I have equal amounts of mileage on my MB and my Honda since ownership. 38,000 miles. Honda had 132,000 mi. when I got it and MB had 192,000. I have spent $13,000 on the MB and it sits in the shop waiting on a new transmission. I have spent $1000 on the Honda and drive it 300 miles a week. But I have to admit, the MB is better looking even if it doesn't work.
