Overview & Reviews
Entering its 29th year of production, the boxiest Mercedes-Benz returns for 2008 with minimal changes. Both G-Class models gain a rearview camera, TeleAid emergency communication system and a hands-free phone interface.
- Go-anywhere off-road capability, potent V8 power plants, surprisingly quiet on the highway.
- Heavy steering and accelerator pedal efforts, guzzles gasoline, not much cargo room, frustrating old-school COMAND electronics interface.

A Beautiful Tank on the outside, Harsh on the inside - 2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
By danielk1974 - February 26 - 8:53 pmMy wife got this car as her ultimate SUV dream vehicle. She had wanted one for 15 years. We got a good deal and she traded in her Lexus LX 570. We went from a peaceful cocoon of luxury to a rough and randy tank. She absolutely loves it. There is truly nothing else like it on the road. However, it is not very comfortable to drive. Steering is heavy. Acceleration is slow. The engine is loud. The seats are not comfortable. And yet everytime she looks at it, she loves it a little more. I dont like driving it at all, but thats why she tells me its her car, not mine.

Overrated car - 2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
By johnny - October 25 - 1:43 pmIts a fun car, I would not think of buying another though. I truly think its overrated. For an SUV its too fancy, but it has great on road handling.
