Got this ML a few weeks ago; 2012 model, excellent engine and transmission.<\/p>\n
2012 Preowned W164.<\/h2>\n2023 07 Corrections:<\/h2>\n\n- Changed tires with Michelin 255\/50 R 19 103 Y LATITUDE SPORT 3 MO1<\/li>\n
- Main battery that was 8 years old<\/li>\n
- Parking bulbs to Osram LED T10 2825DW-02B<\/li>\n
- Serviced and changed engine\/transmission oils and filters, brake fluid, CAM bolt, Wiper blades, A.Charcoal filter, Rotational speed sensor<\/li>\n
- Fixed the broken release handle and parking brake assembly with cables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Initial drive and experience:<\/h2>\n\n- 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!<\/li>\n
- Quality of speakers- remarkable. Crystal clear, precise. Audio controls are great – fading, treble and bass are perfect<\/li>\n
- Switching audio, answering calls have a beautiful fading effect while switching. Neat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Safety:<\/h2>\n\n- Airbags are the best in class.<\/li>\n
- Auto tightening of seat belts is one in class<\/li>\n
- While driving you feel safe, due to its size, heaviness, no rolls, precise turns<\/li>\n
- Headlights follow the steering, so you can see clearly in the nights<\/li>\n
- Perfect chimes and signals for any vehicles or obstacles closer to your machine<\/li>\n
- Blind spot support on wing mirrors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Capacity:<\/h2>\n\n- Uparallel to any of the SUVs. Big bucket seats. 5 big adults can comfortably travel<\/li>\n
- Biggest boot space. Can carry baggage for weeks of travel<\/li>\n
- Fuel 100L capacity for long drives<\/li>\n
- Spacious interiors; you can stretch your arms and legs without discomforting others<\/li>\n
- Safety add-ons for babies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Performance:<\/h2>\n\n- Made for comfort and long drives<\/li>\n
- Smooth and silent engine<\/li>\n
- No tyre noise coming inside<\/li>\n
- Automatic climate control at its best<\/li>\n
- Perfect visibility in all 4 directions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Comfort:<\/h2>\n\n- Separate temperature zone for driver and aile passenger<\/li>\n
- Sport, Luxury or normal mode for suspensions<\/li>\n
- Tell tale switches and lights to help even a novice<\/li>\n
- Automatic lighting – interior and exterior, very helpful when parking in dark areas. The whole space around the car is lit and help in boarding<\/li>\n
- Multiple level of temperature settings<\/li>\n
- Heated seats and steering for rainy and cold days<\/li>\n
- Very convenient cruise-control, steps of 1kmph or 5 or 10 helps accelerating\/decelerating<\/li>\n
- Limit setting switch to follow road signs on speed<\/li>\n
- 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!<\/li>\n
- Perfectly positioned rear seat reading lights<\/li>\n
- Ambient light control of all the bright lights inside – display, button-lights, odo-lights all controlled with just 2 buttons!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
