Surprising Diesel Performance

Bought vehicle off lease with 20,000 miles in 2017. What I find most pleasant is the quick response of the 4 cylinder diesel and the motor silence at 80 mph. How MB got such superb performance in a small diesel is astounding. The SUV is just perfect. Seats comfy, fit and finish excellent, materials high end, ride soft but firm on highway, turns effortlessly. I bought this SUV to tow a boat and for longer trips. The 4WD system makes taking boat out at the boat ramp easy and I get 20 mpg while towing a 3,000 pound boat at 68 mph. The 25 gallon fuel tank allows an 800 mile range at 70mph. I get 33 mpg at 70 mph and 31.3 mpg at 82 mph. MB has done a complete job with the ML250. Performance, 6,800 pound tow capacity, great fuel economy in a full size SUV.. Have had no issues. Will keep this real suv for many more years. Have owned ML 250 for 6 years. Enjoy the vehicle and plan to keep it 3-4 more years. This is a full size and rugged suv with a true suv frame. Paint still looks new. MB is built for safety and to last. I just cannot rave about this car enough. I think about a new SUV sometimes but nothing can equal the ML250 for safety, fuel economy, range, tow capability, ride comfort, reliability, and handling.

With only 139000 miles car began to have terrible problems. Problems that i had never heard of. The sensors in the engine failed and as a result motor oil leaked up the wire and into the computer. To repair they had to drop the engine and replace all the wires and the computer which i had to wait for them to get. Took a long long time and cost $9000 dollars. My other option would have been to junk the car. Was unsaleable if not repaired. After being repaired drove it for two weeks and started making a loud noise. Attempted to drive it back to dealership one mile away and konked out before i got to the end of my street. Had to have it towed. They Said it back fired in the engine and blrw up the intake manifold. In My experience cars backfire through the tail pipe and make a loud noise. Nothing more. Cost me another $1000 plus. At this point all i wanted to do was get rid of the car fearing an ongoing series of further problems. All they kept saying was “the car is 10 years old”. Still have a 2000 Honda Accord on the road! After spending over $10,000 had to trade it in for $7,000. Should have junked it instead! Do not ever purchase a Mercedes unless you have money to waste and want a series of headaches!

We decided to let go of our 2003 S500. I have been researching for the past 3 months. I had previously owned a 2007 RDX that I put 200k on. I found a 2014 ML350 with 15k at Naples Mercedes Benz. It had almost every option, including the 20" wheels. I found the ride, comfort, styling and safety features to be everything I was looking for. The absolute plus was my wife loving the ride and the way it gives her a commanding view. (she is taking the ML 350 and I know have to drive our CLS 550) Oh well... maybe the weekends for me. We haves now traded our CLS550 for an identical ML350.

132K miles on this car and it’s running great, remains comfortable and continues to get excellent fuel mileage for such a large car - love the diesel. Received payment for the emissions control work referenced in the previous review - sensors, etc…were replaced for DEF system. Ended up getting new Cat converter, new exhaust, etc as part of this…and all was covered under emissions warranty/emissions settlement.

200,00K and still as good as new

30 miles per gal on freeway at 70 mph. Long distance traveling is smooth and relaxing with very quiet and comfortable ride. Rear fold down seats makes it large enough for sleeping. Very capable four-wheel drive in snow. Wouldn’t necessarily take this off-roading though. 6 years and 200,000 miles and still drives and looks like the day I bought it.
