awesome vehicle. atrocious gas mileage. i get between 9-13 mpg with my heavy foot. but i dont give a ****! makes me smile everytime. no major problems have been encountered, i have 46,000 on my 2009..
check the tires-- wear out quick, need to keep alignment in spec, check the rims for curb damage, otherwise its rock solid.

how quickly the tires wears? i have a bad experience from c63....changing rear tires every 5000 to 8000 kms (about 3 to 6k miles)
also have u try to tow something? planning to tow a heavy camping trailer....like 6500lbs...and i think i might need a brake controller for the trailer....do u know if there is a kit for any shop or dealer will be able to install it?
I saw u have some nice cars.....have u ever towing it using your ml63?
Thx!

your Prius must feel like it has a sewing machine engine in it compared to your C63. I had a 2007 ML63 and then sold it...missed the power and bought a 2011. Love the vehicle....no issues with the 2011 but had a few with the 2007. Drove it for 125,000km...blew the air ride in the front once, rear shocks and tranny was rebuilt at a 105,000km.

Sewing machine...that a good way of describle that vehicle.... But u know what that sewing machine is very good on gas....i can get average 750km per tank....and cost of filling it up is no more than 45cdn
Anyways....that little car is good...but i really enjoy the power from the 63 motor....therefore i want to change it to suv....no point keep two small cars in the garage...also that prius is my wife's car....but i just use it for winter times....
So u telling me i should get Extended warranty for ml63 and i should keep my eyes for a 09+ ?

Brake controller can be added; it is partially factory pre-wired in the area around the headlight switch. You can search the GL forums for additional info.
