Glk is too expensive for what it is...
E350 seems like a better choice
Also I didn’t really have throttle issues with the sti. It seemed ok to me, granted I only drove 2 + 1 wrx

Used GLK350? The boxy one? Anyone have actual experience with one?

Used GLK like the plebe I really am.
Throttle is insane. I coast over everything because I cannot keep my foot in one position nearly accurately enough to prevent bucking.

I’m sure I’m sitting in the car[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 10:20 pmI think part of your issue is le long legs.
If bumps are causing you to be an unsmooth operator, then you're likely sitting too close to le pedals.
Really tho I probably am.

Driven a last gen fozz, current 4R, JGC, old rav, etc. nothing stirs the for me. I think I liked the Fozzie and Rav the most.[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 10:21 pmGo drive stuff. Fozzie, JGC, 4Runner, Rav4, Outback.
I've got a 3.6R Outback, Rav4 Adventure, and the Trailcock at your disposal, sir.

I know you’re taking used, anything boxy is like stupid money used. The sedan that the glk is based on is literally 1/2 the price

While we fully expect the final specs could change between now and the car’s actual debut, and that the information you’re about to see could be a placeholder of some sort, here’s what we know: the Mach E comes in five trims, starting as low as the $43,895 Select model. It goes from there to the Premium at $50,600, onto the California Route 1 at $52,400, the limited First Edition at $59,900, and finally capping off with the top GT model at $60,500.
All prices are before the $7,500 federal EV tax credit.
The Mach-E comes in rear- or all-wheel drive. Ford says the extended range RWD version of the Mach-E will be capable of 300 miles of range, while the GT model with select options will be able to hit a mid-three-second 0-60 mph sprint. Not bad at all.
Range is estimated at 270 miles for the First Edition, about 230 for the GT and Select, and then 300 for the others. Also not bad. The upper-trim cars seem to be AWD only.
Interestingly, the site says that the car will be able to gain 47 miles of range in just 10 minutes of charge. That’s still not quite as convenient as a gasoline fill up, but considering most EV charging is done at home overnight, it’s a nice time for a top-up to get you the final few miles home if you need it.

I wonder if I can put a hitch on it?

It's cool that it is fully electric, but it looks awful. Also, what is with this trend of not integrating screens into dashboards that manufacturers have adopted?

I don't love it. But I also don't hate it. We need more performance based EVs.
