Cool! My xB has been the epitome of reliability.

I did find it odd that the Toyota FJ Cruiser was most reliable small SUV. The thing isn't that small!

it's based on complaints from it's 6 million subscribers about their cars. if a little plastic piece on it breaks, something goes wrong with the engine, and they make a claim. there goes a hit.

about the reliablity report & mercedes problems

Interesting...I just sold my '96 E Class and replaced it with my xB...and a lot of people can't believe that I would do such a thing. The xB doesn't ride like the Benz, but after three weeks the xB hasn't been in the shop. And that is an improvement!

^^ I did the same thing. Except I had a 2004 C 230k sport sedan...it was dumped on coilovers, custom exhaust, 19" forged wheels, i mean the list goes on and on. Yet I sold it when the warranty was nearing the end and I got the scion. Yeah I miss the car time to time- it being a 'status' mobile but I really have loved the xb from day 1.
