"I love my suv, true to the mercedes benz name it has the best ride. The smooth ride is better then some passenger cars. It is a very solid vehicle. I was caught in one of the worst storms to hit Maryland and i felt like i was driving a tank rock solid."

"This is the most dishonest car dealership out there, please beware they will steal your deposit. They have you sign an agreement and collect money from you. They will then sell the car to someone else before you can finish the purchase and not refund your deposit. Very dishonest and not trustworthy."

"I have and continue to be a Mercedes Benz fan. I continue to question why Consumer Reports seems to really have a problem with Mercedes. Take a good look around and see how many are still actively running on the streets all across the country. Must be something to them, obviously Consumer Reports hasn't figured it out. I really think the editor of Consumer Report must have had a night mare as a child and subsequently has mental issues and can't deal with such a fin automobile. Let's see, we own five in the family and love each one, and as such, will continue to be a Mercedes owner. Best car built. If you want the latest and most ridiculous technology (the non-essentials), then buy Japanese, or other brands. If you are looking for serious technology, the really important things to make a car run and increases Safety, then you stay with Mercedes. Sure, their Nav system isn't the super fantastic gee-whiz system, but hey it works and gets me everywhere I need to go. I buy the car for driving and knowing I'm extremely safe. Highly recommend the ML350, we currently have 2 2008 ML's; must be a good reason, you think? It wasn't the price, we bought one brand new, the other was MB Certified. If you want to drive the world's best driving cars, feel extremely safe, then if you are a serious driver with aspirations of owning a solid safe vehicle, then move into a Mercedes. If price is a factor, then maybe you really re-think life's priorities. Is it all about price or safety? I know having 5 of them, to me it's all about Safety."

"I have not had my 2008 ML 350 for a year and it has been back to the dealer for problems 4 times... Problems like : being stuck in gear not being able to move, when shifting into drive and stepping on the gas the suv went backwards. electrical problems : mirrors not closing when armed, telescoping steering not working, drivers seat not working, navigation sytem losing settings and more. For the cost this suv should not have problems at 7000 mlies. Looks great drives well but is not reliable...."

"The M-Class Mercedes is very well an understatement. I have Several cars, the Lexus RX350, The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, Cadillac Escalade ESV, and the QX56. Out these cars, this my one of my favorite. The engine is quick and responses fast. I press the paddle and the car goes flying. I think that the Exterior Styling of the car is amazing and makes a statement, when it comes down the road. I would say that the interior design is good, but i would say that it would improved. Personal i would love this car and has a powerful engine. It also has a very soft acceleration."

"I have a 320 CDI and absolutely love it. From the fit/finish to the comfort and beauty, it is a great vehicle all around. The diesel is a pleasure to drive, has enough torque to do what I need in traffic. Besides the fact I average 25 mpg around town. I haven't taken it on a longer trip but I bet it will be at least 30mpg on the open road. I only have 1100 miles on the car, but have only filled it 2 times. You guessed it, that is 550 miles on one tank, and that is around town. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I recommend a diesel to anyone who wants a very efficient alternative to a hybrid. What would be most excellent is to make a diesel hybrid."

"I traded an MDX for this 08 ML350. I have had it three months and just short of 900 miles. I look forward to driving it on the weekends. It is a true pleasure to drive thus far. Navigation takes some getting used to so have patience."

"Bought 08 ml demo with tons of upgrades. If you can afford it go for the upgrades. The base model looks to plain. The upgrades include, appearance pkg, sportier rims, running boards, nav, ipod, heated seats, crome trimming. The car looks awesome. I love the ride, it is great for work, beach, pleasure. In the snow the car is great. I am glad I got the ml vs the s 550."
