Hey guys,
I've never owned a MB before, but just drove the ML 63AMG and was very impressed. We need a new car. My wife wants another SUV, but I want something somewhat fun to drive when we take the "family car" out.

Anything I should worry about?

Thanks and appreciate any comments

 

Very good car. Fast and the price is ok. We have a X5 too, but we don`t like the new one so we must search an other SUV too. We have 3 Benz and are all ok. No Problems and freinds who has the new ML say it is a very god car. A good alternative is the new CTT.

Faster than new Cayenne Turbo. More economical. But the looks isn't all that to me.

 

The ML63 is a great choice. It doesn't get great mileage but that's about the only downside. I'd choose it over other performance SUV's from Porsche & Range Rover.

 

We have one, loads of fun. Not happy with the rear screens in the seats...looks a little 'afterthought' but the kid loves it of course.

Mileage is terrible as noted but that goes with the territory. Gobbles up a lot of junk in the back surprisingly.

Fine for a family with one kid, bit tight for two kids and a dog if you know what I mean if your taking a trip.

 

The ML 63 is perfect for your situation. I Love my car

 

seems like a great buy, id take it

 

although read this lol
"Too fast for wife!", thats their reason for selling lol

ive driven the ML
its MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the previous generation...
if however, i had to choose between that and the new Cayenne Turbo, it would be the porsche hands down....

the porsche , in my opinion feels faster, is more stable, i think its built much better, and i think the new headlight design is sexy

also, im not exactly thrilled that the ML is made in alabama

 

WELL 0-120 MPH MML63 is much much faster like 2 seconds or so.

 

have you driven the ML63 ?
have you driven the Cayenne TT ?

or are you telling me something you read

in that case, have you read how the s 65 makes 738lb of torque ?
but yet, in real world situations, a bentley flying spur beats it from 0 to 60 ?
i just came back from spending a few days on a bently certification course. i got to drive the spur and the s65... its not even a fair comparision... maybe ill take my imaginary sister's jetta and run it agains the s65

also, would you rather be going 120mph and taking a turn in an ml, or a cayenne ?

 

I driven both and from what i felt ML63 was lil faster then cayenne TT, Cayenne was alot smoother tho ( it wasnt the facelifted one tho), Also there's a writeup on Mbworld where the guy compared both on the track for EVO magazine, and they were pretty much even on the track. I think they are both great trucks, but ML63 is slightly quicker with better pedal response due to the cayenne turbo lag. I like them both.

here's a video from a lap in ML63

Who would be taking a turn at 120mph in any SUV anyway?
Especially when the OP has a 996TT also, so it wouldn't be seeing a track.

Go with the ML, Todd. It's an awesome SUV.

 

I think you need to go and buy a 360 spider

 

Whats crazy is the ML63 will keep up with the 360 Spider
