 I have been a long time driver of German makes.From BMWs to Mercedes, I have owned over 6 German made cars.I have never been more disappointed in the quality and reliability.Most recently, my 2011 S-Class Mercedes.Although new with 8,900 miles, I have been back to the dealer 5 times for A/C malfunction, check-engine light, GPS malfunction and much more.No matter how polite the service department may be, this is the last German car I will ever purchase again.I am disappointed as I will miss the exceptional performance but I do not have the time nor patience to keep bringing back my German cars to the dealer.My wife has a Lexus 460 with over 48K with absolute "zero" problems...
