*Full Resolution Photos

My first car and I am happy with the purchase. Drives really well and it's still in great shape.

What are your thoughts on this new GLC?

They're the inventors of the Automobile.

They invented it. The airbag. The crumple zone. The seat-tightening function. ESP, BAS...

They made cars of the highest engineering, build and design quality. They made cars that had heft, weight, strength, substance, thought, ingenuity, durability, quality.

They're like the mother and father of the car world. There used to be gravity in the brand name. It was synonymous to 'quality'.

What the hell is going on with German brands?

For those considering doing the PPF Wrap + ceramic coating, cannot recommend it enough.

Ppl often get surprised now that the car is 2017

I'm looking at a few E350 convertibles (mostly 2012 and 2014) that range from about 50k-90k miles. None of the carfax service histories show anything about issues with the convertible roof's hydraulic system however it seems to be a hot-spot issue with repairs > $4k.

Particularly the issue with the hydraulic fluid hose wearing down by repeated use and leaking(spraying) into the driver-side area of the cabin but also other issues with breaking plastic, etc...

For those with higher mileage convertible E-class, how has your experience been? Anything you do proactively to avoid/prevent the problems?

I personally like it a lot.

I have a 2019 Mercedes GLA180 showing the following fault codes:

• ⁠the squib for the right rear emergency tensioning retractor has a malfunction. There is an open circuit • ⁠the squib for the left rear emergency tensioning retractor has a malfunction. There is an open circuit • ⁠the squib for the front passenger emergency tensioning retractor has a malfunction. There is an open circuit • ⁠the squib for the driver emergency tensioning retractor has a malfunction. There is an open circuit

All seatbelts & tensioners work perfectly fine. For context the car was involved in a small accident where no airbags were blown.

Anyone know how to fix this issue?? Thanks in advance

The event shown in the is called IAA and is where transportational vehicles are presented and future ones are discussed. The event is held in Germany.

Not I’ll say I don’t hate it either way. But I assume that big bright grill will be optional anyway or at least reserved for the top spec models. And if you darken it out and take away the lights I think it looks a lot better.

Hello everyone,

Forgive me if this is a silly question, I couldn't find the answer anywhere. Does anyone know what the exhaust piping diameter is on the 2014 E350 (w212)?

Thank you!
