    i live in London so there are may speed bumps pot holes and this Mercedes Benz M Class ML 270 CDi does not take them well for a road car extremely
    uncomfortable especially over speed bumps pick up little holes and the car shakes the people in the back seats feel it the people right in the back fell it the most (but as a offroad car fantastic in the coiuntryside)

    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. Engi ...

    Mercedes Benz M Class ML 270 CDi diesel - worst merc I have ever driven - loses power uphill for no reason, and goes into limp mode with emergency transmission - then must be switched off, left for 1 minute, and then started again - then works fine for a while - have tried everything - changed the air mass sensor, the turbo pressure sensor, rpm sensor - no joy.

    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 ...

    I have owned my Mercedes M Class for 1 and a half years (35 000kms) and so far has been reliable.Despite the bad rumors of these cars I have found it to be a very nice car to drive and very practical for what I use it for. Nice car to drive.Very good long distance cruiser.Reasonable economy for a permanent 4x4 (11-12l/100km).Good build quality.Loads of space.

    I find it is just massively expensive to maintain.Since owning it have had to replace the following:turbo - 100 000kms (expensive)brake ...

    Its roomy, got the 7 seater lux pack, evertything works and I can get 7 adults in without a problem. 30MPG not bad for a SUV! Also insurance was not bad cheaper than my Golf GTI!
    I would but another one if had a chance!

    Overall and great car - definitly NOT a "Truck". Feels competent both on the open road and deep in sand/mud. The new model seems to have compromised the off road capability and luggage space with lower ride and small boot.

    Out of the rest of ML class (98-05 models)the Mercedes ML 270 cdi would be the best choice for economy and to run, but does have the power there when you need it especially when the turbo kicks in, opt for the lux packs with the 7 seats and tiptronic, in general theses cars are not that bad as they say with certain reviews over the years they are still a brilliant luxury suv compared to other 4x4s on the market as these had the technology way before these new 4x4s are hitting the market, you ca ...

    I'd recommend to anyone. I love my car. Easy to drive, easy to park. It has been nothing but reliable and with 60,000 miles on the clock, it has only been in a garage for its service and normal wear and tear.

    Overall, The Mercedes M270 is comfortable, suitable for families with outdoor needs ie. enough boot space etc. Luggage space for taking relatives etc. to airports.

    I have just been in major crash with this vehicle, jeep total write-off, but I walked away with only whip lash. I totally recommend this vehicle for safety. Just bought another Mercedes ML 270 CDi.
    I would recommended this Merc to anyone who wants reliability space and comfort.

    Quality Control must be sporadic at best. Other owners love this vehicle, but I do not know why. Looks great, but this was a true disappointment. Chrysler should have sold off Daimler-Benz!

    The Mercedes M Class is the worst 4wd I have ever owned. I would love to get rid of it but it has a very poor resale value.

    My Mercedes Benz M Class ML270CDi is now 5 years old, 82000 miles. I had a New set of Tyres around 50000, 3 services from new.
    It has been without doubt the best vehicle I have ever owned.
    It still looks good & runs well.

    I have owned my Mercedes Benz M Class ML for 9 months. During this time it has been nothing other than totally reliable and a real joy to own. I towed a large caravan with it across France and Spain and it did so effortlessly. All of the luxury accessories have performed superbly making this car a real treat.

    After the first month, I took it back to the garage as I could not stand the thing anymore, after a lot of pressure by me a replacement was offered but because of the amount of money I had already spent on the car for RFL, side bars, mudflaps, personal plate transfer, starshield warranty, I would have had to spend another £1K again on RFL, plate transfer/ handsfree install, so I foolishly decided to stick with it. A month after, I could not take it anymore and it had to go. The next 3 mo ...
