I do not understand people that continue to purchase these horribly unreliable vehicles. It is one thing if you live in Detroit and several of your friends and family are in the union. Then you buy a Ford or GM product.

What I do not understand are people who buy Jaguars, Landrovers or Fiats. These have been by far the worst vehicles in reliability for the last thirty years. I read Consumer Reports survey results you referred to putting Mercedes in last place. I have not bought anything other than Toyota, Honda, Lexus or Ford since 1988. For me or my wife/daughter and son.

My 24 year old son just bought his first brand new vehicle. A Honda CRV. The other vehicles he considered were a Toyota RAV4 and a Toyota Camry. He previously owned a Subaru Impreza. It was fine until 100K miles.

I have been considering buying a older Mercedes SL 500 or 550. Something from either late 1980s or 2004-2010. Now I am having second thoughts about post 1980s. The late 80s models were still all made in Germany.
