What Car? says
For This is a cheap way into a prestige 4x4 that's also good off-road
Against It's not great on-road, and the quality and reliability are well below par
Verdict
It may look attractive on paper, but it's not everything a Mercedes should be
Go for… ML270 CDi
Avoid… ML55 AMG
- 1. The biggest problems are with the suspension and brakes, but faulty seats have also been reported
- 2. If you can, go for a face-lifted model from a 51-plate onwards, as the cabin is much better
- 3. The M-Class has one of the most spacious cabins of any of its rivals, on a par with the BMW X5
- 4. Of all the engines, we reckon the 320CDi diesel is the best bet
- 5. Every model is well-equipped, but if you can find an SE model, it will come with leather upholstery
