Kids grow. In 2-3 years they will be too big for the third row. Maybe you will have ditched the GLB by that time.

Cylinder head issues are quite the thing with this car. Failed cylinder heads replaced under warranty are well-documented on mbworld, read more about it. Caveat emptor.

The interior is cheap. Do not expect what's left of the aura of MB to have influenced the interior. Materials, controls, space and visuals are cheap.

Summary: MB econobox, nice looking on the outside, cheap on the inside, with an unreliable engine. Do not buy/lease.
I'm actually a bigger fan of the X1 styling.

I see your point about the kids outgrowing the third-row seats fairly quickly. As soon as you are over 5' tall I think you'd want out.

Yeah, the interior is cheap. But it is cheap in a way that you won't mind your early elementary school kids mucking up. :-)
