Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML 320 CDI tested by CarWale

Thanks Charles for the review, and Vrushali for the photos.

This photo gives me a feeling that the legroom may not be very comfortable for the driver - especially on a long trip. 

To bring to your notice... the Test Data (page 7) contains a link View Specifications , which when accessed, doesn't display any details - except the ex-showroom price (Rs.69 lac).  The same is a mismatch with the one mentioned in the review (Rs.54 lac).

Pankaj,

         Thank you for your feedback. We're already working on acquiring the data for the same.  And don't believe all that you see - that seat had been pushed forward for another shot, following which this particular shot was taken.

No technical information, a person's knowledge about the car before and after the road test is the same. So whats the use of the road test, your just showing your vocabulary skills, and nothing what you have understood about the car.

Thanks for the wonderful review.

i liked the following photo.. do u have a higher resolution version of the same?

@Vrushali: Awesome pics. Par yeh dil maange more.

@Charles: Nice worded. But am highly disappointed due to heavy lack of content.

FE could have been calculated from tank full to tank full method. No excuses there.

@Rahul: 4WD, 'Smooth and Linear' are commonly used terms in test drives. They doesn't need much explanation. I do admit that 'quattro' is an exception.

@ami

4wd isnt even mentioned once.....

I read in some other road test that Charles doesn't know to form English sentences and he is bad at vocab as well? I went thru all ur posts and I relaize that you have criticized Carwale, charles or anything in general in 90% posts. You compare Carwale with sites people haven't even heard of (vicky.com???). Now you say Car india has a great team! Aspi is a great racer and Amit is a great writer. Car india prints 5k copies, that too are not sold I guess. Lol.

You say you had worked with auto magazines? As what? Possible that you know about cars but your English is pathetic. Maybe I can write better than you. Which magazine had you worked with by the way? I suppose Car India?

Dude, what's wrong with you and what are you upto? What have forced to join Carwale forum even if you hate almost everything here?

p.s. Moderators, sorry if I have gone overboard but this is getting intolerable now. You can delete my post if you find it offending.

@Jith: Do PM me your email ID along with the size you'd like, and I'll send it to you.

@Ami: We always do an FE run in the way you suggest, but it would unfair to the car if we were to assume it would give us the same fuel efficiency on unfamiliar roads. I always drive cars on the same route when I get to take them home, and my commute itself gives me all conditions from a dual-carriageway national highway, to crowded rush-hour traffic to potholed small-town roads. In the M's case, the only time I drove it from tankful to tankful was during testing - would that be a fair measure of the car's real efficiency?

Could you please elaborate on what you meant by 'lack of content'?
