I have had zero problems on mine after addressing the known issues.

I have 95k on it now, it's 11 yrs old, and drives like a champ.

Getting ready to do some suspension work in a bit, but that is normal maintenance. I'm very pleased. I am considering picking up a 96 c220 if/when the time is right.
