  • Worth every penny - 2004 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    Ive owned this SUV for about 2 months now and so far it has been excellent. The attention it draws and the rocks it climbs. Youd feel like a celebrity everywhere you go. It is almost like driving a Ferrari, every car on the road wants to pace with you just to check it out, then they catch up to your window just to see whos driving. Definately one of the vehicles I will keep in my collection. The people who trash on this vehicle are usually the ones that couldnt afford it in the first place.

    Great SUV. Just the right size for off-roading. Built like a tank or bank vault. Nothing else on the road like it. The locking diffs and compact size are what put this SUV above everything else not named Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Interior space is surprisingly good, but a bit narrow. This applies to the cargo area too. Interior design is very old, but the materials and fit & finish are first rate (and appropriate for price). Storage space is at a premium though. Stereo is pretty good when you play CDs, not so good with radio. Leather is top-notch...after 50k miles, no signs of creasing! (This is in contrast to my brothers LX470s leather.)

    This is the most coveted, most durable, best performing Mercedes-Benz Ive ever owned. Cant wait til the 2005 model appears. Built in Austria by superb craftsmen, this beats anything we Americans turn out in this class.

  • The old new G - 2004 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    This truck look awesome and when you behind the wheel you feel on top of the world.But it unfortunately from day one since we got our beloved G we had nothing but problems and frustrations. This car does have all problems in the world. Everything went wrong from door locks; number of computer modules, main computer, heated steering, ESP and airbags system to the most resent-paint was coming off on all door latches.Its been in the shop 4 months in the past 2 years and has about 38 pages of problem record. Dealer’s service department was trying to help but this truck was having more and more problems. Finaly Mercedes taking this car back as lemon after 2 years.I would not recomend it at all.

    I have had alot of exotic cars in the past but the G wagon gets more attention than all of them. Its a little rough on the ride and tough on gas but Im having alot of fun driving it.

  • Bad News - 2004 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

    This vehicle as a lot of power. The driver seat is comfortable the rest of the car is very uncortable. Very small if you have a family of two or more. Comes equiped with a horrible wind noise that sounds like you are driving a comfortable. Gussles gas 12 miles to the gal. Does not have hitch. Very disapointed for this type of money. Does not handle very well on turns.

    For 76,000 Dlls. you expect something not as delicate. the tire replacement cover is very delicate alone is worth about 1000 dlls. for that money, the car should take care of me, not the other way around.
