THEY DO NOT STAND behind their vehicle as one would expect from a manufacturer of a BRAND NEW Mini-Van. My last Dodge/Chrysler after 24 years of purchasing...as many of the family too. Employee or not discount or not...NO THANKS! We are going elsewhere. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Web reports/research states that oil consumption problem is not normal and one should worry about long term durability of the engine. Other research shows Daimler-Chrysler has overall quality and safety issues. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Extremely poor reliability expectations of virtually every component on the vehicle. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class
| Mercedes-Benz C-Class Brand Reputation: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2015 | Mercedes-Benz has been walking a tightrope. On the one hand, many people who thought nothing of buying an Audi or BMW couldn't quite see themselves in something so lofty as a Mercedes. On the other, attempts to counter such perceptions risked damaging the brand's equity. Despite some missteps over the past two decades, Mercedes-Benz has managed to avoid both Scylla and Carybdis. More people than ever perceive a Mercedes as a car they could own. Yet it retains more prestige among the general population than Audi and BMW. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review | |

Mercedes has always had a good brand reputation and an image of a car owned by sucessful individual. The C-Class pricing allows an individual of modest means to buy one new. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |
