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.

  The original bench mark SUV - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Dave L - May 14 - 2:00 am

  The ML is still one of the best SUV values and was the bench mark for the current crossover SUV. I think anybody looking for a true SUV will not be dissapointed...

  A Pair of Winners - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By derleute - November 14 - 10:00 am

  Ive had 2 ML320s, a leased 1999 and a purchased 2002. In 4 combined years of ownership I/ve had absolutely no problems nor any need for warranty work with either one. They keep getting better by including more standard features every year. The emergency notification system and navigation systems are terrific and Bose sound spectacular. My only minor gripe ist the 6 CD changer belongs in the dash, not in the cargo walls. Thumbs up for American craftsmanship.

  Great truck!!! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By garyroseyu - October 18 - 2:00 am

  I was seriously deciding bewtween a MDX and the ML320. I test drove both and the MDX has great acceleration and it drove like a car. While the ML drove like a truck and lacked the pep off the line. So, why did I buy the ML? Its simply because I wanted to turn heads with a Mercedes. At first I was not sure whether I made the smart choice. However after 2 months I have fallen in love with it. The ML is well designed. One word says it all "SOLID". I have never felt safer in a vehicle. The interior and exterior is absolutely beautiful. Unlike the MDX, as soon as you sit inside the ML luxury immediately comes to mind. I would highly recommend the ML320.

  99 vs 2003 - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By OBIE - September 26 - 10:00 am

  We traded in a 1999 ML 320. We did have some problems with it. Fuel pump, Power Steering hose and Transponder. We really like this one much better.

  The ML320 is Dead - Long Live the ML350! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By scottg - August 31 - 2:00 am

  The ML320 is dead -- replaced by the much-improved ML350. I bought the Inspiration Edition and have been very pleased. The upgraded interior has sport seats and better leather, both lifted from the ML55 AMG, and wheels and tires from the ML500, which make it handle much better on dry roads than the old M-Class. The new 3.7 liter engine of the ML350 has enough new power and torque to give the M-class new vitality. It also has terrific second-row seats that fold perfectly flat to the height of the load deck. I am very impressed with the quality of the new M-Class Inspiration Edition. It finally drives and feels like a "German-made" Mercedes-Benz.

  2003 ML350 Limited Edition "Inspiration" - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By garyroseyu - July 14 - 10:00 am

  I 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.

  164K miles runs like new - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Joey - April 22 - 6:40 pm

  I 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.
