Overview & Reviews

All M-Class models get an interior facelift available in one of three new colors, optional third-row seating and a Touch Shift automanual transmission. ML320 buyers get body-color bumpers and trim, real walnut inside, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob, revised interior fabric, seatback map pockets and footwell lamps. In addition to these items, a standard navigation system, high-grade leather, and heated seats come on all ML430s.

• Lots of interior space, quite comfortable, carlike ride and handling, excellent snow vehicle.

• Poor reputation of build quality, looks like a minivan, not particularly adept off-road.

  solid, safe - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Tarrant - November 6 - 2:00 am

  Safe and solid. Would purchase it again. After three years, the ML320 has been great. No problems whatsoever. Mercedes has proactively replaced some items under warranty during regularly scheduled maintenance visits. *Great* service in Texas; crappy service from HBL in Vienna, Virginia.

  SHOCKED!!!!!!!! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By APM - November 1 - 10:00 am

  I cant believe the reviews on this SUV. Have driven the RX300 LEXUS and the MDX from Acura, the ML320 has them beat. First, it is just plain fun to drive. Then again the simple ergonomics and quality in the leather is amazing. Very quite and I am shocked at the many people I talked to who said this is a "trucky" feel to the SUV.For someone else in my category i.e. Third a must, quality in the ride, great sound system. Try a ML320.

  Gotta luv it - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By gman - September 30 - 2:00 am

  We got a great deal on this ML430 with 6 months and only 6000 miles on the clock and a 100K Starmark. Better deal than any new purchase. Yes, weve had to endure the stupid small fixes: drivers window stuck down, back passenger door sticking, left side of drivers seat broke. BUT, this is one heck of a drive and we love it on our 400 mile trips to Jay Peak. We had Pathfinders before, which we thought were comfortable, but this ML430 gets us there in such a refreshed state (and with style) that we now realize how mcuh of our energy went into driving the Pathfinders.

  No regrets! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By palm coast - August 14 - 8:43 pm

  After 7 years owning this Benz, I considered buying another car, but have doubts that anything could be as reliable, good looking and fun to drive as this one. If and when the day comes that I do buy another car, Im sure it will be a Mercedes SUV.

  Awesome SUV - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By KKawz - May 9 - 10:00 am

  It seems strange to me that alot of these reviews are so negative about the M-Class. Other than a few minor problems (mainly switches and dashboard lights) my ML430 has performed admirably. It has impressive power and acceleration for its heft; the best qualities come out in high-speed driving. It feels very solid, and has that Mercedes vault-like feel. Also, it has cool styling that doesnt sacrifice function. Very luxurious and comfortable, yet doesnt have a real boaty ride like on some other SUVs.

  ML430 - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By joe - May 7 - 2:33 am

  Bought as a certified vehicle with 25K miles. Now has almost 100K and has been a pleasure. By far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Still as solid and smooth as the day I bought it.

  Great SUV for MB Enthusiasts - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By RL_Terry - September 26 - 3:43 pm

  Ever since I saw Jurassic Park II: The Lost World, I have wanted the Mercedes ML. I think the gas mileage is superior to that of other similar sized SUVs. Out of all the SUVs I have owned (Blazer, Explorer, and Envoy), the ML320 by far has the best gas mileage. I average 19-20mpg in town and 27-58mpg on the interstate. If you own an SUV, do not compare the gas mileage to that of a sedan or coupe- obviously the fuel economy will not be as efficient. The spartan interior is a very simple yet elegant design; however, I do find the CD change in the rear a bit on the inconvenient side. Its stylish, comfortable, and a Mercedes; what more could a 24 year-old want. I would reccommend this SUV.
