If you had the choice of driving either an 2003 ML 500 or a 2003 Range Rover 4.4 for a long weekend, which would you choose and why?

Range Rover....

I can't think of anything that the ML does that the Range-Rover doesn't do better....

Too bad over here the Range Rovers are played out already, all you see is Cayenne's and Tuaregs.....

The interior of the Range Rover is absolutely incredible. Range Rover hands down. Now if it was an ML 55, then I would be stumpted

Take the ML . The RR looks like a box on wheels . Also my next door neighbor who has one says that they break down alot because of bad engineering and the time and cost in the shop is not worth it .

One thing about owning a real expensive SUV , are you really going to jump ditches in it ? MB , BMW , LEXUS , ACURA , INFINITY , ESCALADE , RANGE ROVER etc . Most of the people I see driving them don`t . More than anything they`re status symbols .

the range rover is very nice, unique, and a seriously good looking truck.

I like them.

If I had to choose, it would be tough, because the mercedes is also a nice truck too.

But the Range Rover to me is like the Rolls Royce of trucks, great looking, well made, not too reliable unless maintained properly, but thats how a rolls is anyway.

I would choose the range rover if I had never driven one before, otherwise I would choose the ml if I hadn't driven that but had driven the rover.

Either way you can't go wrong.

hehe mark, the comment about them being boxes on wheels is so true. My brother has a 93 range rover, and his mechanic actually told him... "It's a box on wheels, don't drive it like a race car..."

But my brother doesn't listen to him, and has spent over $15k on the car in 3 years maintaining it.

in 2.5 years with my benz, I have no spent more than $4000 maintaining it, and a big chunk of that was rebuilding the tranny because the previous owner of my car had not changed the tranny fluid at all.

I just had my tranny fluid replaced after 25k miles, and it still looked brand new. My mech was wondering why I even bothered to have it changed, but he didn't charge me for the change anyway, he only commented how the fluid looked as new.

Gotta love benzes.

I choose neither because they are both completely pointless vehicles. The only reason for wanting one is the high seating position.

beaten up Land-Rover, or G-wagen, yes i'd gladly accept





If you're going to do something, do it properly :p

Neither, get a G500! But if that cant happen then you should definately get the Rover.

I had a Range Rover when I was working on a project in Brazil. It never let me down and always made it through the mud without a problem. It was alos very easy to work on in the middle of the jungle.

Ahem Ted... and you think with the ML you won't?
