The diesel has huge amounts torque, and the car is very quick. And although the car has lots of room inside, the outside dimensions are actually quite compact—for an SUV.

It's an amazing car really, that gets rave reviews—in Europe in particular. The first series of these cars had some quality problems, but the new series (since 2006) is built like a bank vault.
We have one of these. It's absolutely the best vehicle we've ever purchased. Just as Dottore says, it is very powerful, fast, and returns amazing MPG. It also handles very well. I highly recommend the ML320. You're lucky you live in Missouri. In CA. NY, Mass., Vermont and Maine, the M-series diesel is not legal.
