Like many German cars, which has its peculiarities. Navigation is difficult to adjust, but this is not the most interesting of this car at about 10,000 feet, sailing off! Warning appears and becomes unusable.

So your saying MB’s image is fat, old, lazy CEOs who need a super confortable car to take them back and forth from work since they cant be seen using public transportation

The main reason to choose the merc is so that you are not seen a a twat who drives a BMW. Mercedes don’t want the BM’s image of estate agents, drug dealers and golfers.

Clearly Heime bought the MB because it fits his ego more than anything else.

No Heime I have not noticed what other Bimmer owners look like, because unlike you I’m very content driving the ultimate drive machine!

I drove the GLK, Q5,Tiguan, RDX and RS350 yesterday. I liked the GLK the best. It’s a Mercedes Benz and it’s well thought out. It’s more luxurious and doesn’t have that rough sporty feel of the q5, plus it’s $5k-$10k cheaper. The MPG isn’t there and the trunk space is smallish but I loved the interior and exterior styling, the driving and overall feel of the car. I’m not considering the x3 due to it’s dated styling and that it’s a BMW. Really, have you seen who drives BMWs?

The GLK is newer and better in every way then the X3. The X3 looks too 20th century. The new one will come out next year and then we can compare. 2011 BMW X3 will over-take the GLK and Q5.

We traded our ’07 X3 on a ’10 GLK. Our lease was up and looked at the LR2, XC60 and GLK. First of all the X3 still has the best drivetrain, driving dynamics and great space efficiency. We choose (wife) the GLK based on the quietness and ride. While the build qaulity is impecable (as is the X3) with a very nice door “thunk” and is good value, it is not as roomy in the rear as the X3. The GLK is not special when going WOT as the 3.5l 7-speed trans shine better at moderate paces. The X3 also give superior fuel econmy 22 v. 18 all around. Mercedes builds a better luxury vehicle, but BMW is still the engineer’s, and enthusiast’s vehicle of choice – among these 2.

Just signed for a GLK after testing the q5 and x3 as well. There’s no doubt that the q5 had the sportiest handling, impressive for an SUV, with nice interior but the options come in so many whacky and overpriced packages that to get an equivalent vehicle as the GLK we were paying $5,000 more. If this were not the case it would have been a harder decision… the q5 is very nice.

The GLK has uniqueness in the class in terms of its look (but which people will either love or hate), the most luxurious interior and when pushed performed well on the road in terms of acceleration and handling. Again, almost too comfortable but when I started using the manual shifting was able to get more out of the car.

The X3 drives like a beamer which is the best part and that’s it. Interior still feels like it’s out of the 90′s. Price adds up too when you try to match up options and they just don’t offer everything the other two do (power tailgate, integrated screen for navigation etc.).

All in all the GLK brought the most to the table for the best price with the reputation of Mercedes SUVs behind it and that’s why we took it.

The Audi engine is not up to snuff. The gear box is really nice, but the car is noisy, and feels like a rolling couch. If you or paying damn near 50Kusd.

Bring on the n54 powered X3!

BMW better get a move on!!!!

Audi does’t have long term reliability. How many older model are out there? There is probably very little if any at all. It is an insult to compare Audi with veterans like Mercedes and BMW.

I was keen on getting a mercedes glk until i test drove it. Boy was i underwhelmed. The exterior styling looks pretty good with the 20,s but the interior looked cheap and felt like i was in a subaru. I am coming from a mercedes e55 and this was a huge step down in every way.

Then i test drove the audi Q5 with sline trim and 20 inch wheels. WOW , i was really impressed with it. The styling exterior looked great and interior blew the glk away. Also it felt much zippier and handled better than the glk, less harsh of a ride as well.

I took a bmw x3 out for a spin and it was god awful in almost everyway except the engine and good cargo room, The car reminded me of 1995!!

I have test driven maybe 8 small suvs in the segment and ultimatley the q5 easily won for me.
Now I have a audi 09 s-line sitting in front of my house and couldnt be happier with my desicion
