You said the Mercedes GLK350 doesn't drive like an SUV -- well how does it drive?

Many manufacturers claim that their SUVs have "car-like handling." The Mercedes GLK doesn't have car-like handling -- it has car handling. As we pushed the GLK through turns way faster than the law might prefer, we often had to remind ourselves that technically we were driving an SUV. Body roll was minimal, and we'd have no problem characterizing the Mercedes GLK as fun to drive. Our one complaint was that steering felt a little too loose at highway speeds. With 268-horsepower and a seven-speed transmission, acceleration was excellent; Mercedes claims a 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds. For reference, a 2008 BMW 328i sedan makes the same dash in 6.4 seconds.
