Drivers of most other cars wish they had that problem.

When I worked at a junkyard, we'd see Mitsubishi engines fail routinely before 100,000. American junk was typically good for about 160,000 miles. Honda, Toyota, and the like went more like 240,000. Subarus and Crown Vics were usually over 300,000. We didn't get enough Benzes with six digit odometers to establish a trend. Actually the only one we got was a 260E with 327,000 miles that looked like it had fallen off a cliff. In it I found a note from a mechanic that said it needed brake work.
