2017 G Professional experiences

Hi, I have owned the 2017 Professional for almost a year. Here is some feedback; 1.Floor freedom is 230 & not 245mm.I measure ground freedom between deepest point(diff) & the floor.Mercedes does not measure it differently but from the logical lowest point(diff) 2.Diesel consumption; Mercedes; cut 9,9liter, me; 12-13 liter/100km(no offroad) 3.No motor brake moment in low range rearguards gear!Can be very stable downhill on snow & ice. 4.Horror turboloch 5.Copy paste interior/electronics vo A professional driver should think for himself & not leave everything to the electronics.Window cranks & no carpets are good but doesn’t fit the luxury electronics right now. 6.High weight on snow uphill. The G gives up relatively quickly. 7.Fahrwerk is perfect, steering is perfect, overview perfect.Freude an Fahren(except horror turboloch) 8.Many small quality defects otherwise it has a solid impression. e close/open makes pleasure. I am a land cruiser owner before & have always had absolute confidence in that car. This trust lacks with the professional, too much complex electronics. I will never drive any further than I can run back. Certainly not tomorrow to Cape Town. A problem today with all modern “field cars”. Mercedes should offer 2 different G’s, the normal luxury & a purist professional. Now they have 2 normal luxury G’s, one with te carpet & one without carpet. But my wife loves the G & that says it stays a while longer.
