My dream car and would be hard to drive anything else.
It is very reliable with low maintenance. We live in an area that gets lots of snow and have never had any problems getting where we want to go. It is very comfortable and the features like heated seats make it luxurious. The dash is laid out to maximize driver comfort.

Mercedes ml series SUV. Great features and awesome feel of handling.
Vehicle drives very well. Inside is roomy and very comfortable. Controls are easy to use and sound system is awesome. Feel very safe in winter driving with anti-lock brakes and the type of tires. Love the color, shows really well. Size of the SUV is just perfect., not too small and not the size of the larger SUVs.

Very reliable and I love the wood grain look on the interior.
Very reliable vehicle. I have over 100 thousand miles on it and have only had to do routine maintenance to the vehicle. The car drives smooth. It has a nice size trunk. I would buy another as my next car. I am very satisfied and happy I went with this car.

Review of 2010 Mercedes Benz ML350.
The only issues are the tire air sensors in the winter. The sensor comes on frequently and you're always putting air in the tires. Smooth riding car with great shocks. When you drive, you barely realize your going fast because the ride is so smooth. Other than that, great car and very reliable.

Changing my Mercedes? Only for another one!
IT is a reliable vehicle, very comfortable, economic and with appropriate power. There is enough room for the family and luggage for short-range trips. It handles really. The sunroof works very well and the AC cools and heats up very quickly. The controls are in good positions and the panel has just the right information I need.

The incredible turning radius of my 2010 m class mercedes-benz!
My favorite feature of my vehicle is it is incredible turning radius. My next favorite feature is the reliability of the car. I also value the service that my car and I receive from the dealership from which I purchased my car. Overall I have been thoroughly pleased with the Mercedes experience and would highly recommend the dealership that I dealt with.

Great SUV and easy size for living in a city.
I love the Mercedes it is a nice drive and still looks nice after almost 10 years. It is expensive paying for premium fuel and it is also expensive to get an oil change but luckily I do that just about once a year. I have only had minor problems and it has been a safe car.

Constant electrical problems.
Constant electrical problems. Lights always going out, indicators always going out, brake lights too. Constantly fixing them and then one year later it is out again. I would not purchase this car again. I think I bought a dud because my family owns other Mercedes cars and they do not have problems like I do.

All around good car. Really do not have anything to highlight.
No problems really. Had a few issues with flat tires but I think that was because of the special rims.

Overall a really great car - highly recommend.
Very reliable car. I like it, but it is starting to get old. Repairs can be expensive. Drives well. I think there is a slight visibility problem due to positioning of the metal supports at the edges of the front windshield. The supports are too wide and require you to shift your head to be able to see - especially when turning.
