i ouwned several sub cars over the years but so far,my new Ml350 4matic Mercedez Benz 2013 is the best of all.It drive very smooth,very quite and steady even at high speed driving.Smothness of gearshif operation.I like the modern tecknology that came with it no need to use key to start,the Harman Kardun surround sound is amazing,the HD radio sounds terrific,and all the electronic controls are just great.The navigation syatem and back-up camera,blind spot assist are great witch save me from minor accident.

Poor navigation system in ML2013

I bought ML350 with Navigation system. My wife drives it. I spent some time to get familiar with its navigation system. It looks like the Navigation system is poorly designed, no touch screen and typing in address takes a long time, sucks ! (compared with 2005 Toyota Camry V6 XLE's navigation, Google's navigation, and my portable one, 2013 ML350 is the worst). Sure, it gots voice command control, but it is not as easy as inputing addresses, which is what I expected about vioce control.

I've been dealing with my friends ML350 Bluetec.(Single mom of 4 children) I feel obligated to inform anyone who's interested in buying one of these pieces of junk to spend the money on psychiatric visits to help you lose these perverted thoughts of owning one of these..I cant speak for any other MB model but this one, its the only one I've had the unfortunate experience to be involved with. These engines are junk, you'll get 80-90.000 of wonderful miles before the heartache starts, then unless you are a wallstreet banker you wont be able to afford this engine.The emissions controls will absolutely break you. Most of the time the MB dealer will suggest a new engine because they know its a losing battle to try to keep repairing these things to keep them on the road. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SUPERIOR ENGINEERING BS! I'll sum it up simply, look in the owners manual for their oil specifications on this engine. ITS NOT EVEN RECOMMENDED FOR DIESEL ENGINES! it was chosen solely for the purpose of increasing fuel mileage, which in theory it will do.The whole time you are using this oil it is clogging up the inside of the engine with CATASTROPHIC effects! Its the beginning of the end from the day that vehicle rolls out of the showroom. I could go on and on with technical information that would blow your mind. I thought I'd limit the mechanic speak to something everyone could understand..... oil changes. There's so much more wrong with the engineering on these diesel engines, we simply don't have the time nor space to list them all. BUY ONE OF THESE SUVs AT YOUR OWN PERIL, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. If by chance you unwittingly bought one of these (as my friend did) and its not reached the mileage the trouble begins at 80-90,000 miles. Sell it trade it get rid off it even if you have to take a substantial loss on it.Don't think yours will be the exception, you're only kidding yourself. BTW this survey had the lowest limit of one star, this car deserves ZERO stars!!

I purchased this ML 350 new in August 2012...could hardly wait to get it on the road.....took 3000 mile trip in October and vehicle performed flawlessly......no problems.....then took another 3000 mile road trip in March 2013.....wife and I were almost involved in major accident due to the "map-functioning" of the pre-safe system.....we were in high speed traffic surrounded by about 20 cars....all going in excess of 70 mph.....we were in the middle lane and a car in the lane closest to the side of the road swerved generating the need for an emergency avoidance maneuver on my part.....I stepped on the brakes , which disengaged the cruise control and also swerved to miss the other vehicle this

I have had the bluetec ML for about 4 months now. I have logged in about 9000 miles. No problems yet. Ride is excellent especially on highway. I am averaging about 25 mpg on mixed driving.
