This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Safe, comfortable, brisk performance, surefooted in bad weather.
Cons:
  • On-road handling eclipsed by newer crossover SUVs, gets pricey fast if buyer gets tempted by too many options.

    solid, fast and reliable...

  • ML 350 - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
    By -

    This is a very well crafted vehicle with many added safety features that many other SUVs do not enjoy. A more powerful engine than its predecessor ML320. I do have to say that it is time for a new body style. I have owned my 2003 ML350 for 3 months now so not much else to comment. Everything is great.

  • Love the 2003 ML 350 - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
    By -

    Its a luxury SUV and very classy and easy to drive/maneuver. There are no blind spots, you have the option of obtaining a 3rd row, sports package, running boards, Bose sound system, tinted windows, and much more.

  • GREAT SUV - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class

    Best value, everything great about this SUV except gas consumption.

  • ML350 Inspiration - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
    By -

    This is a great vehicle - we owned a 2000 320ML and this is an improvement. The Inspiration edition is worth the extra bucks - we paid only $350 more for it and its great!

  • Excellent Ride - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
    By -

    As far as reliability, function, resale value, ability to city drive and overall comfort, I would not exchange my ML for any other SUV (except of course an ML 430).

  • ML500 I love this car - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
    By -

    I got my ML500 2 months ago (silver w/ Java interior) and the car is a blast. Best of all the punch of the 288hsp V8 will put a big grin on your face. Coming from a BMW 328, I can honestly say this SUV is truly a sporty utilitarian. Interior is splendid as far as confort. Some design improvement possible. Overall Mercedes Benz did a big effort in 2002 to correct/update most of the shortcomings of earlier versions just as soccer moms were rushing to the the X5s and Accura SUVs. This vehicle is hot!! again believe me. I already saw several black ML500 with Inspiration Edition and their big chrome grill in lots of cool places in NYC. No reliability issue to report so far.

  • MERCEDES IS STILL A MERCEDES - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class

    INCREDIBLE CAR . THE RIDE WAS SMOOTH , THE ENGINE IS PEPY, THE INSIDE IS VERY ERGONOMIC. I WOULD PREFER A MERCEDES VS A BMW X-5, BUT DO NOT FORGET I AM 44
