just finished reading the long term test by edmunds.com of MB ML320 (2002, not 2001 model), one of the competitors of the MDX... here's the summary part of the article:
- Current Odometer: 6,851 miles
Best Fuel Economy: 14.2 mpg
Worst Fuel Economy: 11.9 mpg
Average Fuel Economy (over the life of the vehicle): 12.9 mpg
Body Repair Costs: None
Maintenance Costs: None
Problems: ESP light illuminated in dash — faulty lamp switch replaced under warranty; fuel gauge malfunctioned — fuel tank sender unit replaced under warranty.
i heard that MB did some major revisions to solve the reliability problems/concerns on the 2002 ML320, looks like they still have a long way to go.... and the fuel economy (if there's any) sucks....
