Used 2011 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Consumer Reviews
Great car
Why go with some lower middle class vehicle liek the Lexus or the H2? The G500 defines luxury and is used all over the world for military, industrial and civilian use. This is a tested SUV, not something marketed to soccer moms.
Mixed bag like most cars
I own it because I appreciate iconic industrial design. It makes me smile every time I walk up to it. It rides fine. Its turning radius surprisingly tight. Steering and breaks are also fine despite the weight. Don't listen to folks who never spend time with a G. As far as reliability, it is below average. If you expect Toyota reliability you will be disappointed. It prone to develop rust very quickly on door hinges & under the windshield gasket. It is not stable on icy paved roads. CONS: 1.Large but has limited cargo and interior space. 2. Freezing door locks in the Winter. 3. Worst folding mechanism for rear seats in the car industry. 3. You will have to check height clearance of every public parking before going out. 4. Will never stay in lane, constant steering input required. 5. Getting very dirty very fast due to square shape. 6. Unless you have diesel you will have Tesla driving range of 450km.

G55 is a solid luxury SUV
I bought this G55 for my wife. While it is not a typical squshy SUV,it is everything else and more. The power is amazing, Motor trend shows it at 0- 60MPH in 4.7 seconds agianst the cayanne S, bmx x series.It is very well built, handles very well and I feel safe with my wife and 3 children driving in it daily. The interior has superior finishes. The rear seats are great with 3 dedicated true seats, logs of leg room and a tall roof make it spacious. The trunk is very deep and easy to put strollers and groceries into. As the car breaks in, it is getting quicker in performance. I would buy it again in a minute. Once you drive it, you won't drive any other suv. No problems thus far at all.
10 Months experience G-55 Gelaendewagen
We enjoy the sheer power surge, predictable cornering and handling of the truck. The very hard ride telegraphs every bump in the road, but provides outstanding steering control. Seat comfort and space for front seat occupants is very good. A/C and heating perform well. The steep angle of the windshield makes the car sensitive to stone damage.(2 incidents in 3,600 miles) The car was driven cross country in a wide range of weather conditions and at high speeds without problems The cd based GPS system is a nightmare in fringe areas because Navtech software does not overlap regions.
Awesome SUV
I have owned Blazers, 4-Runners and others and this is by far the best SUV on the road.
