Much better than Porsche

2008 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML63 AMG 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 7A)

I purchased the AMG63 for my wife to replace her Porsche Cayanne S. She was hesitant because she really loved her Porsche, but after driving it for few days she fell in love with it. The ML63 is so much fun to drive that I almost like it more than my CLK AMG convertible. I cannot imagine anyone not liking this SUV. If you have $95,000 to spare there is no better family car to have. I guarantee it.

Have only had this ML320 for 5 weeks, but wow! I have had BMW's, Cadillacs and Jeeps, but nothing compares. Great to drive, unbelievable performance, and the mileage is tremendous, better than advertised. Need to get more experience with all the features, but so far, so great!

We purchased this vehicle in 2010 used with only 16,000 miles on it. It has been okay but I expected a bit more from a "luxury" manufacturer. At the end of the day, they are about the same as GM, Ford, etc. The electronic items that fail are really irritating. To date, we have had the rear hatch lock replaced, the drivers side door lock replaced, and the master window switch on the drivers door replaced. There aren't any children riding in this vehicle abusing the electronics so I just chalk it up to poor design and / or manufacturing. On the positive side of things, it still has the original tires and they are still have good tread, the vehicle rides great, looks great, and we enjoy driving it. We don't drive a lot here in Omaha, NE and put less than 5,000 miles per year on it so it still has only 45,000 total miles on the vehicle. Hopefully it will live up to the standards of our old C230 Kompressor that is still going strong at over 260,000 miles...

I have only had my ML350 for 1 year and the battery has died on me twice already. Here I am in a brand new Mercedes and I have to get a jump, how embarrasing. The second time the battery died I took it to the dealership and they said that the computer chip got wet some how. They want to charge me $900, but it's not happening.

Do not buy this vehicle if you do not want to be doing all sorts of expensive repairs on a regular basis.At 70k miles mine is falling apart,as far as im concerned the worst vehicle made with a Mercedes logo on it.Stay away from this vehicle . I just wanted to update my review.One year later still think its a piece of crap.Had to replace wheel sensors due to about 6 inches of snow.Dead battery after having Mercedes replace one exactly one year ago 515.00 !!!! Rear lift gate stopped working. The best part of these vehicles was left in Germany. This 50K vehicle has 94K miles on it now. Designed in Germany BUILT IN USA.Garbage. All in all one year of repairs ran over 10K in cost.Got rid of this POS purchased a brand new 4Runner.Stay away from Mercedes.They stopped building good cars in the 90s.
