We chose the A210 Amg as wife was expecting and she had an MX5, wanted something not obvioulsy a Mummy mobile.

Its great, 40mpg plus and rare, looks smart loads of room.


The ML was chose as out of the other cars I drove (Lexus, bmw, landrover, etc etc) I liked it the most and I wanted auto which they almost all are. I had a 330 bm convertible prior to little one and no way would that have done. We also tow a fair bit and mountain bike so room and its ability as a truck is very handy.

Image or percieved image is a bonus, as even though in value terms they are not that expensive I still think people perceve a Merc to cost a lot.
 
Bought the ML as it was

1. cheap as chips on finance,
2. rare for a mass produced car as opposed to the numerous RR Sports, Disco's, Q7's. In 420 guise its even less common,
3. the engine,
4. its a benz! so some kind of badge snobbery there i think
5. economy of V8, can get 30-35mpg on motorway run


but only in that order!!
 
Wanted something comfortable and stylish that would carry all the family remaining at home and all their luggage for a fortnight's holiday.

It fits the bill.
