@@Norcalw204 i have a 2010 gl450 and I love it super reliable, only this gives issues is air suspension. Engine is a rock though, very solid. I dont understand why in newer mercedes they dont offer a brown dashboard its just beige seats with black dashboard.
I love the review, the navigation has saved me a few times when the iPhone doesn’t have signal. Slow as a snail, I agree. Other than that I love the design of this MB
I know I own a 2012 model but Benz don't sell their cars like that unless you special order it. 99% of the buyers of Mercedes Benz walks in talks to a dealer and he tells them what he has available in the dealership inventory. Sometimes chain dealerships that work together in a region will bring up the regional inventory list. For some reason since 2010 to the date of me writing this a lot of North East USA inventoried C, E and GLK Class do not come with Lighting Package.
What I don't understand is why are these nav/app system in cars are so SLOW. That is when you can buy a $300 cellphone that has a far superior navi system with superior processing power. Today's cellphones make these system look like they're from the 90's. And they have the audacity to charge thousands for this shit!
When we took back our 2010 Lease last July for a 2012 C300 the NY Dealer showed us their entire inventory for the North East Region USA and not one C300 Sedan in the inventory had the lighting package. A few C350 Sedans and C Coupes had the Lighting package but that was it. Of the E & GLK Class we looked at as alternatives I would say 90% of those vehicles did not have Lighting Package. Even the sales guy was perplexed by that. However, the xenon option could be retrofitted for a hefty price.
Exactly! Its not about the lighting package. Its putting a halogen bulb in a reflector bowl that kills me. It makes the car look cheap no matter what car it is or what price.
Might as well buy a 2013 Lexus RX with all the options, despite having a FWD based layout and reliable features. This GLK will depreciate more than the RX will.
@851995Stargate I'm in no way talking about Xenon headlights. I'm simply talking about rather than having clasp looking headlights in a reflector bowl, use projector bulbs like they have been doing up until the 2013 revamp
I test drove the GLK,X5,JX,Q7, and was plan on testing ML, but I picked new 2014 Grand Cherokee. With all these luxury vehicles, you would have to get option packages for so many features. For example, power Lift gate is standard on my vehicle. I have all the features without breaking my bank.
Could the 3G slowness be because of that massive brick wall in the background, most likely between the car and the closest cell tower? Howe many bars on the cell phone in that spot? Seems arbitrary and unscientific.
@Mathew Krampshin I understand that and I totally agree with you. I'm a hardcore Mercedes-Benz fan boy myself. However. The current standard choice of headlights they have for the C & GLK class is not exactly high quality.
I don't think I have ever seen one of these on the road with the Xenon/LED headlight options. It baffles me... It's honestly the only cool thing about this car so why wouldn't you option it??
Wow, my wife and I love the styling of this vehicle and are thinking of getting one due to potential family size increasing. But after this review, I'm definitely thinking of looking elsewhere...BMW X1 xdrive35i M-sport?? Would rather have turbo anyway...
Best car ever, super reliable. Had mine for 5 years and counting.
Molly Marie good stuff. It’s an awesome car. I clean mine twice a week minimum and do maintenance all the time

I'm cracking up this guy is a trip lol Thanks for the honest review
Looks so much better in person you'll fall in love.
LMFAO I luv his reviews they crack me up...lol "its like they ran out of money" lol
Man i miss Cooley's personality on this channel. He was the only reason why i watched car review on here.
I have never understood why everyone wants high def maps, like... just tell me when and where to turn like mapquest, ok?
0-60 time is much faster than what was said. It is 6.1 and under 6 if you know what you are doing.
yup
i think every buyer in this class would appreciate a power liftgate and a panoramic roof...
He is the Jeremy Clarkson of America
This was my dream car but looks like I will have to dream about something else...
how’s your mini?
It might be reachable now?
There's a $1300 bi-xenon package, you didn't think they would give that to you as standard did you?
I miss those videos. Brian Cooley was a real piece of work, but i respect that say it like it is..... 👌
Finally the GLK has an interior that it should have had from day one.

Only Audi is successful with the LED lighting up front. Every other imitator just fails miserably especially M-B with the new G-Class LEDs in front.

