Thinking Mercedes GLC

Had a brief test drive in GLC today- better than I thought it was going to be- got a half day arranged next weekend.
Anyone looked at GLC or have thoughts ?
Had looked a BMW X3 but this looked / drove better in my view

I don't know much about the GLC, but my e class estate is about the only previous car off mine that I miss, it was a lovely car.

Not my kind of car, far too many Mercedes over here!

After 2 Evoques, it's certainly on my list for possible next car......

After living in Germany for 12 years, I'd rather push my Evoque than drive a Taxi. No offence but Mercedes are two a penny and not very stylish. GLC looks in my opinion like any other Small SUV.

Only 12 years... I've lived there for 30 odd... Lol

Had extended test drive today in GLC - 65 miles

Very steady in high winds on motorway , engine and Auto box smoother than Evoque and ride better on all three settings.Handling sharper than mine - more car like
Minus points - not as high up as I would have liked , Don't like the iPad - stuck on dash and the 'bling'
Not decided yet.
Went to see Volvo XC60 - liked outside but inside very 'dated' small Nav screen and concerns about future value based on the huge discounts advertised on the car in showroom

Don't know what to get- looking for High Driving position- Disc Sport similar to Merc but leather / finish better in Merc than Disc Sport- don't need seven seats so why 'pay' for them- need ideal 40 mpg

Budget is @ £40K would consider Demo
What are others looking at as future Replacement ?

I got the BMW X4 35i. Like the Evoque it has unique styling and has a very clean interior. The 35i is an amazing engine, drives beautifully with amazing power and I get better fuel efficiency than I got in the Evoque. Worth considering in my opinion...

I've had a brief test in an X4- again only 'concern' was driving height- I do prefer it over X3
How do you find it from the 'command' position compared to Evoque please?
The that i could afford would be 2 .00 D M sport- a number around pre reg which saves @ 4k- only problem they all seem to be Black or Red !!!

It sits a little lower than the Evoque but the seats are very adjustable an I probably prefer it now. X4 looks great in black!
