G55 : a big toy ?
#26
Does not seem normal to tram line like that. Maybe something up.
Other than my fast cars, I have a 2011 GMC Denali 2500HD (diesel), a 2014 Denali 1500, a 1997 Landcruiser and just dumped a 2014 Range Rover SC for my 2014 G63. The 2500 pickup is a tad rougher than the G, but is honestly easier to drive as the G tends to wander all over the road (please someone tell me if this is not normal). The 1500 is more comfortable and much easier to drive than the G. The LC is more comfortable, but wanders much like the G because I have 37s on it. The ride quality and comfort of the G cannot even touch that of the RR. Furthermore, the G55 is rougher than the G63 and the G500 is supposedly more comfortable than both AMGs, but I don't have seat time in a G500 to confirm. Just because it's an AMG doesn't mean its lack of comfort should be compared with sports car and exotic suspensions set up for handling and performance - it's a truck suspension. That being said, I only have one other exotic that puts a bigger smile on my face than the G63. It's a crappy ride and handles like poo, but is just plain fun. In my opinion, a G should be at least a 5th or 6th car, not your only car.
