how long you are driving bro? planning to buy, but I'm scared after seeing few reviews.

mee review pettandi bro

Approx 6 months nunchi driving. 3000 miles driven so far. Take my comments subjectively. 
Aesthetics, interior, technology, new center console - they are phenomenal. I test drove the older model too. I would not say the same about the before one. 
Pickup - Avg at best. I have an Infiniti EX35 which is a V6. So naaku pickup ade ishtam. But adi worst mileage anuko. 

My very (very) personal opinion - Buy it for the brand and comfort to an extent. Value for money, resale, etc kosam aithe marchipo.

If u r a driving enthusiast, beamer is no match to other brands in terms of drive performance especially cornering. Also, pickup is better in sport mode. If u r more into interiors, features etc, go with GLC.

Today, I took the GLC 300 for a test drive, and I found the driving experience to be lively and enjoyable. The interior of the vehicle is exceptionally attractive. Not a fan of the touch-capacitive controls, but I believe I could adapt to them. I've been researching reviews on Edmunds, and it seems that the 2023 edition of the GLC 300 has a number of reported issues. I am now thinking if I should instead opt for the X3. Initially, I had been leaning towards the CX5 Turbo Signature, but it's going to be close 46OTD. GCL 300 is going to be around 54K. I'm interested to hear some insights from your experiences to help me decide whether I should go for the GLC 300 or explore other options. 

Thanks.

P.S. The Rav4 Prime build and drive was not great. Venza was good, but again it going to be ~50K OTD! Not interested in full EVs. If I am going to spend 50K for a car, I am thinking to either go for GLC 300 or X3.

Chala kalam kritam I drove X5 and 535 Xi (i think so). Relatives and friends cars. 

X5 aithe chala ekkuva rojulu drove. X5 is a beast. 535 is a master at corners and hugging the road. You wont even feel you are taking a deep curve
