To answer your question : Yes, I do feel engine vibrations and am convinced myself that the mounts have worn out. |
See i told you, i dont know what caused your mounts to fails ,roads or quality.I just asked you to verify that they have failed.

I don't argue with the fact that they have improved. But the truth is, the improvement is still not enough. You have read articles that speak about the best quality. I am, and interact with actual owners. Therein lies the difference.

off course,you interact with them.But if your going down that road then one should never talk of cars other than the ones they own or have access to.Is that what your implying?

Also, the W221 & W204 articles only speak about material quality (interiors, switches, paint finish etc.) and NOT long-term reliability which my post is about. Apples to apples, Merve.

Merc's of the past were also criticized for their poor materials.

The new S-Class, with its reliability failures, has already given me the best perspective. Again, this is based on information that is straight from the horses mouth (read : actual owners).

I don't have access to all those facts so i cannot talk on those lines,i can only talk from what others who own Mercedes cars say on online MB forums.
