If German cars had a stellar reputation for reliability, Lexus would not be where it is today. TrueDelta's latest Car Reliability Survey results, based on owner experiences through the end of March 2010, provide some evidence that a corner has been turned, but other evidence that work remains to be done.
Two years ago the current Mercedes C-Class had a relatively trouble-free launch, and in the latest results the 2008 is better than average. Nearly three-quarters of owners haven't had a single repair in the past year.
The redesigned-for-2010 Mercedes E-Class appears poised to go down the same path. TrueDelta's first reliability stat for the car, 56 repair trips per 100 cars per year, is very close to the average for all 2010 cars. For an all-new car with above-average complexity this is quite good. It's also far better than the record compiled by the make's SUVs.
