MB GLC rather than F-Pace

[eastwinger]

Hi Everyone,

I've got here in a strange way. For many months we had an F-Pace 2.0d Portfolio on order but never felt that it was right the family. It's a good looking car and drives well, but it's very big and by the sounds of it having a lot of technical teething problems. Although I like to buy British when I can, I don't have time to beta test it for Jaguar at my expense, so I cancelled the order a week ago.

We are lucky to live in the Lincolnshire countryside, but the winter roads can be very slippy. We're looking for a comfortable 4x4 SUV and a touch of class, not a sports car with F1 like handling (we have another car for that).

We considered the usual suspects and although the servicing MB costs are higher on the GLC, the 220d Sports ticked more boxes. So we placed the order yesterday and have a late November delivery date.

I'm hoping to get some good tips for all of you

I think this is a sensible choice. It is the car that MB should have brought to the UK years ago and without which they will have lost many sales to competitiors in this segment of the market.

It emulates the GLK which was not available in right hand drive as it was said that the 4matic system could not be adapted to RHD. Even casual perusal on the roads of mainland Europe or North America will show just how popular the GLK is, however.

Nice package, good accommodation and well proven ingredients. Should be a super car.

Thanks Alex. I can't find too many people who don't like it - unless they are boy /girl racers

It seems to be a good allrounder and although it's not cheap compared to the others in the class, it holds up well on price too.

The F Pace is a great looking car with a good pedigree. However I also would rather wait and see how it settles in and go for a GLC.
