2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML 320 review from North America
"A pleasure to drive and that's the most important thing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger window is not working.
Brakes had to be replaced as part of maintenance.
General comments?
I love the truck. It performs like my old Dodge Stealth. Very roomy and safe. The Bose sound system is great.
The seats could be a bit softer for long drives.
I bought a warranty and that will help with the bad driver's side window. It uses a bit less gas than a suburban, but not by much. The truck's handling and performance is worth it. I did not expect it to be perfect. The performance is more important than minor problems.
The full time all-wheel drive is awesome. Many "sports cars" have not been able to keep up with my Mercedes on challenging roads. It passes like a rocket. Very stable at high speed. The best vehicle I've ever owned.
