I thought the ML was a respectable ride. I like the interior room over the X5 for me since I am tall. But the ML also felt larger and I didn't care for the steering, I like heavier steering. Mercedes builds a decent car, I just am more into the sportier look of BMW along with the BMW interior and controls.

I actually prefer the Acura MDX over the ML for a larger sized SUV and the Audi Q5 for something smaller without the third row seat.
