Hi Folks. Been out of circulation in this forum for a while now since I sold all my MBs a few years ago. Had a 202 and four 123s. All non computerized and easy to maintain as I do most of the work. I have been thinking about W212 E class AWD (preferably a wagon but will consider sedan) but I'm just afraid of the maintenance especially that it has loads more gadgets and electronics than what I'm used to. I just don't want to find myself in the shop more often than I want to. I currently drive a 2004 Volvo XC70 and a 2007 Honda Accord.

For those who have the W212, is there a year thats more reliable than others? Are W212s suited for DIY maintenance? What frequent maintenance or issues have you encountered besides the basic stuff? Thanks in advance.