For a luxury brand the upgraded lights should of been standard but oh well at least now 10 years later almost all cars have led headlights
this man is the best hands down right now.thanks mr cooley!
This did not age well.
Why?
Why is that?
How did they get a 0-60 time of 7.5 sec this can do it in under 6

Brian do you think you could check out that new cadillac that has a nav. system advertised "Looks like a tablet."?
wow, I just found out about this guy and he is really good! Subscribing right now! Also, could you do some cheaper cars as well? Thanks!
I just love how Brian is direct and that he doesn't beat around the bush! Great!(:
Lmao I'm dying amazing review
Love mine

This was so funny😂
Pause at 7:04 What the?
I wish he would’ve spoke about the leg room

Cooley is awesome! Nice job, Brian!
I gave you a thumbs up for your review but I would get the Q5 any day
Lawd Jebus that thing is fugly
Mercedes uses high quality headlamps. It's the leading luxury brand on the road today.
lol From $37,000 to $50,000 and it still has old school Halogens and not Xenon or LED low beam lighting...FAIL.
That was so funny when you started to fall a sleep! Once again a great review! Keep up the good work Brian!
That biker scared the shit outta me..
Lol still loading
3:37 lol he posted about how slow the app system is.
luv the honest review! thanks for sharing!
Infiniti I sure do! It is a gift & I luv it! Why would you say that I don't?
Thumbs up if you immediately went on Facebook to friend Cooley!
They've always been so reasonable with their option packages.
He still does Top 5s in Cnet On Cars.
Lol
Hilarious review! BRIAN PLZ TOUCH ON THE MATERIALS IN THE CARS TOO, WETHER THEY ARE CHEAP PLASTIC POORLY PUT TOGETHER ETC
LOL.... "establishing data connection....(10 minutes later)... [still] establishing data connection"
Love your reviews ! LMAO !
really pretty car!
Who its daddy is? The rear end ends so fast you think they ran out of money? I like it. :)
This system made Acura's Navi look elite.. :/
Oh Wait. They ARE just not in terms of graphics.
nah, it looks like it's more like a Patriot size, just slightly bigger but same platform I bet.
Looks like MB running out of design. Looks like the previous Toyota Highlander model..sad...
I don't think I have ever seen one of these on the road with the Xenon/LED headlight options. It baffles me... It's honestly the only cool thing about this car so why wouldn't you option it??
This is the same v6 use in the ml. The ml weights about 4700lbs and the 0-60 time is 7.3. Why is glk weights only 4100 lbs but has 7.5 0-60 time?
Ugly design, give me a Lexus please.
Free wheeling alternator, direct injection, stop start technology and a seven speed auto and still only gets 19 city 26 highway ?
Wow, my wife and I love the styling of this vehicle and are thinking of getting one due to potential family size increasing. But after this review, I'm definitely thinking of looking elsewhere...BMW X1 xdrive35i M-sport?? Would rather have turbo anyway...
Wish I could have seen the start stop technology in the video instead of just hearing about it...
The 3.5 liter V6 gets this 4100 pound shoe box up to 60 in about 7.5 sec?.. haha
at that price, i can get a late model Range Rover HSE fully loaded.
Free wheeling alternator? I've seen that Mazda started a trend with its new Close Loop technology. They should patent these things, seriously.
Your car reviews could be done with a dealers color brochure.
...
Beam me up Scotty!
7.5 seconds to 60?? isnt that worse than last years model by about a second?
my man said..."take time to have a smoke" lol
the glk has been around since like 2007 u see them alot here... but the new model is gorgeous
@Saleen5000 TYPO, meant to say their old cars are way better, im a big W140 Fanboy!
thumb up not because of that ugly m,benz but brian.
did any one see something weird from 6:33 to 6:40 is it just me?
apple is original and sumsung just copies them
and i thought these expensive cars are perfect and nice....
What is it with Mercedes and the filament headlights?
How about reviewing the new 2013 Lexus ES 350?
Why do I always look at the time, and it is always 9:11!
How is this guy not on Top Gear?
DO THE NEW G-CLASS BRAIN!! and some exotics
this car looks like a vold subaru forester to me
Bi-xenons are available in the lighting package.
Maybe in the 80s and early 90s but not anymore.
What do you mean? The fact that they look weird/cheap?
Didn't really seem to happy with this one
Didn't really seem to happy with this one
Thumbs up kids cooley is awesome great work
Brian doesn’t know how to do reviews
Classic Cooley review, Love this shit man. Need more Cooley in my day to day!
Anyone else see an older Subaru Forester?
wats up with the porn music
@AnonymoussourceL0L yes they just look cheap.
That's supposed to say "cheap" not clasp
funniest car tech ive ever seen
plzzzzzzzzzzz
Chevrolet Impala 2013
@johnmerritt yeah their old cars ww
Cooley = Jeremy Clarkson of Tech!
Listen to that engine murmur
@cnettv can you do the 2013 GL?
