Grt=eat SUV for the money

This SUV has style and comfort, it handles very well and is responsive. It came equipped with the Edition package and everything works properly and has met all my expectations. It has been a pleasure to own and I fully expect it to last as long as my last Mercedes which I had for nine years.

How sweet it is

I live in the mountains and my car is a 320 diesel . Coupled with the 7 speed transmission it really has plenty of power to spare and I'm typically getting 24 mpg which is highway mileage . The car has the sport package and handles the complex terrain very well. With a 25 gallon tank, the car has a 620 mile range. My last Mercedes had 220,000 miles and 15 years when I turned it over to my son-in-law . It runs like a clock. You pay a little more up front, but in the end it pays you back.

A true Mercedes

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.

Will steal your money

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.

Safest car i ever owned

Sporty, sexy, reliable and fast!!! Love this car!!! If you want a safe vehicle with plenty of room and very stylish, this is the car for you. Be careful though, it is very fast. 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds.

2008 ML350

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.

Extremely comfortable vehicle.

I had the ML550 and found it to be completely satisying in the comfort and power arenas. Really a great vehicle.

"Should have kept my Acura MDX touring"

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....
