Handling:

Wow. I felt in control the entire time I was behind the wheel of the GLC 300. Honestly, I drove this vehicle extremely aggressively and not once did I feel like it was going to slip. In fact, I felt like I could push it even further. It was amazing. And one of most fun driving experiences I've had in a while.

Acceleration:

Again, wow. When you hit the accelerator the engine roars and you blast forward. It's extremely satisfying. From a dead stop you will be beating almost every other car on the road. The GLC 300 is fast. Very fast.

Cabin Noise:

Outstanding. The cabin is very quiet, even at highway speeds of 70+ mph. Not once did I feel the need to increase the volume on the podcast I was listing to.

Cargo Room:

Great. There's a plenty of space in the back of the vehicle to haul around a stroller, golf clubs, groceries, etc. I don't think have any issues with normal daily use.

The rear seats also fold down. There's electronic controls in the back, so you can collapse the seats in a matter of seconds. And then you'll be able to take advance of even more space in the back. Not quite enough for a large mattress, but enough to haul some small furniture.
