Bought a 2012 Mercedes ML: Observations after initial weeks of driving

While driving you feel safe, due to its size, heaviness, no rolls, precise turns.

BHPian s.arunprabhakar recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Got this ML a few weeks ago; 2012 model, excellent engine and transmission.

Changed tires with Michelin 255/50 R 19 103 Y LATITUDE SPORT 3 MO1
Main battery that was 8 years old
Parking bulbs to Osram LED T10 2825DW-02B
Serviced and changed engine/transmission oils and filters, brake fluid, CAM bolt, Wiper blades, A.Charcoal filter, Rotational speed sensor
Fixed the broken release handle and parking brake assembly with cables

Comfort is the key. Everything is at the touch of a button – seat height, angle, lumbar support, leg space, thigh support all in your fingers. For both the driver and the front passenger!
Quality of speakers- remarkable. Crystal clear, precise. Audio controls are great – fading, treble and bass are perfect
Switching audio, answering calls have a beautiful fading effect while switching. Neat.

Airbags are the best in class.
Auto tightening of seat belts is one in class
While driving you feel safe, due to its size, heaviness, no rolls, precise turns
Headlights follow the steering, so you can see clearly in the nights
Perfect chimes and signals for any vehicles or obstacles closer to your machine
Blind spot support on wing mirrors

Uparallel to any of the SUVs. Big bucket seats. 5 big adults can comfortably travel
Biggest boot space. Can carry baggage for weeks of travel
Fuel 100L capacity for long drives
Spacious interiors; you can stretch your arms and legs without discomforting others
Safety add-ons for babies

Separate temperature zone for driver and aile passenger
Sport, Luxury or normal mode for suspensions
Tell tale switches and lights to help even a novice
Automatic lighting – interior and exterior, very helpful when parking in dark areas. The whole space around the car is lit and help in boarding
Multiple level of temperature settings
Heated seats and steering for rainy and cold days
Very convenient cruise-control, steps of 1kmph or 5 or 10 helps accelerating/decelerating
Limit setting switch to follow road signs on speed
Automatic rain sensor and wiping; very useful. More important is automatic speed adjustment of the wiper; heavy rains full speed and drizzling with short cycles. Brilliant!
Perfectly positioned rear seat reading lights
Ambient light control of all the bright lights inside – display, button-lights, odo-lights all controlled with just 2 buttons!
