One Week with the GLB200d 4MATIC: First Impressions After 1,000 km

GLB200d 4MATIC While there are many reviews of the GLB250, the front-wheel-drive GLB200d without 4MATIC, and the GLB35 on YouTube, magazines, and web media, detailed reviews of the most popular and best-selling 4MATIC GLB200d are quite rare. This time, for those considering purchasing the GLB200d 4MATIC, I’d like to share my review after about one week of ownership and roughly 1,000 km of driving. The 202301 Model GLB200d 4MATIC The one that came to our...

Test Drive Review of the Mercedes-Benz GLS580|How Does the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL Perform?

GLS580 4MATIC My younger brother, who occasionally appears on this blog, bought a car as usual. This time, it’s the Mercedes-Benz GLS580 4MATIC Sport Chauffeur Package. As of the time of writing this blog, the GLS580 has already been removed from the Japanese lineup, and currently, the only new models available are the GLS400D and the AMG GLS63. Previously, I considered purchasing the GLS400d and even test drove it. At that time, I was somewhat...

Test Drive of Mercedes-Benz GLB200d 4MATIC|Differences from GLA and More (Part 1)

GLB200d 4MATIC The other day, a friend of mine purchased a GLB200d 4MATIC, so I had the chance to test drive it. Actually, I had previously test driven my younger brother’s GLA200d 4MATIC. At that time, I was impressed by the engine and body’s rigidity, and the stability at high speeds was amazing. The handling was very sporty, but at town speeds, I felt the rear suspension was a bit bouncy over uneven roads and...

Test Drive of the Mercedes-Benz E200 Coupe: Differences from the S Coupe and BMW Coupes

[TOC] Luxury Coupe When I think of the E-Class coupe, I recall the 1993 movie “The Firm” where Tom Cruise’s character drove a 300CE. Although it was a cabriolet, it was a luxury coupe from Mercedes’ mid-size class (W124 generation) at the time, and I remember having a strong admiration for it during my student days. Since then, I have driven Honda’s Legend Coupe (KA8), and more recently, the R129 SL500 and AMG S63. I...

Parents Are Porsche and Mercedes 500E Are you familiar with the Mercedes W124 E-Class model called the 500E (later known as the E500)? This W124 E-Class, the ancestor of today’s E-Class, originally came in versions like the 230E and 300E, but the 500E was created specifically to house the V8 engine from the then top-tier Mercedes sports car, the SL500. The development of the 500E was handled by Porsche’s Weissach engineering center, and part of...

New GLS400d|How Does It Feel Compared to Owning an S-Class?

The other day, I wrote my impressions after test-driving the Mercedes-Benz GLS, and this time, I’d like to share my husband’s thoughts. Mercedes-Benz GLS Test Drive Recently, my wife and I went to test drive the GLS, and I want to share my impressions from that experience. First, a bit about my Mercedes history: it started with the R171 SLK350, then the R129 SL500, and later the C217 AMG S63 Coupe. My overall impression of...

Test Drive of the New Mercedes-Benz GLS400d

Test Drive of the New Mercedes-Benz GLS Lately, our family has started to take an interest in SUVs, and recently, my husband and I had the chance to test drive one of the SUVs we were curious about: the Mercedes-Benz GLS. Our family has always been loyal to Porsche, but I’ve recently come to think that maybe an SUV doesn’t need to be so sporty. Since we already have sporty cars like the GT3, an...

Wanting to Test Drive Beyond Just Porsche The other day, I had the chance to drive an Abarth and a McLaren on the Royu Driveway, and I truly felt that there are many amazing cars out there beyond just Porsche. Since then, I’ve become even more eager to try driving cars from various manufacturers. By test driving different cars, I think I’ll be able to evaluate them more objectively. And since I’m a woman, it...
