Overall reliability
A great car to drive, and very comfortable.
I was a bit apprehensive reading about pre-2006 W211 problems on this site before buying. However, a one-owner Elegance with full MB service history, and 73,000 miles on the clock was very tempting. Sorry, John ... it is how you treat a car that matters.
It is a bit expensive on petrol on a supermarket / shopping run (19 - 22 mpg) of course, but on longer journeys (e.g. Warwick-London) it easily manages 37 mpg mostly on cruise control, and a light right foot.
This is my fourth MB, having previously owned a W114, a W116 and a W124 estate. MB's level of refinement and continuous development is still amazing !
