I have 2023 GLE AMG 53. Out the door price was k101K. Below are some of the goods and bads since I own this car. The Goods: - The car is beautiful inside out. - Haven't had any engine or electronic issues (driven 4,500 miles) The Bads: - No sun glassed holder. For a $100k car, one would expect to have a sun glasses holder. Previous generations had. Even my other non luxury cars have it. - Rear seats are uncomfortable for the long ride. My kids complained that their back hurts after a 2-3 hours trip. They said our minivan and F-150 rear seats are more comfortable. - Storage space for accessories are very minimal. - Ride quality is so so - too firm even in comfort mode - Wireless charger is useless. iPhone size Plus won't fit. Even regular size fits but it's very difficult to take it in and out so I never really use it. I use charge cables instead. - Running boards are also useless. They are too small and you often afraid to slip off when you step on them. If you don't use them then they will be in your way and the side part of the board will touch and dirty your pants. - Autonomous features such as adaptive cruise and lane assist aren't that great. The car sways left and right too often and feels scary when they are in use. My Ford F-150 also has these features and it does not do that. The car holds steady on the lane - it does not sway left and right like the Benz does. If you asked me if have regret buying this car, I would say yes and I would not buy it again. For a $100k car, I would expect higher standard from Mercedes. This is my third Mercedes and I feel Mercedes has been cutting corners here and there, removed some of the of features that older cars had.

Bought what I thought was my dream car - and it's has spent more time in shop than on the road - super disappointed and looking to go to a different manufacturer. MB has been nothing but disappointed in both the vehicle and their customer service

Poor Build Quality

Bought a new 2023 AMG GLE 53 last month, driving is great, pleasant interior, sound system excellent....Unfortunately totally disagree with Edmend's review on build quality - lots of loose plastics outside (like plastic around wheel, AMG logo on front, rear window plastic molds,...) and many creaky interior components as well(door handles, wood trim,....). Build quality much worse than Audi, even $30k Kia Sportage is better than my $90k car.
After all the hyped positive reviews, disappointed

This is a review of the amg 53. The first disappointment was paying 10k over msrp when its still a buyers market. But with all the great reviews we decided to push through. I wont review all the positives because they've been done extensively by others. My 2 biggest disappointments, the exhaust has 2 modes, but both are quite loud. And this turbo v6 does not sound nice, so it isnt cool to be loud. 2nd, the back area lays flat, but at sn angle. I would accept that on a '90s explorer, but not a 2023 Mercedes costing 120k...

Performance is over the top! Great handling and smooth ride. It takes a bit of getting use to the auto-shot off but can disable with the touch of a button. Love the look and overall performance!
