GLC 300 or X3

[swimsnoon]

Today, I took the GLC 300 for a test drive, and I found the driving experience to be lively and enjoyable. The interior of the vehicle is exceptionally attractive. Not a fan of the touch-capacitive controls, but I believe I could adapt to them. I've been researching reviews on Edmunds, and it seems that the 2023 edition of the GLC 300 has a number of reported issues. I am now thinking if I should instead opt for the X3. Initially, I had been leaning towards the CX5 Turbo Signature, but it's going to be close 46OTD. GCL 300 is going to be around 54K. I'm interested to hear some insights from your experiences to help me decide whether I should go for the GLC 300 or explore other options. 

Thanks.

P.S. The Rav4 Prime build and drive was not great. Venza was good, but again it going to be ~50K OTD! Not interested in full EVs. If I am going to spend 50K for a car, I am thinking to either go for GLC 300 or X3.

Stelvio is nothing but Hornet. Not worth it in my opinion.

I should've mentioned this - I am looking at 2024 GLC Exclusive trim with Panorama Sunroof. Not the 2023 edition. There is a huge difference in the interior between 2023 and 2024. 2024 comes with a large center screen, ambient lighting and touch capacitive buttons!
