Overview & Reviews
The M-Class' navigation system enters the 21st century by ditching the old CD-ROM-based design for a much more efficient DVD-based setup. This is the lone change as the MLs received numerous updates last year.
- Safe, comfortable, brisk performance, surefooted in bad weather.
- On-road handling eclipsed by newer crossover SUVs, gets pricey fast if buyer gets tempted by too many options.

2003 ML350 Limited Edition "Inspiration" - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By garyroseyu - July 14 - 10:00 amI previously wrote a glowing review for the 2003 ML320 that I purchased Sept of 2002. Well, just when I thought it couldnt get any better, MB delivers! The "Inspiration" package is a must. What an incredible value for all those upgrades (ML55 grill, ML500 rims, AMG seats w/ Athracite Leather, Chrome Instrument Panel Rings, etc.) I noticable increase in power. The AMG seats are great with add lumbar support and full bolsters. The interior is much more sportier. This is the right choice if you are looking for class and luxury.

Get out while you still can - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By yogamama - May 20 - 10:00 amThe M-class is a disaster. My car arbitrarily stalls since the day I rolled it off the lot. Unfortunately, the only time it does this is when Im entering a busy road and need pick-up. Repeated trips to the dealership revealed nothing...except a waiting room of other angry M-class owners experiencing the same problem. Computers been updated three times. My friends with C class cars are having similar problems. My guess is that Mercedes tried to make a lower priced vehicle for the "masses," and unfortunately, sacrificed quality. There are many SUVs out there for the same price-without the kinks.

164K miles runs like new - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By Joey - April 22 - 6:40 pmI have maintained this ML 500 at the dealership since purchase. WOW, the only issue has been brake jobs every 25K miles, a new battery at 100K and of curse oil changes 5k. I take care of it and it has NEVER let me down. My favorite car/SUV ever! maybe, I am lucky but this ML 500 has been bullet proof.

Outstanding ML500 - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By Patrick - March 9 - 6:06 pmBy far the very best SUV I have ever owned. After over 70,000 miles it still runs like a dream. No mechanical or electrical problems. A definite keeper!

A Very Strong Capable Vehicle - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By Tough on Cars - March 8 - 2:00 amThe ML500 is a rock solid SUV. It is fast as hell and can hold up well against very bad roads. I was very impressed by the traction in the snow and rain. I was driving more cautiously than I should have. The SUV is built extremely well, I feel safe and secure in this care. It is very fun to drive and a head turner.

Best Car I ever owned - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By Jerzy J - March 8 - 2:00 amI am extremely satisfied with the Vehicle overall. I am confident the reputation of a German Engine / Transmission will prevail. Provides the Chrysler comforts. No compaints none so ever I have on comforts. Their safety features are unmatched. Miles per Gallon can be better.

Consumer - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By Merc - January 13 - 10:00 amNot up to par on features vis-a-vis competitors in same price range. Significantly improved quality since intro in 98 Already see condensation in left headlight assembly. Will have to get replaced. Not something I would expect in a $50,000 vehicle. Had I not gotten a terrific deal. I would have gone to competition but they are all selling at MSRP or above. (Volvo, Toureg, Cadillac, Lexus) Ridiculous.
