The 2010 GLK-Class is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in one trim only, the GLK350 Upon introduction, the GLK-Class is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 268-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 22-mpg on the highway. A 7-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The car made it each way on 1 tank of gas which was a nice surprise after reading some negative reviews about gas mileage. I was pleasantly surprised with the Hwy mileage I got on the trip. The car handled like a charm on the curvy I-50 between Sacramento and Tahoe. The only problems with the car has been the bluetooth connection. It took quite awhile to get my LG Shine to connect with the bluetooth in the car and on most occasions I need to turn the phone off and then back on to get the phone to connect to the BT. I took it to the dealer and they told me the car works best with Motorola phones !!! I could be wrong but I thought BT was BT ???? One other issue is when making calls out the cars phone reads connecting for up a minute while you never hear a ringing sound. The person being called says their phone never rang. It seems to work a bit better now that the cars is getting broken in!!!!
I personaly like the GLK-Class of Mercedes-Benz.It's good looking, good motor, small and nippy. I think it was about time Mercedes broaght out a small suv. It's sortof like a C-Class crossover
