What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class generally appreciate its solid build, performance, and off-road capabilities, but many express concerns about reliability, particularly with electrical issues. Drivers favored its luxurious features such as the sound system and interior comfort. However, they disliked the high maintenance costs and poor fuel economy, especially due to its all-wheel-drive system."
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.
April 17, 2012The best family SUV/t Truck, its built like no other, incredible off road and solid on road, my 2001 ML 320 has being extremely reliable
September 28, 2023Great 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.

March 6, 2011I 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.
April 14, 2013this 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.
August 26, 2008Fun midsize SUV. Handles great and has plenty of get up and go. Third row seating is good for small people, lacks leg room. We spend a lot of time up in the snow and it performs great! Great solid & safe car for family.
April 7, 2014It has performed well for the past 70,00 miles
March 19, 2008Gorgeous 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.
January 11, 2008Electrical is an ongoing problem. Granted it's 13 years old but less than 100k miles. Seems like some sensor or solenoid goes out every 2-3 months. Still has decent acceleration. Good but not great cargo space. Bad mileage like most SUVs.
June 11, 2014Overall, it is a good strong vehicle, I fell very safe in it and it has plenty of power. You can't win all worlds so it is expansive to maintain but other then that just a fun vehicle to drive.
