    Any Subaru with the DCCD system, an absolute monster in LOCK mode.

    Lots of ground clearance, SOTF 4x4, locking rear diff, and can throw some weight in the back for added traction. Can carry your family, defeat the TC, and you got a rear wheel drive play toy.

    When was this?! This looks like so much fun, I'd love to take my G37 out.

    Edit-

    Wow, I should of just read the title..

    Did you make deer sausage? If so, you have to give me half dozen.

    I researched the pros and cons of each option. I went with wide and tall (these are 20's). I've got skinny winters on my Fiesta ST.

    Golf R with winters/studs has been an absolute blast.

    As my ultimate vehicle though, something bigger but no idea what exactly.

    They look amazing and are kind of quick in a straight line but the novelty runs out very quickly. They’re great as a second vehicle for your wife that you can drive from time to time but as a daily aren’t that great.

    Cross shopped this with the long wheelbase autobiography and it wasn’t even a comparison. The range was better in every way imaginable (besides reliability).

    two different vehicles.

    RR - comfort and relaxing drive. gadgets and gizmos abundent.
    G - truck based and go get em. spartan and bombass.

    I actually think that if it's for your wife, better go get that RR for her cuz the rumble from the G63 ain't their thing.

    What I meant is that it feels like it’s going to tip over around every corner, it’s not very comfortable, sucks driving on the highway due to wind gusts and everything is made of steel so its clunky and sounds like shit when closing doors or tailgate.

    BTW, range rovers are considered to be some of the best and most capable off road vehicles in the world much like the g-wagon. Not only that but they’re both luxury suvs that are in a very similar price bracket. As for performance my supercharged v8 still packs over 500.

    Not exactly 2 different vehicles.

    I never mentioned that one wasn't more capable than the other. I mentioned that both are different in terms of style and ride.

    You know they are mechanical doors and suppose to sound like a thud when you close it.

    Your supercharged v8... lmao. You know that most of them are supercharged (diesel being the exception). You're taking a vehicle built from the ground up to be luxurious and comparing it to something that was built during war times and kept in its design till now.

    I'm saying not one is better than the other, just that they are different. I have owned both for your reference.
