Owner
Remember the GLC? Well now they have produced a Great Little Crossover!

Pros:
Roomy, Comfortable, Power and Handling are excellent. Tires and front suspension leave a little to be desired. It is great little people mover. I drive all Highway trips and am averaging 30 miles per gallon. Excellent for a vehicle this size. And very comfortable now that I replaced the factory tires.
Cons:
I actually got 32,000 miles out of the factory set of tires.The last few months it roared so loud you could not hear the radio. Every tire bounced at highway speeds. Suspension was uncontrollable with those tires. I just purchased a set of Hancook tires and drivability is back. But hit the brakes even moderately at highway speeds and the front suspension bounces until the brakes settle it down again. I am thinking the struts are week on the front of the vehicle, or the brakes need bleeding again.
Overall review:
I would rate this vehicle a 95 out of 100. Mazda has made a fine little crossover.
