Agree w everything but the G sitting in your garage looks way better than all that other stuff in your driveway. That will always be the case. The rest will always turn to junk. The G will keep chugging gas and hold its value.
Dude. I'm single with no kids and looking to buy one? You just sold me on it better than the sales guy I'm dealing with. Thanks for the video and i freaking love it.
It’s so bad that it’s so good, car guys will understand 😅 for the money you can definitely get something faster and way comfier but nothing comes close to the uniqueness of a G. And surprisingly quite ‘reliable’, not Japanese reliable but for a german car, one of the best reliability I’ve experienced
I know what you mean man. I'm a Toyota fan here and I have both an 14' FJ Cruiser and a 21 4Runner and one of the things I love about these two guys is the cup holder space. When we take off in the morning to shop we drag our Starbucks stainless steel cups with us which occupy the 2 cup holders by the gearshift levers. But we are on our way to Jack-in-the-Box for breakfast and when we get our order of 2 cokes we put our coffee cups in the door next to the bottle of water so our cokes can be up front and coffee cup available as we eat in our breakfast Jacks in the car. If you were counting that's 6 cup holder spaces. Yee Haw!
As a father of 4 under 10, it sounds like a used LX570 is the way to go. The G Wagon has always been my dream overland rig but it looks like ill be waiting until they are in college.
This is the rich guy's fun SUV, This is the fifth or sixth vehicle in the garage for the super-rich that they probably have Rolls-Royce to carry the family around and go to drive through for ice cream. The G63 is probably only for towing stuff, go off-road or just a weekend fun vehicle for the rich people
@@anthonylumbi1801 nuh 😂 they don’t last if you don’t take extra care especially rusting and paint issues 😂 I had one. Enjoyed for 2 years and sold. Never buying again. Only if new one and as a 6th or 7th car in garage.
It’s all about image. Nobody is off-roading these things, it’s soccer mom’s drive them around shopping in Beverly Hills and Greenwich. Can’t believe they’re willing to put up with all of the compromises to look “cool”.
I have been in the market for one of these for a while now, though, I have friends that own them and I cannot get over how much more practical and comfortable my full size Range Rover is... Still though, want a G... But this video definitley makes you think
I know why you hate it, but if you drive the newer G Wagon, you will change your mind. It drives soo much smoother and it feels like a modern car, like it should be
I really think every suv that has solid axcels drive pretty much same way ruff won't drive like a car won't I never own one thinking about getting on I use to own a 2002 range rover and discovery 2 solid with solid axcels I never complain or wine I just gas them up and drive drive it
Thank you for the content. I'm looking for a capable off roader and torn between old land cruiser or higher milage g wagen. I don't commute to work so gas milage isn't big concern. I am a little worried about all the computers and wiring in the Mercedes
Thanks for your honest review, it really helps my decision. I wonder, between this and a 200 series land cruiser, which is better and more reliable? Im thinking the LC but I could be wrong because like you said these were created to be military vehicles and go through wars
Land Cruiser 100%! I worked at a Toyota dealership and Land Cruisers are designed to last 25 years in a third world country without any issues or rust. That’s why you see Land Cruiser in Africa being used for safaris and not a Gwagon.
@@LextasyNation Gotchya, thank you so much for responding. I just hate that the 200 LC is so big, I like smaller vehicles. That's part of the reason why I like G-wagons, but I would rather be in something more reliable at the end of the day that can tow the large travel trailer I have.
@@LextasyNation I would love a review of a land cruiser if you have one or even just a video of your thoughts on it would be cool too. No pressure, just throwing that out there 🫡
every thing you complained about as far as exposed and easy to take apart is why we bought one. it sounded like most of your issues were due to having it as a daily. We bought ours cause we have multiple cars and this just filled a purpose. some points you made i totally agree, some are cause you have a family, some are cause your a large dude. but overall i did not go into this vehicle thinking it was a luxury vehicle, it's a purpose built truck with some leather.
Buys solid axle offroad focused truck, then complains its not practical to buy groceries. Get a Prius or an independent suspension crossover minivan and leave trucks for people that need trucks. Oh but it looks sick! Posers.. ruining offroad cars. Wranglers gone to shit, gwagons, land cruisers..
Seems like have to suffer daily just for holding the value? 😅 Might as well buy a more comfortable cheaper car & sleep sweetly every night with the rest of the money! 😂
My 2016 G63 was an absolute beast off road (by far the best off roading SUV I have ever owned and that includes the land rover) - that was one of the FEW benefits. Apart from that: The front space sucked, the cornering was abysmal, rear seats were like a prison cell. But what should we expect from a military truck? The other benefit: these guys are only second to tanks and hold their value EXTREMELY well. I was able to sell for 81K and upgrade to the 2020 and what do you know: With all the upgrades on tech, suspension and comfort, it is now the VERY BEST SUV I have ever owned (on or off road). Oh yeah: it'll get you the looks and more respect than any non-supercar on the road.
