New to the forum - hello!

Post#1 » Sat Jul 14, 2018 1:42 pm

Hi everyone, just joined the forum today. I recently purchased a new 2018 w461 G300 CDI down here in Australia. Due to the recent military contract with Mercedes coupled with the fact all military vehicles need to be roadworthy, we are lucky to get civilian access to this version of the G.

I’ve joined mostly for advice on modifications and improvements. Looking forward to being a part of the community!

Hi there, welcome to this forum which is jammed packed with useful stuff.
I got to drive a new G300 in Victoria recently!
Very impressed and not noisy at all, as people had told me.

There is a G-owners trip planned in Vic coming up, check AGOA if you are not already a member

Its good to see Aussies take advantage of the availability of the W461.
I think a lot more could be sold if Mercedes did some marketing.

Cheers grazza! Yes the g300 does drive pretty quiet, they did a good job with the NVH tuning. A lot of car reviewers of the early release in 2017 also complained about the 5 speed auto at freeway speeds but that must have been tuned for 2018 cause it drives great up to 120kph (although I don’t take it that high! Usually cruise at 90 max)

I’ll check out the AGOA, thanks for the tip!

Wow, you are a very lucky G-owner indeed. You have one of the most desired models we all dream of. Congratulations & welcome to the group!

Stop teasing and post some photos of that beauty-machine!
