2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class - A Great Choice
This is the first time I have purchased an M Class Mercedes. I have owned many other models, but never an SUV. This car is terrific. It looks very stylish without being ostentatious. The seats are really comfortable which makes it a pleasure to ride long distances. The added height, compared to a sedan, makes it easy to see and be seen on the highway. The gas mileage is better than average for this type of vehicle. It hasn't been in the shop, for repairs, since I bought it but I do the scheduled maintenance always. The costs are as expected for this type of vehicle. Another thing that surprised me was how easy it is to put the seats up and down. This car is a lot of fun to drive.

2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class - The Ride in a Benz
The ML 550 gets my votes for it's overall safety record and stability. The car is solid as a rock, because the frame is pure steel and their are safety bags all over the interior of the car. Overall, I'm satisfied with the sound quietness throughout the interior where you don't hear the road or other cars on the outside.
Story
I hit both fenders within a week of each other and couldn't understand why I've never had another accident except for this one.
Pros
The ML 550 Benz is a smooth ride, it hugs the corners specially when you are going over 75 mph, and picks up speed like nobodies business. It's sleek in style, because it has a small body and looks like its got muscles everywhere.
Cons
The only thing is the cost to maintain, which you must take into the dealer for any type of maintenance. It can be very expensive for all parts on the car as well, a light bulb that is out must be removed and replaced by the dealer or a certified repair shop. The other con is that the gas doesn't last in the car even at 15 mpg. I guess because its such a small tank.
