I have worked for Mercedes for over 10 years. Always known it's the safest car in the world and the craftsmenship is A+. Finally I leased one and even more excited then I could have imagined. There is no one noise at 80mph+. The stereo system with over 600watts is awesome. The suspension system with the upgrades to agility control cant be beat. It even almost makes sharper u-turns than my motorcycle. The Nav is hard drive based and is almost immediate when using. The voice control system is awesome and can even be tweaked to understand people with accents, like my wife who is from Romania.
Does anyone else notice these issues?

I own 3 Mercedes Benz's. A 2006 S500 with 120,000 miles, a CLK550 with 50,000 miles and the 2009 ML350 with 53,000 miles. Out of these 3, the first 2 are manufactured in Germany. The ML is made here in the USA. The first 2 get 24-27 mpg on a long trip. The ML350 gets around 20mpg. Heres the issues. The ML is not made as well as the other 2. It has had rear hatch issues, sunroof issues (just had to replace the switch on the sunroof, cost almost $1,000) and multiple other very minor issues that always seem to cost between $500 and $1000. The cover of the drivers rear view mirror popped off. Everything functioned, but the cover would sometimes pop off in the car wash. Cost to repair $630.

I liked the 2006 ML so much I got a 2009 ML when my lease was up. The 2009 gas mileage averages around 10mpg in the city and 15mpg on the hwy. Compared to 15mpg in city and 22 mpg that i got with the 2006. The handling on the 2006 was great and fun to drive, the 2009 doesnt have steering with as much feel, it feels more like a bus. No feedback. I think the steering wheel is also bigger in this year but not sure. THe fake leather seats do not compare to the comfort of the leather seats i had previously. THe rear bumper design with the color coating is really dumb but a good way for the dealers to make extra money when you turn in the car. It scratches easily
Buyer beware

2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML320 BlueTEC 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 7A)

Do not buy this model. There are way too many issues with the bluetec system. I thought I was buying reliability when I bought a diesel. I was sadly mistaken. Avoid the ml320 bluetec at all costs. I’ve spent so much money in repairs. Including a check engine light that no one can find out what’s wrong with it. Prone to leaks. Interior is great and overall style of the suv is fairly modern even in today’s standards. But, it is just not worth the reliability. Let this car die everyone so that no one else needs to make the same mistake I did.

Best car I have ever owned

I bought my 2009 ML350 in 2011 used (traded in from a lease) from a Range Rover dealership. I had never even thought of buying a Mercedes SUV, but it just called my name on the used car lot while my son-in-law was buying a new Range Rover. Hands down it is the best car I have ever owned! I have always traded in my cars after 2 years, but not this one! I want to drive it forever!
