  • Mercedes Benz G Wagon - 2003 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

    Great vehicle, after the dealer removes all of the door rattles. For a hand made vehicle, Mercedes Benz needs to put effort in delivery of a rattle free vehicle, including wind noise. The dealership took care of all issues. Hopefully Mercedes Benz will take note of the money they are paying dealers to take care of factory issues. The more miles it has the better it drives, i.e., loosens up.

  • My God Man! It couldnt get better! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    I just got my G55 AMG the other day and i knew this one was for me. My old Laforza that i was imported just didnt cut it. I think this has to be the best SUV ever!. The sound of the engine dunring acceleration is a classy roar and the transmission shifts great. Being the 6 foot 3 inch foot docter i am, i have great all around visiblity. It would be nice to be a little farther away from the steering wheel but i live. If ur sigle or even if you have a family, this is a great car!

    Former Rover owner-love the dependability. Have always owned MPPV, this has great performance. I have not experienced any excessive wind noise or other negative points shared by editors or reviewers. Better than the Escalade and the new Porshe toureag/cayen.

    Fun to drive but no for a long time or everyday. But when you do drive it, one of the best. Make sure its not your everyday around town car. If you want that, but a car.

  • I love this vehicle! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

    Compared to my 2001 Range Rover 4.6 HSE....wait, there it no comparison! My G500 provides a far superior ride. So far, problem free!

  • G500 Lemon - 2003 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    Mechanical and electrial defects have kept the vehicle in the service department over 30 days in the first 3 months of ownership. The noise that developed recently, from somewhere in the dash, which started after replacing the starter switch, is still present after 2 1/2 weeks in the shop. MB decided that it is a design problem that I have to live with.

  • Unsafe at any speed - 2003 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    By -

    I had a problem with the so called safety features from day one- the ESP would engage going around any corner and the car would swerve into the oncoming lane. It took 4 trips in 4 months to get someone to actually drive the car and discover that there indeed was a defect in the system. By that time I wanted nothing to do with this unsafe vehicle.

  • Awesome - 2003 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

    5 Months, and not a single problem! The only problem is all the stares I get driving my G-mobile down the strip! Quality is immaculate, and the rarity superb. I love this car!

    Best Suv I have ever bought. I have never had anything but a Benz and will never change. The G500 is brand new and is the best Suv I have ever owned. For great info go to mbusa.com
