IMO any electric car - which has far fewer moving parts compared to an ICE car, would be more reliable and logical to own. Survey does not show the type of problems cars can have, and often the devil is in the details. For example the MB is rated middle of the pack, but I would stay away from them expect for a couple of tried and true models. Any repair on a german car (MB, Audi, BMW) would cost your an arm and a leg and not to mention the debt of regret served on the side
