Interior not bad, but not merc good (frankly the new A class style interior is not only class leading but its better then GLC/GLE). More space but it's a bigger car. The GLB amazingly roomy inside given how average sized it is on the outside. GLB35 different league. 👍 ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's already a conclusion reached many pages ago: (i) My money, so my daiji; (ii) My feelings when I look at the car, and sit in the car, so my daiji; (iii) My preference of (comfort/ergonomics/tech) over speed, so my daiji. In conclusion, don't care what others think. Think with your heart (and wallet) and go for whatever makes you happy. Very true. You have arrived once you don't bother with what others think. They are not important in your life. If still worried about what other think of you because of the car(s) you drive, then good luck! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic January 16, 2021 Share January 16, 2021 (edited) Just drove past a white GLB200 first impression - lower quality not usual Mercy standard so i guess they succeeded GLC250 already so bread and butter but GLB200 takes the cake maybe they trying to see how low a category they can go.

Univ3r5e 1st Gear January 16, 2021 Share January 16, 2021 ^There’s always the A/GLA/CLAs if you want to compare down though. I don’t think the GLB is bad - the interior is class leading, even better than the facelifted GLC, just that how the car looks from the back takes some getting used to. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLB looks quite good both interior and exterior. Quality also better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enjoy it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really considered the X3 for that 195k but we didn't want such a big car, and the X1 was looking a little dated. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khee76 1st Gear January 17, 2021 Share January 17, 2021 Test drove GLB180 today.. Surprisingly 130hp did quite a good job. Steering is quite light. Not sure if it is the setting. As for the aircon, my 2 gals age 6 and 7, didn't complain once the car started. They complain hot when they enter but feedback it was OK after we start the car. We set the aircon to auto 20 degrees. Cannot feel that it is 9.9 sec 0-100 type of car. Maybe is the DCT. Drive feel very similar to my current jetta. Maybe Jetta also abt the same HP. Test drove c class before GLB180, C Class pick up is more laggy. SE said no more auto park feature for new batches of merc car. He said EU cannot certified it. I guess this is bulls**t. Anyway, the deal is not sweet enough for me to put my money. I guess they r not hungry. I will just wait after CNY. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt thought much into it when I chose to go with black 😩 I’m self washing with a jet washer once a week, so I’m just curious how long the PPS could last. My car is also parked outdoors most of the time hence I was looking into ceramic coating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new S Class even has next gen autopark features. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator January 17, 2021 Share January 17, 2021 On 1/16/2021 at 9:22 PM, Spring said: GLB180 with 130hp is in Cat A COE? Yes, the 129hp (96KW) GLB180 falls under Cat A COE. As I have shared previously, GLB180 will help C&C in 2 way, by lowering the bar for potential buyers to get into the 3 point star family, or selling its "higher" grade GLB200 and GLB250 at a premium (if buyer opt to upgrade to these variants). The price of GLB250 is too close to GLB35 AMG. If I have a budget of $220K, I will go for the latter without any hesitation. On the other hand, if I don't need a 5+2 seater, the GLC200 (C&C unit) or GLC300 (PI unit) would be a better buy, and not forgetting there are also several choice in this price bracket, including but not limited to Audi Q5, BMW X3, LR Discovery Sport, Lexus NX300, Volvo XC60, etc. ↡ Advertisement 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
