After owning a G Wagen for 1 year, I shared my thoughts & opinions and what its like to drive on UK roads. How difficult is it to handle? whats it like taking a LHD car to McDonalds Drive Thru and much more! #mercedes #gwagen #g55
Cool vid👍 I bought my 2006 Gelandewagen G55 AMG in 2020. It looks just like a new vehicle, only done 31000 km/19000 miles since new. Imported from Japan. Cheers from me in Norway
Like you are talking about my life, I live with the same car in Norway. But when you got a dream you got one, so sticking with it. There is something special with G's. BUT, better start saving for the electric version 😅
Loved the video. I love my 2011 G550, I don't off-road with it, but the sense of occasion it provides from behind the wheel is unmatched. Had a few land cruisers before and they just don't compare from that point. I just sold my Porsche 991 as well, so it's fun to have a car that I look forward to driving. Keep us posted on your G! More drive videos, etc would be great.
Let me know what you end up doing for the exhaust - I have an 03 G55 (non SC) and have struggled to find any recommendations to get a little more sound. Good luck!
Nicely done mate. I can't imagine owning one in the UK, the cost of petrol usage in Texas is bad enough! You're dead right on the truck/agricultural vehicle feel, and that's the joy in owning one - all the quirks and cool factor of it. Recommend a lift with new springs, wheel spacers, and larger all terrain tires, it makes the truck look and function even better. Won't help with the drive-thru though. 😆
there's a youtuber called G wise. Check his cannel out, he does the infotainment conversion and the gauge cluster conversion for G55 AMG to 2013-2018 G63 AMG Models.
Hi, they were in the car when I bought it. I have a feeling they are from a E/CLS class. They have the Later AMG logo on them (post 2010) so aren't original to the car. I also think they are slightly too wide as the leather creaks on the centre console... Odd eh?
Hi, I own a 2015 G350 “Bluetech”. DPF and Cats have been removed and Reprogrammed. Had Cat Blockage issues. I saw on your Video at about 12:30 that your car has spacers in. Did you out them in and what has your experience been? I have 30mm Hun Centric spacers myself as I had the ET63 original Rim fitted and has some rubbing on full articulation to the left. Mine is a 35 Year Edition. All stock, except for the spacers. Will NEVER sell this car and you are right, it cannot be compared with other cars as it is its own identity completely.
Hi, the car has 2cm H&R spacers all around. these were fitted when I purchased the car. I haven't driven it without them I'm afraid so I can't compare, however I havent had any issues whatsoever. thanks
I wanna get an older model after test driving it. The gas is just ….. lmaooooo but i work from home 4 days out the week so if i ever drive its really bc i feel like it
I have a 2016 G63 and the braking is excellent, commenter claims “ I can move the steering g wheel and nothing happens” yet the camera sways back and forth corresponding to the wheel movements?
The G63 has 6 pot calipers, the G55 doesnt. For the amount of steering imput I moved the wheel, the car barely moves. The recirulating ball joint steering on W463s is terrible :(
I'm ready to get a G55. I'm concerned about the reflection off the windows. Any thoughts? I live in the US so the roads are terrible and I don't want to white knuckle the steering wheel all day..lol
Ignore what Hoovies Garage says, the reflection is barely an issue. I have only once seen a reflection once and wondered what it was. Otherwise its never been an issue. Just go into it with an open mind, its a small truck, NOT a car. Kompressor or non Kompressor are you going for?
@@killerhertzmercedes I have a new Chevy Silverado crew cab. I'm ok driving bigger things .. really want a unimog..but.. I'm not sure about reliability on G55 vs g63
GM YOU SOUND LIKE U R IN ENGLAND BUT U R DRIVING A LHD SUV IAM IN JAMAICA WE DRIVE ON THE LEFT HOW DOSE IT FEEL DRIVING A LHD IN A RIGHT HAND DRIVE COUNTRY IAM LOOKING AT A LHD 2017 G63 TELL ME YR OPINION KOOOOOL
@@laitsabr I have LHD headlights still, with beam blocker stickers to get through the UK MOT. I can't justify spending £2k on RHD ones. Any decent garage should be able to aim them for you. The adjustment dials are on the back of the headlight units. Check out my G Wagen headlight replacement video
@@killerhertzmercedes Much appreciate that! It may seem easy but I am on my second set of aftermarket lights and for the life of me I cannot get them aimed correctly. Almost as if the frame itself is off. I had professional help who did not do better and told me to buy more expensive lights :) $900 is still too cheap apparently...
