FAST AND SAFE

To small to be a proper SUV

Good Fast And Reliable — This car has a good V8 engine and all assesories you could wish in a car. Electrical seats, GPS,Ovenership is very cheap in Dubai ++++++Fuel are also very cheap, I use 130 Norwegian kroner to fill the tank from empty to full he he thats a laugh compared to Norway

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

Classy Vehicle, Best Looking Small Suv On The Road. — Powerfull V8, I luv accelerating from a light, sounds powerful too. Brakes squeal alot, tight, no rattles, great looker inside and out. Seats are good for long trips, I expected lousy gas mileage, but get 20-24 pmg on the highway, and am happy with that. I am extremely happy with the vehicle, I have put 15000 miles on it in the last 3 months.

Rated the fastest SUV

Cons

Stock radio's most used buttons are too far from the driver.

German Engineering = Good. German User Interaction Design = Bad. — Because it is an AMG, it comes with all the bells and whistles; wide body, white-face guages, all leather interior, black bird's eye maple trims, ABS, and 5 speed automatic. Plus, the 5.5 litre V8 light alloy engine gives it the power it needs that separates the ML55s from the lower end MLs. My only complaint is its stock radio/navigation that will make you roam around a city block before it gives you the correct direction.

Love It — I love everything about this car, and reccomend it to anyone. Exactly what one would expect from a Mercedes, comfort, style and great handling. The repair costs are no where near what I was warned they would be! SO happy I purchased this car!

Perfect — Car is awesome, Performance is great, drives like a truck with the stability of small car. Quality is the greatest and its german engineering at its best. Appearance is very elegant and with lots of personality. The cost is worth it's value.

300+ HP V8 and super solid

Cons

Oversteer

35

My Ml500 — A little too much oversteer for a AWD - feels like rear wheel drive. I love its 300 plus horsepower as it really gets up and goes - with a roar! The build quality is superior as it has over 100,000 miles and not one squeak. It's as quiet as a tank inside (when the tank's turbine engine is off of couse).
