Never trusted anything from J.D. powers to begin with. Anyone else notice in compact car they list the Pontiac Vibe under the Matrix as if it was built by GM? Should someone tell J.D. Powers it is a matrix?

Not only that, since when are any Mercedes reliable?

I can't speak from first-hand experience but my boss has a 15 year old Merc something-or-other that has over 200K miles on it and claims it's never given him any problems. Guess some people just get lucky with their cars.

The xA is a fine little car - probably actually a bit more refined and tougher than the xB Classic when it comes right down to it. The one I had was a VERY solid ride. https://www.scionlife.com/gallery/?photo=52699

(All years of the xA and original xB were very good, but for some reason the '05 of both of 'em seem to be the very best vintage.) :D
