Best Compliment on G30

hey guys... I picked up G30 about 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it. One of my friends who drives 2017 E class took it for a drive. He was thoroughly impressed. He told me afterwards that this car looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised this coming from a benz owner which is a more luxury oriented car.

curious to know what are some of the best compliments you have received on your G30

I have not received any compliments for the G30 yet but it's not the point , most people don't even notice that's a brand spanking new 5 Series . I used to drive an E Class too. G30 is better in every respect at the lightest terms

I recieve compliments everywhere - from work, friends to unknown and everybody looks at my car. I am surprised because in our city are expensive cars usual..

Well, after a short ride in the front-seat, my daughter told me: "not too shabby".....

Didn't get many remarks otherwise, I feel its big size is amazingly well disguised by the sharp design.

But who cares what others think - I love it!

Love the G30

I have been complimented by colleagues who sat in my car whilst carrying out assessments. I was complimented by a restaurant owner: 'your car is beautiful'

I took my M sport to my buddy who is the sales manager at MB. He sat in it for about half hour playing and giving it a few walkarounds. when he was done he remarked "A much better car than our e class, in looks and tech." He was so.impreesed that he called his sales staff to come out to "check" this car out. To me the e class has to many curves going on (like they trying too hard" and that command online is a disaster.

I've just got my G30 back after a week in a loaner 7 series and I can't tell you how happy I am to get back in it.

Don't get me wrong the 7 is a nice place to be, but it's so much bigger and bulkier and just feels less nimble.

Also having the 3.0 petrol rather than the diesel is also a big plus.

As for the E class, it just looks like an updated Rover 75 to me... I kept looking at the E class thinking it reminded me of something and that I wasn't impressed, then I saw an old 75 and it just clicked!
