 We purchased this vehicle in 2010 used with only 16,000 miles on it.  It has been okay but I expected a bit more from a "luxury" manufacturer.  At the end of the day, they are about the same as GM, Ford, etc.  The electronic items that fail are really irritating.  To date, we have had the rear hatch lock replaced, the drivers side door lock replaced, and the master window switch on the drivers door replaced.   There aren't any children riding in this vehicle abusing the electronics so I just chalk it up to poor design and / or manufacturing.  On the positive side of things, it still has the original tires and they are still have good tread, the vehicle rides great, looks great, and we enjoy driving it.  We don't drive a lot here in Omaha, NE and put less than 5,000 miles per year on it so it still has only 45,000 total miles on the vehicle.  Hopefully it will live up to the standards of our old C230 Kompressor that is still going strong at over 260,000 miles...
