We've had at least one merc in the family since 2006 and they have been brilliant. No issues at all apart from an ECU needed upgrtading that took 2 weeks but they gave us a very nice CLS, a battery went after 2 years on the ML and they came out to the house to replace it and thats been it.
The most reliable cars I have owen are my 2 bm's apart from servicing and tyres they were totally trouble free.
The worst was my vw r32 back in 2003. I had it for a year and I dont think during that 12 months it didn't visit the dealers at least once a month for an issue. But I think I might have been unlucky as my scirocco I had 2 years ago ran faultlessly for 12 months. Even though I had it lowered, AP brakes, sports cat etc and it was running 310bhp...
I've only had one audi, an a3 sline dsg tdi thing that I loved. It had a couple of minor faults that the dealer made a right old meal of. So I can't blaim the car as most issues were the useless dealer.
