08 GL320 Mercedes BENZ by GL from Phoenix on 10/30/2009. Trim: 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI, Owned less than 1 year.

Pros: Everything except the vanity mirror design and ipod interface

Cons: ipod interface and vanity mirrori

Overall review: I just purchased a used 08 GL320 with 28K miles on it. It is awesome!! impressive performance and I got 23MPG driving from Dallas to Phoenix!!!!! the ipod hook up could be better and I do not like the vanity mirror design that MB uses as the light is already not working properly,, everything else is supperb, smoothe ride, strong engine, quite, etc...... I would highly recommend buying one used as they depreciate poorly as mine was about 80K new and I got it for 53K with 28K miles.... I would say that you should make sure that it is loaded with all options, this is truly what makes this car special. Hope this helps!!
