Mercedes ML350 personal review

I really Love my Mercedes Benz. It is such a reliable family car. It has many features that I frankly enjoy. Such as heated seating, lumbar support , keyless entry. Not to mention its luxurious interior. But my favorite feature would definitely have to be the spacious trunk and its self close/ lock button. I have yet to have a problem with my car. It has been a reliable car that I have taken on several road trips.

Pros from Owners

Angela H.

Very comfortable ride. Nice stereo and. Features low maintenance. Mid sized is a nice size for everyday use. Good gas mileage. And a big gas tank. It has auto locks on the car. And child locked windows for safety. Tire pressure is told on main driver side for safety.

Kailyn S.

Everything like the 4 wheel drive and the interior of the truck and the way it drives is good as well. It can go very far on a full tank of gas. The parts seem to hold up pretty well as well as well as well as well.

Cons from Owners

Angela H.

It is hard to find mechanics to work on the truck. Including regular maintenance like oil changes. Water pump went out and to have the Mercedes dealership was 3000.00. Repairs are very high. Battery is under the passenger seat.

Kailyn S.

There are really no cons of this vehicle but you have to constantly fill up gas and u got to use a special grade gas because the car is considered luxury. I really have no cons to mention.

Yes! It's a great vehicle. Big gas tank, luxury feel, rides smoothly, large cargo space. The technology features are really nice such as the backup camera, Bluetooth capabilities and park assist.

How Reliable Is The 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class?

It hasn't had any major problems. But it is a used vehicle so some things are expected to happen. Minor problems have occurred but nothing out of the ordinary that would be alarming.

Is The 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class A Good Value?

Mine was purchased at auction. Mercedes hold their value over time so whether you buy auction, private sale or dealer, go by the Kelly blue book value and condition and that will tell you the value.... Read More
