[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 349269, member: 3592"] EuJax, starting from 200KM, not at 200k! Ie, parking brake stuck a few days after leaving the showroom. All those issues came up before the end of warranty. The car is only at 80k now. But I don't see those issues as bad per se, they happen to every marque. I use C&C workshops for the Merc, and my favourites for Merc and BMW are C&C Mutiara and IA Mutiara. The customer service is great in both, but the overall philosophy of Merc aftersales seems to be: 'fix the defect for all units out there even if the customers haven't complained'. That's the right way to look at recalls - the manufacturer acknowledging defects and taking the financial blows without being demanded to. So far I haven't had a single issue with my E90 (touch wood) The oil is always at max from one change to the next. It's a much more pleasurable car to drive than the W211. [/QUOTE]
