2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ml 320 review from North America
"Really a good luxury suv, great German engineering"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much... so far just the rear and front brakes which I replaced myself being a little technically inclined. Luckily at nearing the end of my manufacturers warranty the dealership suggested that I have all the things they thought w'd most likely give problems replaced. They replaced quite a lot of items despite the fact that nothing was wrong and it I guess paid off no problems thus far. The total cost for all the dealer did was upto $4,000...yep good thing it did not come from my pocket.
Turns out I must have had one of the better assembled ml320...seems most people have had so many bad experiences with this mercedes line of vehicles.
General comments?
Drives pretty well...mine is the sports edition with amg tail piece, makes for a lovely drone and superb pick up off the line.
Really a nice car... My cousin drives the x5 bmw v8 have driven it couple of times still prefer mine to his w'd definetly buy another one. Have driven it to New York and back to denver, Colorado no problems, definely an excellent highway car.
