Good Points: The good points of this vehicle are pretty obvious, power, power, power.
Bad Points: The low points are relatively few: (1) Poor gas mileage (offset by the 345 HP) (2) Luggage room
General comments: I bought my ML55 used a little over a year ago for $20K. It is a one owner and had 50K on it when I got it along with all service records. The things that everyone complains about (poor build quality causing rattles, etc) had been sorted out by the time I got it. For close to 70 large I have to agree that some of the interior pieces are pretty cheesy such as the flimsy glove box door, etc. For $20K it's the best vehicle I have ever seen. Power, traction, looks, comfort etc are all unbelievable. I would highly recommend one. There is nothing in the mid size SUV arena that comes close to the ML55. I sold my 91 Porsche 911 and my 2000 Durango and bought the Benz. It satisfies the sports car feel and can also run to Home Depot or pull an 18' ski boat with no problem. It also only takes up one garage space. The only drawback is the fuel "economy". The 5.5 liter AMG V8 is worth the price of admission for sure. It's actually close to what I got in my 318 Durango around town and a little better on the highway. I average around 14 MPG overall.

Now, I don't own one of these myself although one of my collegues does and I have often been privelidged to drive it with him. The Mercedes ML 55 is visually very impressive, with large alloys and an improved body kit. It combines sports appeal with that of a serious off-roader, which is pleasing. Inside the cabin is very well equipped, with most of the toys you would expect from a £50k+ machine. The engine sounds solid and throbby on start up and it drives very well, although the ride isn ...

I have had two x5 s then changed to a second hand Mercedes M Class ML55 AMG ,It absoloutly blows them away!. The first thing I had done to this vehicle was have it converted to lpg fuel, cost would not be cheep. It averages 12 mpg round town but on lpg its fine motorway mpg at 70 mph returns 20 so its like getting 40 mpg when using gas, but dont forget this has 350 bhp and it shifts. I have done track days and 140 + is no problem but then I have also been to off road events (I have a jeep wrang ...
