G55 Handling
hello guys, im seriously considering between an cls 63 and g55.
i want the g55 more and i got a few questions about 2007 g55
I Drive an touareg v10 tdi 2006 in istanbul and i love its handling and power etc. my question is ***** the g55 corner and handle as good as an touareg v10 tdi? and does it have raiseable and lowerable air suspension?
if not waht handling mods can be done to it.
I Would also love a rear seat entertainment system.

I Love the g55, so its not like touareg? i dont care much for air suspension but i need to tow an polaris sportsman 800 and a yamaha gp1300r jet ski too... and cls 63 cant do that i assume. no tow hitch. thats why i love the g55 its fast and amazing offroad. i got a question however does your g55 corner good enough? its an SUV i dont expect it to corner like an ariel atom but i do expect it to corner better than an honda civic

G55, G500 & SLK55
The G55 doesnt have airsuspension like the Touareg does but it handles pretty well for its size not sure it could cut corners like other smaller suv's such as the ML,X5 and Cayenne; Thought Ive got to say its one of the Fun SUV's you could enjoy daily and no matter what the weather is.
Open the Sunroof lower the windows and enjoy the spirited driving with 500hp of pure s/c power and enjoying your favourite songs. What I like about the G-class in general that it feels properly built and of high quality, which you can find in most new cars as they try to reduce costs and so on.
The CLS is a great car too, but I would say get the G55 it has the status,pedigree and looks you cannot find in most cars, in addition its hand made in Austria whilst the CLS isnt.
At the end its your choice as you are going to drive the car, Lastly I would just suggest you to go and test drive them thoroughly so you can decide what best suites you and if they are up to your liking.

.........it has all those things because it is a tall SUV with a high center of gravity. The more I read your posts, the more I am convinced that you won't like the G55. You can attach a toe hitch to the rea of the CLS. You can then toe with it and also take it to Willow Springs. It will handle well and has adjustable air suspension. Seems obvious to me.

I agree alroumi........My friend got a CLS 63 and I loved it and I was thinking about getting rid of my G55 for the CLS but friends were telling me I was crazy.....The G55 is more rare and has more status, when you see it driving down the street you know its a G55 it stands out of everything...as of handling??? I think it handles alright.....It handles better than most cars

get a ml63, its a much better everyday car, rides 1000X better than the g (it really rides old school
), can tackle corners and its much faster than a g when the speed increase