@@ikeben400”Uh work?” Such a helpful and positive response... I think what they actually wanted to know is a bit about your field of work or profession, which has enabled you to afford such a vehicle.
So I've owned one of these for just about 3 years now. We had Sahara and my wife wanted one of these without doing any research. We traded it in and she immediately regretted it. Long story short, I took over this car as a project and we got her an x7. We got it before covid for a great price and I plan on keeping it because it truly does keep its value, if you find the right buyer. I have a 13, g63 and the only difference is the size of the navigation screen. We got it for 71k plus tax. My whole fleet aside from the x7 are cars that maintain value My gripes with the car are as follows. The space sucks, it creaks on every bump, gets horrible gas mileage... but those aren't my major concerns. I've found rust under the windshield, and I've done just about every seal and gasket on the car at 60k miles which includes passenger valve cover, oil pan, and now my turbos are leaking likely from the couplers. Otherwise I've replaced cam sensors and steering dampener. But, with all that being said... once it became my project car it has totally stolen my heart. I've since put offroad tires on it and lifted it by two inches. I'm planning on putting some fox shocks and raising it another 2 inches. It is tremendously tall and menacing looking now and I feel like the king of the road when I drive it. Offroad guys love it, car guys love it, and it definitely attracts attention which feels good when you drive it. You begin to love the car despite its every day issues which adds to its nuance. In conclusion, family car definitely not. Project car... full send! It's definitely not a daily driver for me but I feel as though it's a future classic and a great car to have in the case of heavy snow or need to offroad. It's our backup family car thst I feel safe putting my kids in. If you have the money to buy one of thse instead of a jeep, land cruiser, or tacoma as a project it'll put a smile on your face.
They're great off road/project cars for sure and honestly the resale value on these is strong. That's crazy that you found rust by the windshield, do you live in the north?
The 2013 is nothing like the 2019+. It’s literally a completely different vehicle. The 19 forward is much larger, has better handling and braking, has more power, rides smoother and is more comfortable.
It’s an amazing SUV but you know you’re compromising when buying it. They’re so unique from the burble of the side exhausts to the lopsided body roll. There’s nothing like it.
The newer models do fix your complaints though, which I am sure are complaints that many have had, with that being said though, I go from your video to another one - Exotic Car Hacks, and the guy owns a 2015 and a newer 2020 model and guess which one he likes the most? Yes, the 2015??!! He didn't get into details like you did about build quality or MPGs, but he said with his older model, since it's not as luxurious as the newer models are he doesn't have to worry about it as much, he can park it outside, the cars are hard to damage, and he doesn't worry about it. "They're built like Jeeps, you can take them anywhere, you can park them anywhere" he says. I wish that he would of covered the interior to see what if he has some of the complaints that you have, but you both make good points, the complaints that you have are definitely something to think about - for myself the Build Quality and the MPGs are things that make me hesitate, but I am a good candidate for this car because I don't have a family, I drive solo, so this car would work for me - well, assuming that I can afford one someday that is.
This guy doesn't know what quality is. He's focused on aesthetic items but is clueless about the running gear and the frame. The thing is better built than anything else on the road. As for the lack of tech features it still has way more than I need or want. Some of us don't need electronic nannies to help us drive.
Bro next time before you buy car do little bit more research about car you are buying , buy something close to your preferences and buy something that can fit best to your needs and wishes, you clearly bought wrong car for your preferences and your needs and than you blame car bla bla bla, it wouldn’t surprise me if I see you making video about Porsche 911 and complaining about same things ( I got family of 5 and there in no space in my 911, what a stupid car!!! ), get your self Toyota highlander or Honda pilot, you complain to much about price (160k$) I’m sure there are even more expensive cars 200k$+ that fit your needs even less than 160k$ g class.
No offense but this car just seems very boxy and unattractive. I simply don't see the appeal. Am I the only person that thinks this car is kind of ugly?
I laughed all the way through this. I watched Mercedes video of the new 2025 all electric G Wagon and I reckon they watched this video and agreed with every point made and put it into the new one. 😊
This thing will have so many wiring issues, the infotainment system will fail and its going to rust to fuck because mercedes dont care about fixing those issues on ANY of thier cars. The whole mercedes build quality thing is just a MYTH they havent actually made a well built car in well over 2 decades now. They mug you off with those prices because people believe its a premium product the customer service is shockingly bad they literally dont care unless you want to buy a new car. Dont get me started on range rover uggh overpriced garbage made by the same company that also makes the worlds cheapest car. For those that think people RESPECT you for driving these muppet cars :D are narcissists and yeah most people seeing these would be like "what a B*llend!"
