drives great gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive

Cons

repairs are a little pricey, though infrequent

Best Suv In Its Class — this car is the most solidly built car i hav ever driven. the gas mileage is averaging over 26 mpg. it accelerates and brakes great. it handles great especially on ice. the esp makes it so you can turn without slipping much even on theslickest of ice. the one con is when it needs repairs, they are usually expensive.

Good power delivery, smooth ride, high riding position.

Cons

High body roll, bad brakes, seats lack support.

An Suv That Would Out Accelerate Your Golf Gti From 0-90km/h — The car's acceleration is very good from 10km/h until approximately 95km/h. The brakes are weak and fade very quickly. The car handles ok, but there is too much body roll in corners. The build quality is mediocre, the dashboard need frequent repairs: radio, airco. The exterior design was acceptable in 2001 but is now outdated. Especially the grey bumpers which fail to match the color of the car are an absolute turn off. The car is quite economic, and comfortable and quiet for long highway drives.

its too fast

Nice — Performance-big car but great acceleration. very fast and stable in the right hands. good breaking distance. the doors sometimes act funny its nothing major. the car has good looks in and out but the leather seats feel slippery. it is good on gas if you are not constantly accelerating to 100km/h in 5-6secs in city driving. service is done at the cost of a leg and a kidney. overall, all at some point must get a chance to drive a car like this or better.

Not The Best Buy — Gorgeous looks and amazing sound system, but the build quality is not up to par, the handling is atrocious, fuel consumption is through the roof, and Mercedes thought they could hide behind the badge. It didnt work. Not a good all round car.

Pros

Car Looks much ahead of its time. Very comfortable and smooth ride. Handling feels sporty.

Cons

The gas mileage is low but that has to be the only flaw.

Fast, Reliable, And Enjoyable Suv — I like the front look of the car. Also the sound system is very nice. The performance is amazing and feels very fast. Feels high up and in control. This was a weekend car. Should last forever. Amg made it very nice.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Powerful, Spacious, Reliable, Pleasure To Drive — I am an original owner, and even thought there were a few issues with it in the first five years of ownership, it was all fixed under warranty, and it's been a great commute and family car. We purchased another, smaller SUV, and kept this one as a third car, but we are not using it at all now, so we decided to let it go. It is a terrific car.

Cons

small engine

German Cars All The Way — the acceleration is not all that great it is a big car with only a V6. the breaks work well but u have to get used to them, it also handles well and makes easy turns. it has not needed any major repairs just annual maintenance, no squeaks or rattles. i like the look of the interior...i would prefer to have another color that is darker on the outside. gas is somewhat expensive...i drive to school 4 days a week and to other places as well ans fill up every 1.5-2 weeks. the car has its moments of fun

Next Car Will Be Another Ml — Great performance and reliable. Handles well in any weather. Extreme stability and always feel safe and comfortable while driving. Exterior has great body styling. The best midsized SUV I've driven. Only discomfort for me is where the cup holders are placed.

Overall Not Worth The Cost Of Maintenance And Poor Fuel Economy. — Good looking SUV that handles well and feels almost like a new car even after 8 years of avg mileage driving. Solid engine, however, overall a bad decision to buy: poor fuel economy and requires top grade fuel, endless problems from cheap plastic fittings that disintegrate and fall from the interior to costly repairs arising from faulty sensors, electronic and mechanical failures. Costs thousands per year to maintain through dealership.
