Good Points

Comfortable, quiet, fast, good torque levels, pretty good off-road due to 4ETS, efficient good size


Bad Points

MB servicing not rated al all! Do it yourself as it is very straight forward (except oil drain in a silly position).
Interior trim quality a bit poor - not strong! Especially central switch cluster, central panel and seat levers.
Don't like the design move away from single stalk to dual stalk control on steering wheel.


General Comments

A truly great carthe Mercedes 270. This is definitely NOT a "truck" as some might call it as it handles and performs extremely well. I have a 2000 model and live in Zambia. The ML has been brilliant and serves very well as a daily drive (as drives like a car and not a lumbering 4x4) and great long distance cruiser having done numerous 7 - 24hour non-stop journeys in it. It is just big enough to fit three child seats but not so huge that it would be difficult to park. It is also very capable off-road (albeit a bit low on clearance over some of the more extreme terrain). Servicing is very reasonable if done by yourself as is VERY easy to do. All the filters are a breeze to change as are mounted on top of the engine and not really special tools required. We have found MB service in UK and in Zambia to be VERY expensive and rather lacking in quality - NOT value for money there!
