  Well worth the wait...! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By Very Happy - April 17 - 2:00 am

  Well worth the wait..!! Nothing quite like it. It is a truck, and dont forget that! It wasnt just designed, and made retro. It is work of art, in progress, and it only gets better with age. I use it as a daily driver and cant say enough. It is truly what I expected and more. Waited 11 months and the "G" has not disappointed, both mechanically or in terms of drivability. If you are really honest with yourself as to what you are buying you will not be disappointed. Happy motoring..!!/4x4ing.

  Heavy Duty Fagility - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By Devon - March 5 - 2:00 am

  The G500 is a great eye catcher and off- road performer. The materials and and weight are reminiscent of the Mercedes of yesteryear. When you close the door... it CLOSES. All the major problems come from the advanced electronic systems. Seems as though Mercedes rushed it into production before bringing it to the States. Itll be better in 2003 or 2004, hopefully.

  Rolls Royce of 4x4s - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By Brabus - January 8 - 11:16 am

  It is the best truck on the road. It simply looks like nothing else, and drives like caviar on butter. I had to limo-tint my windows as this car definitely gets a lot of attention. Every time I drive someone in the G500 they WOW all the time. When I go to clubs or restaurants, valet parking would always put it up front for grabbing attention. This is a top of the line truck.

  Its a truck - not a luxury SUV - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By j.edwards - June 26 - 10:00 am

  I bought this vehicle in spite of your review. I wanted a stiff rding, ruggedly built, durable vehicle with a military heritage. You may nit-pick, but its still an S-class interior. It cant go out of style because it never was in style. It will out climb an H-1 and do 130 on the road. Try that with any other SUV on the market. Yeah, youll be laughing in years to come, but it will be at yourselves for identifying this thing as a luxury SUV.

  I love my car! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By ILOVEMYG - February 15 - 2:16 am

  The G-Wagen is so eyecatching on the exterior and it is the kind of car that you feel so good to be in. Wherever you go a lot of attention is on you. Its fast for an SUV and the brakes are great because you can stop at the last minute.

  OH MY HECK!!!!! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By spin man - September 11 - 12:20 pm

  This is no SUV for the typical affluent housewife. It is an awesome military born rugged SUV turned luxury- --well, as much as possible. It takes a heavy hand and a heavy foot, but that is not a bad thing. It is more of a mans car, no doubt. I love it because it is never going to lose the visual appeal it possesses. It is strong, demanding, and has incredible presence. That is what makes the G500 stand all alone. Nothing comes close.

  By Proud G Owner - July 11 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned several Mercedes Benz but by far this is the Best one yet.We needed a truck for our family the ML is to small for a family truck so when I saw a G500 up close I bought it.

  Not what I expected. - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By djt - May 6 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned 2 Lexus LX 470s, upon purchasing the G 500 I realized just how much Id given up. The interior is much narrower than the LX, the ride is much firmer and the cabin is much darker (due to the lack of a glass sunroof). All of this is immediatly apparent when you first test drive the G, but its initial seductiveness makes you put all of this aside. Unfortunatly the sexiness wears off very quickly and all your left with are the shortcomings. As soon as DMV processes my title, Ill probably sell the G and look at either the 2003 Range Rover or another LX 470.

  Lets Be Objective - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  By stasik7 - April 21 - 7:10 pm

  I knew what I was buying before I bought it. This vehicle does get terrible gas mileage, compared to a Civic, but you should expect it when you are buying an almost 3 ton truck that costs $80,000. It is stiff, but you have to consider what this truck was originally desinged for. I had to take it to the dealer to have a few minor things fixed, but what vehicle does not have problems every now and then. The verdict is this: If you want a vehicle that will never go out of style, that will take you virtually anywhere, a vehicle that has plenty of power and eye appeal, then you should buy one! If you are thinking why would I need a truck to be all that..I dont know...WHY NOT!!!
