General Comments
Likes: Sound construction, the Mercedes Benz M Class ML 270 CDi drives well (better than other 4x4s) and has a real sense of security. Great for towing with the Auto box, a fully laden 1500kg caravan no problem at all off-road. Quality leather interior and good seven-seater accommodation. Good fuel economy; I reckon 26mpg towing and around 30mpg normal driving (to be honest I can't be bothered to measure it - not a big issue is it).
Dislikes: Body roll - must look at some upgraded springs. Engine better now remapped to 216bhp and 400+ nm torque, wasn't too responsive before (needed cranking up, then flew).
