    Mercedes or nothing. I had a facelift W164 model 2009 3.5 model. Absolutely bulletproof. Way better than any other suv out there. Now I have 2012 W166 ML and that also is a bulletproof 💪🏼

      Yes, no massive screens, interior disco lighting and it's classically subtle outside

    Very interesting video on what is a very unique car! You'd have to be a true enthusiast to buy something like this. Saw a Brabus ML63 recently which I didn't even realise existed.

    Fun fact: This is the only SUV Mercedes fitted the iconic M156 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 engine

      Because the R class had a SIMILAR interior, it is still luxurious and comfortable and besides it's just your opinion.

      @MadDogSurvival 17 днів тому

      Surprisingly enough I have no major issues with mine, although I’ve had proper Mercedes services and maintenance, the only issue I’ve had was a intermittent suspension fault which was caused by a faulty censor

      @@biafo4541 Because of the fact that you stated....these kinds of vehicles, especially after a few years, should be ridiculed and shamed for being what they are : unreliable and low build quality vehicles that were always too expensive and are made to screw people over buying them.

      I think you don't know anything about the ml series at least the w164 I had the ml350 it was a 2009 bought it with 125.000 km in 2016 and sold it last year with 400.000km driving it everyday in Athens where traffic is awful and I didn't experience any severe problem
