Was keen on acquiring a G-wagon, but just drove one and have a few questions.

It's good to have an expert who took the G for a test drive for his article, and another who does not appear to have any first hand experience with the G.
In 18 yrs and 111k miles, my 1984 280GE had firm steering and did not rattle. In 11 yrs and 40k miles, the same is true for my 2000 G500. But, as some seem to be so sure of, long term seat of the pants experience doesn't count for much.

And glad to know that your vehicle doesn't have rattles/squeaks.
They're quite rare at dealerships here. Some dealers have one, most dealers have none.

Dutch, Chris was driving a brand new G63. Have you seen the video? Mine is exactly the same. Watch 5:30 to 5:40 on this video... I'm sure you've seen it
