Overview & Reviews

Besides the addition of a Special Edition package that bundles together desirable features, the M-Class is unchanged. The complimentary scheduled maintenance program has been dropped for 2005.

• Strong range of engines, extensive array of safety features, comfortable for five, surefooted in bad weather.

• On-road handling surpassed by newer crossover SUVs, expensive for what you get.

  Beautiful SUV, great handling - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By ML 500 Special Ed - July 14 - 3:26 am

  This is my second ML, had the ML 320 2001 first and loved it as well. I just bought the ML 500 Special Ed and there are many improvements. My first one had some problems, but as 4 more years have passed I am hoping they have made additional improvements in reliability. There is nothing comparable out there as far as style and this time around I am finding that the car rides much quieter. The turn radius is excellent, making it very easy to park just about anywhere. I found other SUVs like the Lexus too big and bulky for what I was looking for. This SUV rides tight and handles really well! I love it! Is very luxurious inside!

  My benz is great - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class

  The ML500 special edition is great. It is very good with gas. It goes from 0-60 in about 4 to 5 seconds and there is alot of cargo space.

  Id Buy It Again - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By JA - March 5 - 4:20 pm

  This is my 1st Mercedes. I traded in a Toyota 4Runner for a 2005 Special Edition 350ML and driving has not been the same. Before, driving was just going from one location to another, and I could not wait to get out of the car. Now, I love being in my car and sitting in traffic no longer bothers me (to a point, of course). My Mercedes is like my home away from home. I love it and would recommend it to anyone. I would definitely buy it again if I had to do it all over. Perhaps Mercedes will have a hybrid SUV when it is time to buy my next vehicle.

  True SUV - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By maryland jay - December 21 - 10:00 am

  This is not one of those unibody car based SUV styled vehicles. It has power, refinement, and is ready to navigate the Snake River Canyon with its all time 4WD. Never had a repair. Its my 16th car. I love it.

  Very disappointed in Mercedes - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By DLB19 - October 11 - 10:00 am

  I have to echo many of the complaints already on this site. Weve owned ours for 1.5yrs., during which time weve spent slightly over 10k in repairs. If fact, its in the garage now. Repairs include; new transmission, brakes, wiring, and various other items. Short list of quality issues; wind noise above 50 mph is intolerable, brakes make all kinds of noise at low speed, head liner likes to fall off, paint on side molding also likes to fall off, and a never ending list of repairs, which are all very expensive.

  Horrible Car - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By BobbyBobby - September 26 - 10:00 am

  This car, was just a horrible design, the "SUV" was not as reliable as I thought it would be when I heard about it. This car is horrible, and I am planning to sell mine too.
