Looks great. Very macho vehicle. Driving was a different story. Steering was numb. Ergonomics were dated. Uncomfortable seating position for long trips.

Such a solid drive. Extremely comfortable. The quality of the vehicle is so amazing. We feel much safer with this heavy vehicle.

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.

Our second G. My wife wanted one of the last ones to make it to North America. She loves it and places me second place in our home. Great ride and commands the road. The new 2006 being built in Alabama does not deserve the G CLASS name!! It is an embarassment to us G lovers!! (maybe Pacifica 2 would be more appropriate!)
