GLK350 that my teenage daughter has driven to 106k without skipping a beat. SL63 that is one of my all time favorites. C36 that was a classic Mercedes tank. As someone that does everything DIY I think Mercedes quality is only matched by pre-VAG Porsche, they have all been excellent cars. Working on a modern Audi or BMW is terrible in comparison.
I would agree with all of that.. The under -C class I've driven was junk, but the older C43/63 of a previous gen I drove were pretty nice... That is why I was shocked Mercedes would put their badge on these CLA things. Not gonna argue on the work on Audi/BMW, we have one of each and both have been a pain. I have a laptop dedicated to my E46 M3, an entire LAPTOP for pete's sake... I reflash the DME more often than my wife flashes me ! (amazing motor, **** ride, crap electronics)
