My Looming Dilemma

Solmanic said:

Then the W464 G-Wagen is unfortunately only really fit for mall crawling or flexing on a moderate off-road course. It has IFS and far far more technical gadgetry than I would ever want or need. And electronic handbrakes are just useless offroad. Not to mention that they have taken the pricing up into the stratosphere and the diesel G400 isn't even available here either.

I have had at least 7 vehicles with sunroofs and none of them leaked.
Current vehicle has a glass roof and everything in front of the cross beam opens.
So 70% of the roof.
Never a leak.

The vehicle has been delivered and we are 1500km into the shakedown trip. I’m accumulating a list of comparison points which I will lay out when we’re back and I have a full size keyboard.

We have progressed from intimidating to fun but still working out the best driving configuration. Hopefully by the end of the trip it will be comfortable and familiar. Like a new pair of underpants that are constricting at first, then become part of you.
