How reliable is a Mercedes Benz?

I’ve always wanted to own a Mercedes Benz—it’s been a dream for as long as I’ve been old enough to drive. But they’re not cheap, and if I’m going to spend that kind of money on a car I want it to be worth it. I know they’re luxurious, but are Mercedes Benzes reliable?

Mercedes is a well-known and loved luxury brand for a reason, and they’re the car that many folks dream of owning one day.
As far as reliability goes,
Mercedes
ranks fairly average. The brand gets a 3/5 on RepairPal and ranks 27th out of 32 in reliability for all car brands. That isn’t super impressive, especially for the amount of money that it can take to buy one.
One of the reasons cited for the lukewarm reliability ratings is that Mercedes is always on the cutting edge of advances in mechanics and technology—which is a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, you get the latest and greatest, but that also tends to come with kinks that have yet to be worked out.
