In this episode from The Fast Lane Car, they dive into the world of the Mercedes G Wagon, a beast of a machine that oozes luxury and off-road prowess. Purchased for a mere $58,000, this $150,000 G Wagon proves to be a steal, not for its prestige, but for its sheer capability. Forget the high-end purses and fancy watches; this G Wagon means business with its 563 horsepower twin-turbo V8, three locking discs, and seven-speed automatic transmission.
While reliability has been a concern with some Mercedes models, the 2016 G Wagon stands out as a dependable workhorse, with only minor issues like the twin-turbo setup and automatic transmission cropping up. Despite its 89,000 miles, this G Wagon impresses with its well-maintained interior, featuring quilted leather seats and carbon fiber accents that exude luxury. However, the outdated technology, including a non-touchscreen display, may leave some wanting more in terms of modern amenities.
Behind the wheel, the G Wagon delivers a driving experience like no other, reminiscent of a Jeep Wrangler 392 but with a touch of elegance. The 5.5 L biturbo V8 engine roars to life, providing ample torque and power for an exhilarating ride. While not the most practical choice, the G Wagon appeals to those seeking adventure and individuality in their off-road journeys. So, if you're up for a wild and unconventional ride, the used G Wagon might just be the perfect fit for you.
