You'll find that many of the people that speak out so strongly against these cars have never been in the driver's seat of one. The only 2 things I've seen happen to other vehicles is an airmatic shock crap out (S500) and the supercharger issue (CL55) I described. I'm not sure if its a common one though, but is was a costly repair.
So far my car has run me $600 in maintenance and repairs in 6 months of ownership. That's all so far (knock on wood).
