We just purchased the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB250 for our test program, and discuss its driving characteristics, controls, and where this compact SUV fits into the Mercedes lineup. We also dip into our mail bag and answer questions about replacing run-flats with regular tires, recommend\\xa0a compact luxury sport sedan for city driving in Canada, and suggest a CUV (crossover utility vehicle) that is capable\\xa0of fitting 3 child\\xa0seats in the second row.
