It all depends what you're looking for. The GLK is definitely bigger than the X1 and really competes with the X3. I work with someone who has a GLK and he let me drive it one night when we went to dinner. It's a fine automobile....luxurious, comfortable and more room than the X1. Personally, I like the look of it and was hoping to love it because I was considering it as a future vehicle. I have to say though....it just didn't drive nearly as well as my X1. The 7 speed auto was not as responsive as the 8 speed in the X1 and the handling was much more soft and sloppy. It may be similar in performance, on paper, but it sure didn't feel like it. I was disappointed because I was really hoping i'd like it. Drive an X1, X3 and GLK back to back and then make your decision.
