Hey Hatterasguy: That sounds just like a description of a woman: She can't cook, spends money like it's going out-of-style, talks on the cell phone all day, spends two hours in the bathroom to put her face on and is dumb like wood. But she's great in bed and I love it!
This wagon is interesting: It appears that the engineers picked the most involved design of many choices: The tailgate lock is a good example, the wiper drive, the climate system another one. It obviously wasn't considered that more complexity brings less reliability. The design philosophy obviously assumed that an owner would take the vehicle to an "authorized Mercedes shop" for anything that goes wrong. There, the technicians would have the special tools and the special knowledge to make repairs. It was assumed that an owner would have very deep pockets. Oh - it suits me fine: It's a very nice car and I consider it the finest wagon ever built. I have many cars and drive whichever suits me at the time and I enjoy the challenge of repairing the unrepairable. My 280SL was claimed by the local MB dealer to be unrepairable. It's sort-of like having a few wifes: Pick one for the particular activity you have in mind at the time and use her talents.
