I bought the GLE400 a few months ago. Incredible car. I agree that the v8 is insanely fast, but the biturbo v6 is also more than enough. It goes to 100 within 5.8 seconds, so not that big if a difference than the v8, but it is more economical. Even the 350 will be fine for most of the people, although I agree that you said it isn't fast enough. I am on normal suspension as air suspensions are not very reliable in general, no matter the brand and pricey to maintain. I thought it could be a mistake, but man it rides perfectly, especially on bad rodes, some say it is even better than the airmatic. And on the highway way doing 160 in a corner is not a problem. Only on very twisty road, you would feel more lean to the sides, but it makes you drive the car in a more relaxed manner, which I appreciate.
Hilarious, and accurate review! Thoroughly entertaining as well as informative if you've never driven one of these stellar vehicles. My ML550 is the best vehicle I've ever owned.
Thanks! I learned so much about this vehicle and your ex girlfriend 😁 I just bought one last week and it’s been great so far. I hope the previous owner wasn’t crazy so I can save money.
mine is 2012 W166 3.5 petrol is like a bulletproof. Quite fast as well, and it is the most elegant and good looking in its category, My next car will be either a 2016 GLE or 2016 X6
@ only 83k miles? Mines 160k miles on it. Runs beautiful and I am abusing it I mean abusing it on and off-road 🤣💪🏼 this thing is a tank. I also have 1998 first ever 4x4 German suv W163 💪🏼 now that’s a different beast body on frame
@@bekabeka71 Wow, good to know its running well with those kind of miles! Where are that you put so many miles on it? I store mine for 6 mths each year so that accounts for fewer miles. I have a B Service scheduled for today....not looking forward to that bill! Also have an '07 C Class and '23 GLC. Can't have too many MB's.
