ML500 -first impression
Just picked up a loaded ML500 (loaner).
Feels quick,handles on par with E500(almost),lots of toys like keyless go,el.trunk,shift buttons on the steering wheel etc.
Feels and looks expensive on the inside(a first for the ML),excellent driving position(I'm 6'4" at 220 lbs).
Makes my Father's X5 4.4 feel really outdated,both in driving feel/pleasure and the quality of the finish.
I really like this car.....

Great to hear! Is there any way you could take some pics?
I have a question about the interior. Is there directly under the air con buttons a drawer or something or is the space blank? To clarify where exactly I mean, I don't mean the drawer below that sits on the area where the cupholder are, I mean the wood area that surround the aircon buttons, directly below the buttons. I ask because in the ML 350 I sat in it didn't have this drawer but in a 500 I saw it did, but I coudln't get inside it.
Thanks!

It's a drawer.
Send me an email ,so I can send you the pics.
I'm still a little bit computer challenged and have trouble posting them.
