2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML500 review from UK and Ireland
"Perfect for the school run and the occasional rural escape!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vehicle was shunted in Kensington.
General comments?
This is my first Mercedes M-Class and I was unsure what to expect following a 1999 Range Rover 4.0 Vogue which I felt was, one of the best cars I have ever owned.
Parking in town in a 4x4 may seem like a hard job, but it isn't in a ML500 thanks to the excellent rear parking sensors and the perfect handling. The interior is comfortable, but not quite to the usual build quality of a Mercedes-Benz due to this model being manufactured in the United States!
