1999 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML430 review from South Africa
"Best of the bunch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious!
General comments?
This is truly a magnificent car (just like every one of the 8 Mercs that I have previously owned).
I am now awaiting the delivery of my ML270 CDI. I will not consider any other 4wd vehicle mainly because of the great fuel consumption (13l/100km), comfort, reliabillity and traditional Merc quality. I must say that I am looking forward to the 270 mainly because it has the new spec, which I feel is more up to standard with the previous cars I owned.
