Boot 355 l What reviewers say Reviewers agree the GLS is hugely spacious and well equipped, with a smooth, punchy diesel and refined cruising manners. The common criticisms are its sheer size on UK roads and interior quality that disappoints in places; What Car? and Autocar found the ride poorly controlled for a luxury car, while Parkers thought it comfortable, and Parkers also found even the diesel thirsty.
