If you are putting all that wood in the back it would get pretty scuffed up and dirty in no time

Really don't like all the black plastic round the wheel arches, makes it look cheap IMO

I know what you mean. I would be more likely to look at All-roads if I were in the market - they also have the black plastic arches, so black paint makes them 'disappear' a bit more.

It was the reason my Father bought his BMW X1 in M Sport Spec as it is all colour coded.

A friend of mine has an Allroad and it is all colour coded

Whats Brown??
The car. It's that weird red that looks brown in most lights (to my eyes)
Reminds me of Waynetta Slob when bought a "brahn" car for her birthday.

It's Hyacinth Red, just bad photos, gorgeous colour IMO

Sorry - I meant 'All Terrain', obvs. Most of them that I have seen have been white or black and the arches on both are dark grey plastic. I will keep an eye out for ones with colour coded arches.

My mates is an Audi Allroad, colour coding was an option. Only ever seen one All Terrain and it was black. I do like them though

We had an AUDI for over 10 years, but it was an A2! I might be tempted to look at A6 Allroads. But to be honest a W213 would be more my thing...

2005 C270CDi Avantgarde Estate. Bought 2005, sold 2022.
It's similar to my old C Class, which is Titanite Red with grey interior. And when I say 'grey interior' absolutely everything is grey!

I think cars that have light interiors, but still with loads of black stuff, look quite weird - neighbour had one (Mazda, I think) that was completely black, but with cream seats - looked like someone had put the wrong seats in!

Car featured looks great - pretty full spec, odd there's no picture of the panormic roof. V6 would be nice too - love the 5cyl in my car.

Do GLC's still have the crabbing issue?

Not all of them have the issue for some reason and you could get the knuckles swapped under warranty, they seemed to have cured the issue with the facelift model, it’s also one to check for with all 4 matic models throughout
