my GLC does not have a spare tire.  The factory tires can drive flat for about 50 miles.  But if you experience a flat on some of the nation's highways, you may much more than 50 miles from a dealer.  This can, and has ruined 2 days of a trip for me.  It seems that for the cost of this vehicle a spare should be provided.
