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.

  Its an acquired taste - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By MB&Caddy - November 25 - 8:00 pm

  Ive owned my ML500 for 5 months now. Coming from my 01 Seville STS, was a change of course. Overall I think the vehicle hits the mark. Not perfect, but what vehicle is. Gas mileage is decent, but this is my 2nd V8 in 5 yrs so Im used to the gas guzzling. Off the line snap is good enough to put you back in your seat. First trip was to Gatlinburg, TN and the MB was nothing but solid. Had to dial down the cruise in the mountains, it kept accelerating. Solid, comfortable, great view in traffic and a huge sunroof. Slips in and out of traffic and parking is a breeze, waiting for first real experience w/ bad weather. This thing shrugs off rain and wind like its nothing.

  ML 320 overall - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Jonnyboy - September 25 - 2:00 am

  I am extremely satisfied with the Vehicle overall. I am confident the reputation of a German Engine / Transmission will prevail. Provides the Chrysler comforts. No compaints none so ever I have on comforts. Their safety features are unmatched. Miles / Gallon are on par with other SUVs. Can be better. Did not provide a MP3 Playback in the Extremely good audio system. Navigation technology was CD based in 2002, but are now DVD based and compatible with the 2002 MLs. I find the 3rd row seat very useful. Small but good for kids.

  great suv for a great price - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By shariar - September 20 - 10:00 am

  This is one great suv. It is very comortable and beautiful inside and out. I opted for the inspiration edition which gives you alot of options for a great value. I highly recommend the car to people who want a comfortable car but still want to arrive to the local country club with style.

  Not what I expected - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By randallc - August 13 - 2:00 am

  As a previous owner of a 1995 S class, I was expecting more from a Mercedes. The M class is in a much lesser league than my old Mercedes. It does not exude quality and opulence. It is "plasticy." It feels like a car for the masses. It lacks the solid, stoic, German, big, heavy feel that I was looking for. Instead, it is what I would have expected from a mid-priced line.

  ML 500 slightly disappointing - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By hairydog - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Excellent vehicle overall, however a number of minor defects take away from the overall positive impression we have. Defects include: window trim that is fading extremely quickly/unevenly; rear windows which watermark w/o remediation possible; climate control fan system which randomly sends air to areas of its own choosing (noisy as well). Dealer resists repairing despite informing me these are "common problems" on ML 500s.

  ML 350 - Our newest family member - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Pete Bashara - August 3 - 10:00 am

  The inspiration package is a must for the dollars -- really wish I would have sprung for the bi-xeon lights! The P38 package inspiration is true automotive value in the upper-end car market. Having driven a 2003 ML-320 for 1 week, I couldnt be happier with the 350! And talk about safety, the Greater Omaha Safety Commission baby seat installer couldnt believe the fit and the option of belt retractors not just in all 3 locations of the back seats but also for the 3rd row seat seats as well!

  MB SUV - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Izzo - May 14 - 10:00 am

  Got the 350 with Inspiration package and worth the extra buck. Much more luxurious than previous 320 model. Excellent leather, wood panel, fatter tires and silver grille. Handling and performance very predictable.
