The 220 and the 215 are two of most unreliable and stupidly most expensive to maintain models in the Mercedes family.

The early W211 also falls in this category. Want a reliable newer Mercedes? Get a face lifted W211 or get a W221. With the economy as it is going, they should be cheap to buy sooner than later.
