I have a 98 model and my wife uses it as a daily driver. As I have mentioned in other similar posts before, I love the vehicle. I may be one of the lucky ones because my ML has given me no problem whatsoever. I have not encountered any of the problems that a lot of people mentioned. I still think the ML is a fine vehicle and the best looking SUV on the road. I went to the Washington Auto Show yesterday and I saw plenty of interests on the ML. I overheard one lady asking why she should buy a ML instead of a Jeep or other similar SUV, and the MB guy told her there are only 3 SUVs on the market that can pull itself out of any situation as long as one of the wheels is resting on something solid. ML, G-Wagon and the Humvee are the ones. She then said "you mean my Rodeo can't do that?" I just had to shook my head and walked off. There are some people just don't get it -- you get what you pay.
