After paying $11k in repairs on my wife’s Range Rover and having it for a week I got a check engine light on. I was like Efff this I’m over this car. Went to visit my buddy who is the GM at the MB dealership. And well that went about as well as I thought ...  

Love the watch, Jorge 👍

Keep that incredible Rolex Daytona timepiece ⌚ ❤️

She’s a lifer on Rover.

I outright refused. She did get a top-line Mazda ("with turbo and the subwoofer"). Rides on rails, really nice torque / pedal response, and it even has a real oil dip stick. The subwoofer is lots of fun, so is the turbo. I married Mrs. Right. ❤️ Zoom Zoom... 

And that this is her only car. How do you argue that?

That I got rid of mine only to have my wife stick with the brand and get another new one

Admittedly, that is a sleek Rover in the picture next to Gwagon.

And we saw all the 7 seaters we could and still came back to the Rover. We went to MB to look at cars for her and I walked away with this one. The color was so beautiful and it had all the right specs.

Not recommended.

Why you added Bentley to the list. They should have relatively standard VW Group reliability…

With a lot of respect to you my friend, and am guessing you have no personal experience with owning one, or two in my case, Bentley cars.... so you are very very very much forgiven. May I very humbly suggest you look up why Bentley, and sure add Maserati,... 

Personally I need to buy cars new as I don’t have a wonderful track record once they fall out of warranty. Thus, looking at a preowned vehicle is not in the cards. Do I think the Bentley is a good car? Sure I do. It’s just not the right fit for us, that’s... 

In the snow using Blizzak tyres, it truly was astonishingly easy to pilot. The relatively balanced very heavy weight of the car combined with the suspension / etc really worked brilliantly! Turn off the electronic nannies, i could slide it with amazing pr... 

CGT, Flying Spur, Bentayga…?

Back then lived in New England mountain-ish. As much fun as a Subie WRX was back then, whoever electronically tuned the Bentley for snow response and handling deserves a few rounds of drinks on me. Brilliant car in the snow!

On Lake Baikal many years ago. Subsequently beaten by the Hyundai i30N by over an hour. Albeit quite a large part of the difference were the tires - the Bentley using European winter tires, which were relatively useless 😊

Just a question. And having ample experience with German car brands, they’re hardly a paragon of reliability. The AMG never manages 6k miles without having to go to the dealer 😉🤪

I actually like the quieter nature of the engine. Definitely love the better fuel economy of averaging 19 mpg. I love my screamers and howlers for weekend driving but for every day use and commutes this is actually a wonderful car. Was going to hold it un... 

The G color looks really nice！

The only 2025s at the dealerships right now are the 550 and although I consider myself always a bigger engine guy. I am impressed with the new inline 6. Feels zippy and I get 19mpg on the highway which is a bonus when I’m driving 500 miles a week for work...  

I do not like the fact that they added a mild hybrid system for MY2025. I had to change the 48V battery at 4k miles on my new GLS63 and this is not an isolated case.

But I added $23k in extended warranties so I am practically covered for everything up to 100k miles

And keeping fingers crossed reliability wise for you for both of them 🤞🏻

Love the infotainment center and the touch lock and open doors.

Rolex included ;-) I'm not a SUV/Jeep fan, but in this case I'd go for the Mercedes as well. These new Range Rovers are like houses on the road, not a fan .. at all . Filip
