Overview & Reviews

The ML430 is replaced by the ML500, which has a 5.0-liter V8 packing 288 horsepower. Over 1,100 parts of the truck have been modified, but the ML's exterior remains largely the same. New bumpers, clear-lens headlights and revised side mirrors are the most noticeable exterior changes. Inside, the center console sports a new look, and wood grain trim becomes standard on all models. A new automatic climate control system is now standard, and rear-seat passengers get dual cupholders and separate ventilation controls.

• Safe, comfortable, car-like ride and handling, surefooted in bad weather.

• Reputation for poor build quality, looks like a minivan from some angles, confounding COMAND navigation system.

  ML500 - Excellent buy - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Alistair Corbett - June 1 - 2:53 pm

  Bought used with 25,000 km. Great deal, had depreciated a lot and bought it through a broker - Royalty Auto for $42k CDN. Great experience. Had it for 6 months now. Needed winter tires (were in Calgary) and it handles well in the snow. No maintenance issues so far. I am not using a dealer for the maintenance, prices much better. We have 2 large dogs and a new house and have hauled lots of stuff with no problems. The versatility of the rear seats is excellent. The 5litre engine has plenty of power and a good roar, but gas use isnt as terrible as Id expected. Had it inspected by 3rd party before I bought. Brakes squeak when cold

  Outdated Dinasoar - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Thomas Smith - May 4 - 10:00 am

  Bought the M because it was cheaper than the X5. After two months, it already feels old and cant wait to trade it in next year for the Cadillac. Bad investmen

  My second ML320 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Wayne Post - April 22 - 2:00 am

  My first 1999 ML320 was a plain Jane model. It was unbreakable and the dealer support was much better than I expected. Although I bought it used, and from out of the area, the local dealers always exceeded my expectations. I liked the 99 but the 02 is dramatically improved. Every feature works better and I treated myself to all the amenities. I dispute the claims that the ML series is flawed and poorly assembled. Everything worked, always, and I used it hard.

  Poor quality ML 320 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Big R - March 28 - 10:00 am

  My ML320 has the poorest quality of any car Ive ever owned. Many, many things have broken, the interior pieces keep falling apart, the heater/aircon is always too hot or cold, the rear window sometimes goes down on its own (also happens on a friends ML320). When the warranty expires Ill need a second mortgage.

  By gip - March 22 - 10:00 am

  i cannot imagine a Mercedes can be so usless, it is comfortable but, yeah these things flip over. I mean my 89 mercury sable station wagon runs better. If the car came with a recipt I wouldnt have it tommorrow.

  This is my third M-class - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By MAtthew Erickson - January 16 - 10:00 am

  I am aware that other consumers have had diffuculties in the past regarding the M-class however I bought a 98, 320 when it came out, a 99 430 when it came out and a 02 500 as soon as it came out. I have been extremely happy with it and I love to see the look of disbelief on the faces of the Mustang GT drivers when off the line and to 60mph or more they are only a distant memory in my rearview mirror. I couldnt justify the added expense of the ML55, the 500 provides all of the power, and more, than I will ever need.
