After watching Motorweek last night, old episodes on PVR. The GLK 250 is pretty appealing, not that far out of my reach, when I am working, especially a CPO model, and they usually have decent rates.. Rear seat room not as bad as I thought, comparable to other smaller CUVs, more room than in compacts (about 32 inches avg), and less than midsize avg 38 inches, it has 35.5 inches, same as Golf wagon, which is fine by me, and our kids...
I like how there are lots of packages to choose from, if you want just HID, then just pick it. I don't care, so I don't need it. Don't care about 20" AMG wheels, don't care about panoramic sunroof, or those other nannies, lane deparature, etc. So nothing really needed, nice to have would be sound pkg, and having to pay $800 for a colour other than black or white! How stupid. Also liked how you could pick several different interior colours, and trim, like aluminum or wood at no extra cost. So base model GLK 250 was around $45,350
