Looking for your reco or opinion - trying to decide between new Mercedes glc 300 (black with beige interior) or cpo 2024 Q5 PHEV with 5k miles (grey w/ black optics, red brake calipers). I have a friends and family discount option with Mercedes that will make the net-out-of-showroom cost pretty similar. Which one would you choose and why?

If PHEV is important to you then Q5, if you don’t mind having a pre-new generation model. Otherwise, GLC 300. GLC 350e would be ideal. Having test driven the competition, GLC has best comfort and interior, X3 has best powertrain and driving dynamics, and Q5 is good at everything but great at nothing, in my opinion.

The 350e reviews (Car and Driver plus customer reviews drom Edmunds) are not positive about the combined working of the two engines or the MPGe. However, the 300 is indeed a comfortable ride if the driver stays soft on the pedal.
Q5e has a nice balance of comfort and sporty handling in bendy roads that I liked. Doesn't match the interior quality of the MB though.

I drive a 2017 GLC 300 and love it. My family keeps telling me I need to trade it in but I haven’t found anything I like nearly as much (even the current model GLC 300, though it comes close). Still drives well, reliable, low maintenance.

We chose the GLC too because wife thought it was the most comfortable and she likes the MBUX. She prefers to cruise around and not drive aggressively so the I-4 made no difference to her. It’s still sufficiently peppy. It’s all preference at the end of the day.

Do they have similar options?

Almost. For things I care for.

Will be in the market for a car in a month or so - narrowed down to Mazda CX 50 Turbo but the BMW X3 is only around $5k more compared to the Mazda Turbo trim I liked. Torn between these 2, would really appreciate any advice/insight in making this decision in regards to longterm ownership, rate of depreciation and maintenance.

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
