ML63 or Porsche Turbo

MNBart · 01-13-2013, 05:22 PM

Anyone have direct experience with the ML63? The inlaws are looking for a new SUV. Currently have an '06 Cayanne Turbo and looking for trading it in. Do the ML's run well? worth the money? reliability issues?

I imagine if they're AMGs the engines will run really well. Is this the same 6.3 they use in the Es?

thanks for the help. I don't know either of these cars well

get the Turbo or Turbo S. The ML just looks kinda wierd.
The new Cayennes are incredibly awesome.

I would take a Cayenne Turbo over any other SUV. I have owned a Cayenne S, X5 (currently), and I have had experience with a GL550 among others.

The GL has had the most troubles including having the heads removed valve seats redone etc

yea, that's pretty much what i've told her. the porsche has had some issues since it only has max 25000miles like a messed up backup camera and broken heated steering wheel. However, the ML's aren't particularly known for reliability as the first lady's randomly had the mirror fall? odd

thanks guys
