I never appreciated a MB until I started selling them. These vehicles are all about safety, I just leased my first ML320 2003 model last year.
This vehicle is a SUV that any woman can handle. It has 8 airbags, one in each door, head protection curtains and one in the dash as well as the steering wheel. It also has the Teleaid system. It takes a powerful lost of control in order for it to roll over. The braking system is second to none. Handles all road conditions.
Even though the ML’s are built in Alabama, they are built under German standards and with German parts. This is a structurally sound vehicle. And a wise investment.
