She needed a 7 seater
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.
His and hers..
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 ...
Range Rover, Bentley, Maserati.... things you should NEVER buy / own imho.
Keep that incredible Rolex Daytona timepiece ⌚ ❤️
(Deep sigh) Sometimes you have to say no. You just do :( .. Ummm, mine wanted a Jaguar SUV with 'the big engine'.
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...
The problem is when she brings up my cars..
And that this is her only car. How do you argue that?
Yes I was so angry it happened again after I had it repaired
That I got rid of mine only to have my wife stick with the brand and get another new one
Does she like the G wagon, or not her style?
Admittedly, that is a sleek Rover in the picture next to Gwagon.

Curious…
Why you added Bentley to the list. They should have relatively standard VW Group reliability…
"Added Bentley.... 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,...
I appreciate all the recommendations and their are cars for everyone.
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...
Will keep this positive (let's just ignore all financial cost and service time and....) If you plan to drive it in the snow, it is THE BEST winter car i have ever driven.
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...
Great question, year/type matters. Was a 2006 hard top W12 and 50-50 power split.
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!
The Flying Spur did a speed over distance record on ice (1000km if I recall correctly)…
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 😊
It was not meant as a recommendation from my side…
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 😉🤪
Honestly after been driving my car for a few days being a G550 and not the AMG
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...
Thanks brother it’s…
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...
Good luck with the G!
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.
Well fingers crossed it works.
But I added $23k in extended warranties so I am practically covered for everything up to 100k miles
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
And keeping fingers crossed reliability wise for you for both of them 🤞🏻
The 2025 redesign is already worth the price of admission.
Love the infotainment center and the touch lock and open doors.
That must be at least 5000 kilos !
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
