Evo

About the only thing I would consider replacing the Escort with, but I'm in no hurry, so I can't even like them that much

I quite fancy an ML Mercedes myself.

Cars to be used as 'toys' are OK as just that - a toy.

I know 3 people who have them, 2 of which have bought another afterwards. Never had any problems. The early early ones are a bit iffy but from the 'W' on they're OK and you can get a 270 for Ł10k.

compare a x5, land cruiser, even a discovery 2 to a ml and you'll see the ml isn't all that good compared to rivals!
