I was playing with the airmatic and comfort setting gives a smooth and quiet ride, I can't belive an SUV could be so quiet and smooth. I switched to sport and you can definately feel the stifening of the shocks, les roll but more bumps and sound from the road. I alos lifted the suspension and you can see it moving. I have the 19" wheels and was afraid it was going to be too bouncy and moisy but the airmatic takes care of it. I definately recommend it if it's in you budget....budget...lol

Yep. I'm ordering any/all of my R's, GL's, and ML's with the Airmatic -- wouldn't even consider not having it. Does to seem to fit within my 'budget' too...... (smarta$$). LOL

For me Comfort mode is too floaty and soft, but my wife like it. I use Sport a lot when driving quickly or in the twisties. But, Auto mode seems to be a very good compromise for most driving. You can definitely feel distinct differences between all three.

It has been a week and 600 miles and this ML is wonderful, on the highway it is quiet and very stable, averaging 19 mpg so far.

ShoremNJ.

Nice pic you've got there.
Isn't it possible to post it a little bit larger, 800x600 or more ?
