M-Class

Breadcrumbs

Second-gen M is vastly better, great quality, good on-road.

Comfort

Rides well and can comfort huge distances with you remaining as fresh as your deo.
Performance

It may be heavy, but it does defy its weight.
Cool

Strikes a nice balance between being imposing and subtle.
Quality

All very luxurious and vault-like.
Handling

We can't understand how, but it's incredibly fun to punt around corners.
Practicality

Has good off-road cred, versatile boot, and not humungous in the city. Poor rear visibility, though.
Running costs

All that bulk will show in your fuel bill. Yet, diesel offers just under 10kpl.
