Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
7 Speed transmission is ultra smooth, audio system, brakes, seat comfort and support, overall look and style.
Has large cup holders, very good driver visibility front, rear and sides.
Access compartments and extraordinary Harmon Kardon audio system. The 12 speakers put you in a "Concert Hall" from any seat.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
Enlarge Sun Visors to eliminate mirror area open spots to shield sun.
Tire wear mileage should be improved.
Front "knee room" should be widened, as a 5' 9" driver, my right knee is looking for a comfortable "spot" that is taken up.
2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review:
Outstanding vehicle. Rides like sedan, transmission very smooth, gas mileage very reasonable considering weight. Engine wants to get to lower gear, yet retains passing power with smoothness. Quiet, comfortable and the feel as well as the look of a Mercedes Benz. As previous Mercedes Benz owners we expected a lot and received more! Downhill speed regulator and "On-speed" cruise control make longer (200 mile plus) trips a pleasure. Solid-Solid- Solid! The "Three Pointed Star" shines a Strong and Bright path.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
leather steering wheel. Harmon-Karden stereo. Power liftgate.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
Too many options for a price. On a $50,000 car, many things should be standard.
2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review:
I love this car. It??s my first Mercedes Benz. I had a 2001 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer, and words cannot even describe the difference. I'm in love, and so glad I waited. I never liked the previous body style, but this one is sleek, smooth, and beautiful. So many heads are turning when I glide by people. Don't see many on the street in Los Angeles though.

Internal features - I would make some more features standard - such as BiX head lights, etc. - I would improve the navigation software. - I would make a clock available on the display. - Climate control is not precise.
2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review:
Compared to the previous years model, the redesigned 2006 model is more stable on the road, has better suspension, and perfect acceleration in this line of SUVs. Test drove Infiniti, BMW, Acura. ML is by far better in pretty much any of the categories - road and curve handling, braking, acceleration. Fun to drive.

2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review:
After 8 days of happy ownership and only 200 miles, our ML500 had serious transmission problems, couldn't be driven and it spent the next 4 days in the dealers shop. All this, after waiting an extra 2 months for delivery so "Mercedes could be sure of no quality problems". This was our departure from 15 years of owning Lexus...and we are going back to Lexus. It is a shame because the car is a beauty and rides incredibly well. Too bad the Germans have forgotten how to design and manufacture a car for reliability. By the way, the Mercedes navigation compared to Lexus is far inferior....Lexus makes it so easy to use. When your emotion grabs you to go for style...think quality/reliability.

2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review:
I used to drive a Corolla so when my wife and I planned to look for a second car we did a little research. I was opting for the new 3 series from BMW, but the minute we saw the ML, wow! Everytime I get close to the car, I can't help but stare at it. Gas mileage... who cares about gas mileage? It doesn't even matter, it was just too fun to drive. The looks, it's #1, no complaints. Build quality, you can't compare to anything. Everytime I get in and out of my car only one thing comes to mind "YOU GOTTA LOVE WHAT YOU DRIVE."

Air suspension and V8 engine
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
Get that navigation unit out of there. Look to Infiniti, Lexus or Acura for nav. Also guages are lame. Think electro luminescent.
2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review:
First time owning a MB and comming from a long line of Infiniti's I love this SUV. Handles great w/ the Air suspension. But next to my partner's M35 the NAV on my MB is the worst I've seen yet. It cant find half the things your looking for and then it sometimes puts you in the wrong area. It seems Germans know how to make a fine ride but when it comes to technology, the Japanese have the upper hand. Id love to see some Japanese technology integrated in here.

Appearance package, worth every penny, and the GPS system is excellent.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
Upgraded stereo could have louder speakers through out, and why no Bluetooth?
2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review:
Great SUV, value considering the price of competition. Solid, strong, responsive and nice updated styling. Get it, you won't be sorry

Phone,Navigation and all the options I bought(loaded with everything)

Add the pulsating seat option with the comfort package like I have in my S500
2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review:
I traded in my 2004 Escalade because I was tired of driving a big truck everyday. This is my 9th Benz and compares great to my 2005 S500. Although smaller than the Escalade, I have more features.(my ML500 is loaded with every option available including the phone) Only problem so far is that I need a new air pump for the air suspension feature. I'm told this had been a problem in some of the 2006 models. Overall, I would highly recommend. I'm avid Benz driver and Benz got it right on the 2006 ML500.
