After driving Chevy Blazer 3 years Looked at ML350 What a difference ! When you compare fully loaded GM VS standard ML 350 you get a lot for your money. I wanted get 7 seat capable I got M1/M5/M7/168/873 just below invoice. Plus good trade for my Blazer LT (by bye blazer). . Satellite tracking/Tele-aid/garage door opener are BIG+ Classy interior. Indend to keep it for a long time....
Great SUV, when it's working.

This is a great SUV. Super comfortable, great 4WD system, super capable off-roader (even beyond it's class), and excellent sound system with the Bose premium sound system. However, my 2003 ML350 has been ridiculously unreliable. I bought it with 105k miles and I'm not at 144k miles. It almost religiously needs some sort of repair or maintenance every 4 to 8 weeks. It has gotten ridiculous. So much so that after 2 years, I'm finally considering getting rid of it just because I've had enough with the unreliability. And this is coming from a wrench who has done ALL of the repairs myself. If someone owned this car and didn't have any car repair/maintenance skills, this vehicle would be dead in the dirt or put them in the poor house.

A Few Flaws

Got an ML 350 with 3rd row seating. Great option for those with children under 12 as they fold out of the way sideways and can be removed entirely pretty easily. Car is beautiful with Inspiration pkg and upgraded sound system is a must. I knew mpg wasn't going to be good, but faulty gas gauge sensor has made it worse (Could only go 200 miles on a tank, as sensor wasn't reading final 7 gallons or so). Also the moonroof didn't open properly at first and after getting it fixed, the weatherstripping around it is now falling off. I am hopeful dealer will be able to fix permanently. All in all, fun car to drive with a few production defects.

This is a great vehicle - we owned a 2000 320ML and this is an improvement. The Inspiration edition is worth the extra bucks - we paid only $350 more for it and it's great!
ML350 Disappointment

My new ML 350 now has 1000 miles on the clock. 600 of those miles came from traveling to the dealer to have the " check engine" trouble light checked out. Apparently fuel management system and the emissions control system contains unreliable components.Presently I am waiting for new parts.A factory recall for exchange of power steering hose clamps was installed also. I very much looked forward to driving a Mercedes again. I owned a 230 for 15 years and a 280E for 3 years. They were great cars. Pity that the marque has fallen so much.I am afraid that I will not have any confidence that I can take this truck on a long distance trip.Bloody shame..
