A Sensi at my son's dojo drives a W221 S500 and I recall asking him how he liked the car and he said it seems like every other month he's writing multi $K checks for fixes. Knowing him he probably takes the car to the dealership for service and he does not DIY anything on it.
Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Audi..... they all had their quality nadir in the late '90s to early '00s, depending on when the model was developed. Glad to say, the newer ones have been MUCH better.