Seat posture thing is so real on these. If they allowed more tilting for the seat angle that alone would help a ton, add some leg support too and it would be great. It's a pretty bad driving position which is a shame, and such an easy fix.
I heard the Arabs in Saudi Arabia buy that G Wagon, prob the AMG version, some go crazy on their sand dunes all day, up the steep sand hill and if it flips over, roof or side caves in when the truck flips over or something, they just buy a new one and do it all over again. Apparently a disposable truck in Saudi Arabia 👀 lol
I used to drive Jeep Wrangler and I replace it with 2013 G63 AMG. Good truck. I love it . Of course it is not Lincoln Navigator, but I do not need Lincoln Navigator, I get what I wanted.
That's true of anything that's expensive but the G holds its value so well because many guys understand how well-made it is and how capable it is off road. The thing is an heirloom unlike any Jeep or Escalade. As for the ride, this guy should've avoided the AMG because it has much stiffer suspension, less wheel travel and larger wheels (which means less tire sidewall to soak up bumps). That's in addition to the solid axles front and rear which are built for strength not for a pillowy ride with the kids. Anyone who has a problem with the ride never understood the first thing about the vehicle in the first place.
I think that what you are looking for is a RAM TRX or maybe a Raptor R because the G wagon is the Jeep Wrangler of Germany so its not exactly the dream road vehicle
The worst about this model is the noise The hood noise the dashboard background noises is killing Especially when u drive in small quite town u can hear all the funfair noise coming from fronts Others all good for me
About sitting I.m having same problem with my Volvo Xc90 I (2014). I.m 1,90 tall and it.s a very common issue on the SUV. The only "solution" is to lower the seat, then you will have your legs more extended... and the problem will be at your hip 😂. Did you try?
Why wrangler hold value? Look parking lots...cars this days are all same. This is a toy witch is crazy safe and its perfect to have baby in it... Steering is gross and suspension in amg is too hard,you can update it I drive mine off road and it was my daily for 3 years,now it is 750hp garage queen...i just cant sell it Every time put smile on my face and new model is too gey for me so im gonna keep it. And also paddle shifters are garbage but you need to do downpipes and tune to open it up and after that is a beast :) G was ment to be a toy not toyota rav4
I agree with him entirely Mercedes-Benz after the '90s makes absolutely worthless cars for the price they charge. I tried to edit this issue and kept buying Mercedes only to keep them for 5 years and cuss myself out only to buy another one thinking maybe it would be better I would never get involved in a Mercedes ever again. There is one outfit in Spain that takes the old bands and refurbishes it factory spec. I may get myself one only that way. The gentleman is absolutely right. But it's your money buy whatever you like. Respects to everyone From the mighty Islamic Republic of IRAN🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I bought a 2002 G500 in May 2022. I love it. It looks new, it's been 100% reliable and its worth more now than I paid for it. I don't drive far to work and I have several other cars that get better fuel economy for longer trips so its fuel use is not a big deal to me. That said, I've taken it on cross country trips from Chicago to Montana and from Chicago to Georgia to Texas and back to Chicago where it has averaged 15 to 16 mpg. Not great but still about the same as most pick up trucks and just a tad lower than what a boring Toyota 4Runner would get.
@@OJxiii Ahhh I get you. You got great taste bro, I could tell from your profile picture. That's why I asked if you've now switched and fallen in love with the Benz instead 😆
You do not understand the G concept, get a golden Kia.

Seat posture thing is so real on these. If they allowed more tilting for the seat angle that alone would help a ton, add some leg support too and it would be great. It's a pretty bad driving position which is a shame, and such an easy fix.
Agreed! Literally sits and drives like a military truck
Seat angle helps you all sit up straight, better lifetime posture.
Just hope it doesn't start leaking Engine Oil, like My 2017 Mercedes Benz S class at 51K🤬🤬
I heard the Arabs in Saudi Arabia buy that G Wagon, prob the AMG version, some go crazy on their sand dunes all day, up the steep sand hill and if it flips over, roof or side caves in when the truck flips over or something, they just buy a new one and do it all over again. Apparently a disposable truck in Saudi Arabia 👀 lol
There is actually two more cup holders in the glove box once you let it down. Ha. So a total of 5 cup holders.
I love these. Rather have this then the new one
You didnt mention the full story on why and who asked MB to create it… fyi this is not a soccer mom car, need a minivan for that ;)
So 4 likes just under 40k a like 4x40=160 so i guess its priced spot in😅
You’re reviewing military style vehicle not S class , it’d be like comparing H1 with Impala
newer model has better technology, 4 cupholders, massage front seating, & much more.
I like mine, I put my phone between the handbrake and the center console
These things are like the Toyota 70 series Land cruiser where Toyota makes 5x profit
U obviously do not believe in the upcoming zombie apocalypse, but trust me you guys will be safe in the G-wagon:)
I used to drive Jeep Wrangler and I replace it with 2013 G63 AMG.
