If you enjoy the company of your local MB service adviser then buy a car with SBC...most people don't like cars that have more than 1 recall on the same system..Since the system is warrantied for 10 years, you might become a "regular" there..

SBC is not a good system & both MB & Bosch have completely abandoned that system!
