    3 Stars 4 4 4 4 cough! 04/12/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Strudy and flash,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Terrible bumpy ride, unreliable and expensive to run

    This review is a year or two old but then so is the 270, replaced by the 320. I am not really a 4X4 fan as I see no use for them but when giving one to drive for nothing, like any car, it is a different story. Longer than my normal review but have added some key skimmer lines at the end to save you reading it all as long reviews are boring really. ML270 CDI This car was possibly the best 4x4 I have had the honour to drive right up until she became obsolete and replaced by my current car, the ML320 CDI. Never having really been a fan of the 4X4. Chelsea Taxi/Sloane Rangers Horse/Desperate ... more

    1 Star Do you want to drive a blamonge? 22/08/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Interior space

    Disadvantages Disadvantages everything else!

    Although I don't own one of these I do use one at work week in week out (52 plate) but only when they're aren't any other cars available to use. I've got to say it is one of the worst cars I have ever driven. Sure they don't look bad on the road and interior space isn't bad but apart from that I don't really have anything positive to say about it. Starting with the interior . . . . . The driving position is terrible in it and you can only alter the steering up and down not in and out. At six foot two I can't get the seat far enough back to able me to comfortably use the pedals either which is ... more

    5 Stars ML270CDi - What a family car 15/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Driving Position, Reliability, Comfort, Service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no, not really......

    I am on my 3rd ML270CDi, the latest being an '03 with every toy imaginable......they are a simply excellent drive. you have to bear in mind this is a "two ton truck" with a diesel engine, so rapid it is not - however - for a "two ton truck" it is surprisingly nippy and enjoyable to drive. If you make good use of the revs and hold gears, it will perform well. For fast standing starts I offer one tip, hold the brake hard, rev it hard to get the turbo at full pressure and the truck takes off with startling power.....Its only fault is that sometimes you want a quick start from lights or at a ... more

    5 Stars Mercedes ML270 cdi 7 seater (X reg 2000) automatic 10/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Safety, 7 seater option, spacious

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Fuel consumption, insurance problems, basic inside, costs

    We have had this car for 3 months, previously owning a Citroen Picasso, and purchased it because we needed the extra seats with the 7-seater option. We have three small children (all under 7) and, so far, I am in love with it. Yes, it is very thirsty on fuel and the servicing costs are somewhat of a shock, but it is worth it. There is not much leg room when all the 7 seats are used but the third row are more than OK for the kids or a small adult. And when the thirds row of seats are folded up the boot space is still really big. I am a little bit dissappointed about the luxuriousness of the ... more

    5 Stars The car of my dreams 22/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages leg room in rear seats

    I have always wanted this car (well for as long as I can remember) so, when the opportunity came along to buy one, there I was! I couldn't fault the Mercedes dealership, they were helpful and the service I recieved was second to none. The ML 270 cdi is a dream to drive, it handles well , rolls round corners and is surprisingly nippy for such a big heavy diesel car, one of the main issues for me having 4 children is safety, and with 8 air bags and numerous other safety features this car feels like a tank. Mercedes seem to have thought of everything, heated seats, mirrors and screens. Electric ... more

    4 Stars The go anywhere in the ML 270cdi 26/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A car you feel you can go anywhere in the ML 270cdi

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Brake pad and disk wear.

    Truly a car you feel you can go anywhere in the ML 270cdi great to drive and very comfortable even with 7 passengers in place. Very good in town and on Motorway. Beware petrol models are very very heavy on petrol. The ML is shorter than our E class Saloon and the E class Estate so Parktronic is a useful extra but not essential. The 270Cdi Diesel engine is surprisingly powerful with lots of torque and good economy similar to the mpg we get from our E200 auto 2ltr saloon. Very easy to drive in town we live in central London the higher seating position improves visibility dramatically in town and ... more

    5 Stars ML270 15/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 7 seats,economical and performance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not much

    I bought the car as I wanted a reliable, roomy and economical vehicle. The diesel engine is very smooth and has excellent performance when compared to the Land Rover Discovery TDi.I have opted for the family and lux packs which means that the car is a 7 seater with leather seats and numerous goodies. It is therefore as practical as an MPV without looking like a van. Build quality is excellent and it is an excellent motorway cruiser. The body work has a 30 year warranty and therefore the vehicle will be around for a long time! Excellent vehicle that can return 30 MPG! ... more

    5 Stars Mercedes ML 270cdi 17/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages High luxury with 5 star safety

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Car taxing penalty

    I have a Mercedes ML 270 cdi and I cant praise it enough. I have had a Range Rover and a Freelander in the past and deffinately will never change from Mercedes now. It is fabulous to drive, comfortable and even with only a 270 engine as opposed to the more powerful ones it pulls my horses fine. It gives the luxury of an upper class car but the security of a 4x4 with the reliability of German manufactoring. We have found a brilliant mercedes trained garage to service it and can honestly say that the running costs are half what it cost us when we owned the Land Rovers. It is Mercedes every time ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages comfortable, big, meets all our needs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none so far

    i have had to give up my xj6 sport as my disabled wife can no longer fold herself low enough to get in, so we needed something bigger than her zafira motability car. we have bought a 2003 ml 270 cdi 7 seater from an independent jaguar dealer in sussex wow!! a great looking car in dark blue, not a mark on it, lovely to drive, has only done 53K, full service history. our german shephard can climb in easily although she prefers the comfortable back seats to be next to mum. my wife, who normally thinks a car is a box to travel from one place to another has fallen in love with it, especially with a ... more

    5 Stars My Merc 270 CDi 04/01/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good space, Fuel economy, adaptability

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None found

    I have recently bought my Mercedes ML 270 Cdi. on a 52 plate after trawling the market place for a BMW X5. My missus spotted this machine and we havent looked back. The beast (I mean that in a loving term) has less than average miles, and is in metallic black, with chrome A Bar and Chrome sidesteps. STUNNING. And with all the Kudos of Merc and as many additions as an X5, i am more than happy with my purchase. It looks, drives and feels superb. I have a wife & 2 Kids, both in safety seats and 1 large german Shepherd doggy, and all are of the same opinion as me, this is one of the most ... more
