Mercedes Benz (X253) GLC 300 4Matic - A Modern Journey

 While this blog is primarily focused on classic Mercedes W123 and 107 models, I will be adding to this blog a late model Mercedes, specifically a 2018 X253 Mercedes GLC 300 Coupé, 4MATIC with the AMG package.  The focus of this vehicle will be all about maintenance, keeping it detailed along with what products to use on what parts, overall durability and options that are worth the extra money.

So far, this Mercedes has been very good and the warranty items have been handled with exceptional professionalism by the dealer. There is one item I still have not dealt with which will be covered for as long as it takes to see it resolved. The item in question is a decorative metal trim on the gear selector lever which is loose and buzzes when traveling on rougher surfaced roads. Ironically I was just in a 2021 GLC 300 SUV service loaner that had the same trim that was buzzing on the way home!

All that aside, we will dig into this very fun to drive coupé from front to back coming up. Yes, more on the retro stuff as well. 

Until next time...
