  • Best car on the road - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    Every since the late 80s when I first saw the car at a friends house (european version) I new this is a car I had to have. not wanting to pay the $130,000 that it cost then I waited till MB put it out themselves and have not been disapointed. No other car can hold a candle to the styling and off road performance of this monster. They havent had to change it since the 70s (something must be right)

  • G-Wagon - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    The G-Wagon is a superb all around vehicle. It is comfortable on the highway yet tough and powerful off road.It is an absolute joy to drive. The biggest drawback is fighting my wife over who gets to drive it (she has an Escalade).

  • Beautiful SUV - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

    Beautiful vehicle from everywhere

  • Ignore Bad Reivews - They dont own this - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    This is one of the greatest cars ever. Its so fun to drive, both because its a great machine and because it turns heads. I have a 1993 version that I bought in Europe as well as a 2002. The 93 is as good as the day I bought it. Im sure Ill drive them both forever.

  • A Tank - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

    No Question, this vehicle is not for everybody. Its rough, strong, and at the same time a beautiful piece of art. Even though MPG is very low that doesnt keep me from driving it daily.

  • THE RIGHT STUFF - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    This is the best SUV I have ever bee in

  • What A Mess - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    This car rocks....when it works. My G wagon was in the shop 32 days in 8 months for a never ending run of problems which the dealer could not fix so I switched dealers...three times with the same results. Drive out of the shop and some light or warning would go off before I got home. The only possible way you drive this car is if you have another one when this one is in the shop.

  • THIS IS A TRUCK - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    You cant criticize a good off road vehicle for being a good off road vehicle. If you bought it just for the looks or for the trendiness you will probably will get tired of it. But if you appreciate the confidence of being able to face whatever the weather report throws at you (even if you never ever go off road), you will not get rid of this warranty on life. Plenty of power. Just a bit rough on the potholes (you are not supposed to drive 80 mph off road)...

  • Amazing - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    Ive owned my 2002 for 7 years. Its been amazing. Its a truck. Drives like a truck. It is not an Escalade or some floaty phony SUV. Thats why i love it. After a massive blizzard a few years ago (nearly 5ft of snow), my father was stuck on the side of road about 45 miles from my home. Trapped in his car with no way of getting assistance (the cops and fire couldnt respond) I drove out to get him. I made fresh tracks on Interstate 95 and numerous side roads the whole way. Never even had to lock the diffs. The truck performed amazingly. It was unreal. 100+ miles in 3-5ft of snow the whole way and the thing didnt bat an eye. Also didnt even have to shovel myself out.

  • Not All That - 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    I admit, I had to order one and be one of the first. Yes I made a mistake and will be selling or trading it in. While its a respectable off road vehicle and can run circles around anything except a Hummer (either one) but its just too "goofy" to be seen in every day. Face it, call it retro, art, or just plain ugly its not a good looking vehicle. Interior quality is Mercedes all the way. Not sure who this truck is targeted toward, but its not me.
