I wouldn't call losing your front suspension on the highway a "minor thing".
The most common problem with the CDI's that I've read about is the car going into "limp mode" due to some electronic malfunction. But based on consumer reviews most people seem happy with their CDI's and perhaps Mercedes reliability has been improving in the last few years.

All perfectly valid points, however.
I've travelled extensively around Europe, visited nearly every European country at some time or another. Outside nearly every single airport, without fail, will be a large fleet of W210 taxis. They all have starship mileage, and without fail all are smooth, quiet, and much loved by their owners.
Now if professional drivers like them, that says a lot - although I'm prepared to concede that Mercedes do help out by manufacturing a lot of components for taxi use.
