2007 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class

Trim: GL320 CDI
by BFNfld on 10-31-2012
Road Trip Monster
I bought this car used from a dealer. It was a bit more expensive than other SUVs. However, I really wanted a used diesel, and when I bought 2 years ago there were few choices for used diesel SUVs.
The car is a great highway hauler. I get almost 1000km on a tank of diesel on the highway. And currently, Diesel is cheaper than premium gas! The ride is great, and the cargo space is awesome.
It's a bit of a brute as a daily driver- big and cumbersome. The engine is capable enough, but it's not exactly a sporty ride around town.
It also has a bigger 3rd row than most other SUVs (although, it's not huge, so I cant imagine the leg room in other models!).
I bought this as an excuse NOT to buy a minivan. The one clear advantage of a van would be the ability to access the 3rd row while not having to move car seats in the second row. Currently, if I need to put people in the 3rd row, I need to remove one of our carseats and rearrange things. Luckily, this doesn't occur too often. (And thank god my daughter will soon be promoted to a booster seat!)
Overall, a great family hauler, but it leaves me itching for a sportier coupe whenever I'm in the car alone.

2009 Audi A4

by BFNfld on 10-31-2012
Almost perfect
Overall, an excellent experience. The fit and finish are great, and the 2.0T engine is peppy.
I can only think of a couple of problems. The rear seat is a little short on legroom for 6ft tall people. And we have had 2 glitches- we had an issue with the sunroof refusing to close, but the dealer was able to fix it. And now we have an issue where sometimes the ignition key gets stuck (last time for 2 days!). However, for both of these issues the dealer has provided great service.
