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.

My benz is great - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By jaason - June 4 - 5:36 pmThe 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 pmThis 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 amThis 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.

ML 350 Meet Expectation - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By MBFan - July 25 - 8:33 amPurchased new Special Edition 2005. Vehicle still looks great and drives very well after 5 years. Plan to keep it another 5 years. No major problems. Needed new tires after 20K miles. Dont kid yourself MB still sets the standards. Dont have to worry about safety for wife and children. Unfortunately for other brands we will continue to buy MB, next one in 2014.

Comfort and Performance - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By Luxury and Practical - February 8 - 5:56 pmThis vehicle has taken its hit on fuel economy but I didnt buy this Mercedes Benz ML 350 (special edition) for this purpose. Its the best all around SUV that I test drove including the BMW SUV 5.0 which I liked but which was overpriced. The special edition includes 17 inch wheels which add to the comfort of the ride. Ive owned a Cadillac Escalade and had test drven all the comparable SUVs prior to buying and concluded that this luxury SUV had it all. The ride is comfortable when you drive this SUV unlike other SUVs which drive like a truck.
