ml280 cdi opinion

to the owners of the ml 280 cdi. whats your opinion on this engine. How does it compare to the 320 cdi or the 350? I currently own a 98 ml 320 and am considering a ml 280 cdi. Is there a huge power difference between the 320 and 280? do you feel the 280 is underpowered and if you do, at what speed? I do mainly city driving and hill climbing. it is rare that I will go over 70 mph.


I need a lot of low end torque more that horsepower.

I am really interested in your opinions. Thank you very much,

Andy

preferably have a test drive with both. I did a test drive with 320 CDI and purchased the 280 CDI. The difference is not very noticeable. The 280 is a very enjoyable car. So far so good.

do not hesitate to buy that car. I own a 280cdi and the engine is so perfect. if i were you i would have bought more accesssory than buying 320 cdi. also dont buy real leather seat option. alcantra option is better. you dont freeze in winters or bake yourself on summers. if you wish to buy a navigation dont forget that it doesnt play any movies or dont have a tv tuner so spare your bucks for aftermarket products

thank you for your opinion.

i am still debating about the air suspension. I hope that they receive one with air suspension so i can try to see the difference.

I have test driven both 320 and 280. There isnot much difference unless you want to goto 0-60 faster. Even then the difference is less than even 1 FULL SECOND between both.
I agree slosh your money on buying Extra Options. I have used CMFORT PACK AND MEMEOLRY which is fantastic.
ALCANTARA OPTION is the BEST . ACn fault it.
Just expecting delivery of my new 280 in 3 weeks time. There is even EDITION S OUT which gives you even sportier looks.
