Used 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV Consumer Reviews
2005 ML 35 Special Edition
Owned this car for 15 years and have had no major problems. Normal upkeep as wear and tear items wear out. 135000 miles now and am ready for tires but guess what? except for chinese tires none are available. My favorite Michelin 275/55/R17 109V which have lasted for ever it seems can not be found. I talked to the Michelin Factory several times over the past year and they say that the tire is not scheduled to be produced. My local Mercedes dealer can not locate tires for this car either. The service manager says he is dumbfounded about this !!! I really have enjoyed the car and would give it an eight out of ten but I guess I will have to look for something else simply due to the tire issue.

ML 350 Experience
We have the car 2 years now, so far no technical problems. This is second Mercedes, the first one being an E320 4Matic. We came into the dealer to buy a C240 4Matic, but when my wife saw the 350, she was attracted to it. The price was very attractive so after a short test drive we decided to go for it. In retrospect, I kick myself for making such a spontaneous decision. The car is no comparision to the smoothness of the E320. This one feels really like a truck. But my main issues with the car are the engine and the fuel economy. The engine does not feel and sound like a Mercedes engine, it is underpowered and noisy, awful. Fuel consumption is horrible. Never will buy again.
