I've had 2 of these, a 2018 AMG 63 and 2021 AMG 63. I just traded my 2021 for slightly less than what I paid for it in exchange for an AMG GLE 63s which is far more comfortable, more agile, faster and less showy. My problem with the Gwagon is that it screams LOOK AT ME! Especially if you're entering a CVS at night or similar situation. The G's do not handle particularly well either, and are uncomfortable on road trips over 2 hours. They also have very little back seat room. This aside, they are beautifully appointed and really badass. As for price, back in the days when the economy was booming - these things were selling for 100k over sticker and flying off the lots. Not you can get an AMG 63 for about 250K, but I'd double check the dealership because they tend to mark them up on a dime. A final note: if you get into an accident with one of these, you will never get a dime for when you decide to sell. Wealthy people do not want damaged goods and the dealerships know it, so be very, very careful on the road.

[@chibage]

Honest comment, but I can tell you were probably not target clientele even though you could afford it.

[@garthhowe297]

It's crazy to think that more Corollas will be driven off road, than one of the most expensive, most capable, off road vehicles made.

[@reestyfarts]

Absolutely right.

Exactly, the ultimate poser vehicle for the one percentars 😊

dumbest vehicle of all time, when I see one of these go by I think: really? you are driving a fk you to every child on earth

[@dsdddsd4543we]

I love the G Class. It has a brutal/brash design. I always did feel like the rear passenger room was tight for such a large vehicle, but making the wheel base longer will affect the iconic shape of the vehicle. This is definitely a status symbol, and most people who own one, can buy 10 of them without feeling their wealth decrease.

[@pykemid3954]

wannarich try to keep up wit wealthy hahahha so jokess some shitt armor car

[@jamesdoyle5405]

Also the longer the wheelbase the easier you high centre. Much more capable offroad.

[@user-um3fx2vk8r]

that last statement is entirely false lol. you cant actually assume people who own a G63 can buy 10 of them

[@emmapeelible]

That's not true (about owners being able to buy 10 of them). It's a huge status symbol, hence a lot of moderately rich people stretch their budgets to buy one. Most real ultra-wealthy Mercedes buyers go for the S-class or E-class wagon.

[@minniesaab7255]

Definitely one of the favorites

[@johnharolds1929]

Great review. Actually more excited for your upcoming SL63 review. I got one back in April! Couple of nitpicks that I'm not sure if you've picked up on: 1. no dedicated skip track button the steering wheel; 2. random notifications that the battery starter power is low; 3. unlike BMW, when music is playing from your phone's bluetooth connection, if you plug it in, it doesn't automatically switch to the better wired connection as you have to manually switch it; and 4. Keyless Go doesn't work like 60% of the time.

[@gilbertferguson1685]

[@Rottylover87836]

I LOVE the G63. The Gas Milage isn’t really as bad as I thought, especially since my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 Hemi gets 13.4 MPG city and like 16.8 MPG Highway. I wish they would update the infotainment system, and even if they add that touchpad thing on the inside of the door handle, because no matter what you do, you have to still touch back there to open the doors!

The fact that they raised the price from $159k to $179k really explains how the buyers of these don’t care how much they cost. G-wagon owners are known to be the wealthiest Benz owners!

[@DonLee1980]

one of the issues about the design of the G is that because the windows are so straight up, you see things come up on your peripheral vision on both sides of the car but and you second guess where it's coming from because one window shows the object in the window, and the other window reflects that image from the other window.

The "law of diminishing returns" applies to this vehicle . Almost identical concept to bespoken "work boots" . A top of the line "regular" hand made (but not bespoken) work boot will cost you $600.00 +/- . The same type of boot but bespoken will cost you $3,000.00 +/-. You will use the $600.00 one to work BUT NEVER put the $3,000.00 in the same condition.