Good truck. I love it . Of course it is not Lincoln Navigator,
but I do not need Lincoln Navigator, I get what I wanted.
this is an older version
yes
This G Wagon Black Is Good But I really hate the white colour G Wagon And the name G Wagon name is really bad.I hate That Wagon name.
All the negatives seem like a positive to me
You can buy these damaged from Copart....95% of them have rolled over!
the newer one has fixed a lot of the negatives u had bro might have to buy the newer one lextasy
Its just Mafia status thats why people love it😅
Should of got Escalade V for that money
That’s my next move
I appreciate you for keeping it real. A lot of people will just buy it to show off.
That's true of anything that's expensive but the G holds its value so well because many guys understand how well-made it is and how capable it is off road. The thing is an heirloom unlike any Jeep or Escalade. As for the ride, this guy should've avoided the AMG because it has much stiffer suspension, less wheel travel and larger wheels (which means less tire sidewall to soak up bumps). That's in addition to the solid axles front and rear which are built for strength not for a pillowy ride with the kids. Anyone who has a problem with the ride never understood the first thing about the vehicle in the first place.
I think that what you are looking for is a RAM TRX or maybe a Raptor R because the G wagon is the Jeep Wrangler of Germany so its not exactly the dream road vehicle
I had a Ram TRX and miss it. Such a beast
You are right
Its my dream car and will be my first car.
I will have the 2023 one by the end of this year 🎉
IT's A MILITARY VEHICLE !!!!!!!🤦🏿♂️🙄
Good Thing I'm single
Where the side exhaust pipes?!?
The worst about this model is the noise
The hood noise the dashboard background noises is killing
Especially when u drive in small quite town u can hear all the funfair noise coming from fronts
Others all good for me
I like that rumbling noise at low rpm. It's like a lion growl. I also have an LR3 , no growl there.
About sitting I.m having same problem with my Volvo Xc90 I (2014). I.m 1,90 tall and it.s a very common issue on the SUV. The only "solution" is to lower the seat, then you will have your legs more extended... and the problem will be at your hip 😂. Did you try?
Good review though. Honest !!! 👍🏿
Why wrangler hold value?
Look parking lots...cars this days are all same.
This is a toy witch is crazy safe and its perfect to have baby in it...
Steering is gross and suspension in amg is too hard,you can update it
I drive mine off road and it was my daily for 3 years,now it is 750hp garage queen...i just cant sell it
Every time put smile on my face and new model is too gey for me so im gonna keep it.
And also paddle shifters are garbage but you need to do downpipes and tune to open it up and after that is a beast :)
G was ment to be a toy not toyota rav4
they are expensive because ex soviets think they will make them look dangerous and buy them on 20 year loans :D
That’s crazy it’s 50k where I live
I agree with him entirely Mercedes-Benz after the '90s makes absolutely worthless cars for the price they charge.
I tried to edit this issue and kept buying Mercedes only to keep them for 5 years and cuss myself out only to buy another one thinking maybe it would be better I would never get involved in a Mercedes ever again.
There is one outfit in Spain that takes the old bands and refurbishes it factory spec.
I may get myself one only that way.
The gentleman is absolutely right.
But it's your money buy whatever you like.

I bought a 2002 G500 in May 2022. I love it. It looks new, it's been 100% reliable and its worth more now than I paid for it. I don't drive far to work and I have several other cars that get better fuel economy for longer trips so its fuel use is not a big deal to me. That said, I've taken it on cross country trips from Chicago to Montana and from Chicago to Georgia to Texas and back to Chicago where it has averaged 15 to 16 mpg. Not great but still about the same as most pick up trucks and just a tad lower than what a boring Toyota 4Runner would get.
When american tries to describe german vehicle…. Sad…
I'm Belarrussian but go on
😂 💯
Oh well still buying 1
What is your suggestion for the same size family that you have? Comfort and luxury
Same size would be GLE, Range Rover sport or full size. Maybe a X5 if you like a rougher but more sportier ride.
2019+ Gs are the best Gs compared to the old models. They upgraded almost everything. It’s more luxurious and drives way much better.
I agree
Sure buddy. Upgraded the price as well. Money is infinite right?
How do you know, James? Hope you didn’t swap your Bmw for a Mercedes 🗿
@@justanmpowereddude5021 through a friend who has one… i am a BMW die hard!
@@OJxiii Ahhh I get you. You got great taste bro, I could tell from your profile picture. That's why I asked if you've now switched and fallen in love with the Benz instead 😆
2020 and up is good

I’ve seen it around and wonders who had it
Off road vehicle
Stewie from Family Guy wohoos about G Wagen. How appropriate
