2005 Mercedes C-Class
ML 320 CDI performance
Hi ML owners!
I've been having my 06 ML320 CDI since Friday and I've already managed to put 500 miles on it. I really like the way this car drives and an Airmatic is just awesome.
However, I am a little bit concerned about an engine power and vehicle performance. I have to say that I havent pushed the car yet since its new and I am going to wait until 1200miles, but the engine still seems a lot weaker than a 4.7L 220hp engine in my 2000 Grand Cherokee in low and mid RPM....
So are you satisfied with 320CDI engine? Is the car agile at all?!? 8.4 seconds to 60 seem OK, but I dont think the car can do that. How will it do lets say against Mercedes C230?
Thanks

ML 320 CDI
I can understand what you mean but it has to do with the 7G-tronic. When you push slightly the throttle, the car will automatically use an higher gear to lower the consumption and noise. Wait until you can really drive it and then you will notice the difference. the 320 CDI has 510 NM, which the Cherokee can only dream of...
