To my Australian readers pondering the purchase of Mercedes' latest AMG-powered M-Class, CarPoint Australia recently spent some time with the model, delivering a concise-yet-informative review of the luxury SUV.

So what did they think?  A few excerpts from CarPoint's review:

"From the moment you press the ML's accelerator pedal, the car surges off the line with very serious intent. While you do feel the weight of the vehicle such is the massive torque available that urgent thrust, no matter what the speed, requires little more than a decent prod of the throttle."

"Despite being a spacious, practical and high riding SUV, the ML 63 handles as close to a sportscar as it possibly could given its obvious physical limitations. With the Airmatic suspension switched to Sport mode, the steering is delightfully sharp and responsive, and the car sits very flat and firm on the road."

"Despite its SUV underpinnings, the ML 63 AMG is a car that can, and yearns to be, driven hard and it responds in kind offering the sort of driving dynamics and performance that few others in its class can match."


And there you have it:  the latest of many satisfied ML drivers.

To learn more, head over to CarPoint for the full Mercedes ML 63 AMG review; and to Shiv: thanks once again for the tip; we're forever in your gratitude.
