[b][/b] Esteem Forum member, I would like your candid opinion on the choice of either a RAV4 (1999-2000) and Mercedes ML 320 1999 Model in term of durability, usage, fuel consumption, maintenance cost. Thanks. |

BABSIN:They are not in the same class at all in terms of anything .. The merc will cost more to buy, fuel and maintain |

MIB1: in terms of initial purchase, the Rav 4 may be costlier to purchase or be on par with the merc in Naija because of the toyota syndrome (remember you can't find brand new of both cars anymore) the Rav 4 has two engine variants of 2.0L 4cylinder with manual and automatic gear versions. the merc has multiple engine variants from petrol to diesel I4, I5n V6 and V8 of different specs. the ML is chunkier so the Rav4 will have better fuel economy and likely faster than the ML due to size and weight when both are compared in the 4cylinder stage. I can't buy a 4cylinder ML cause I believe it will be under powered. the ML has a 3rd row seat which can seat 2adults comfortable and 3 in a rugged manner, but the rav doesn't. the rav has a good sized boot volume and good looking compared to the ML (my opinion). the ML will need optimum care, will cost slightly higher to maintain, needs a professional mecho to look into it, is a German machine and will perform wonderfully well but the Rav 4 has a better resale value than it and far/much more reliable than the ML. the ML is a sport utility vehicle and will perform well in offroad and rough road situations compared to the Rav4 which is a CUV which will have a better fuel economy and drive just like a slightly raised car. |

The ml is not a proud item of Mercedes in terms of durability or ruggedity .... Even its reliability is suspect. That been said ...rav4 is lighter less precise steering... Replacement engine costs almost twice the ml's .... Rav4 looks more dated... Old! I mean the year you're after... Interior wise the Merc wins hands down |

I use a 2002 ml320,trust me there is nothing like it, the balance the movement and even the fuel consumption is on par with golf if not better. Go for the ml and thank me latter. 2 Likes 1 Share |

nurey: Well ur points are valid , if money is no object the OP should get the Benz. That gen of the rav4 is too feminine IMO |
