And this one holds a great record,guess thats why 90% of greek taxis are mercedes.

4.6 million kilometers: new record
A Greek taxi driver, Gregorios Sachinides, presented the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart with his trusty cab - a 1976 Mercedes 240D diesel with 4.6 million kilometres on the clock.

The Volvo is gone. I loved the car but lately there were too much engine problems and it was getting noisy too. Volvo's are great cars but the engine doesn't come close to the mercedes engine. The Volvo reached 403,000km. Some Mercedeses in our garage have over 600,000km and are still running smoothly.
My new car is not a Mercedes though, it's a Ford S-Max and i love every bit of it! Nice design, comfortable seats and smooth to drive.

Actually I drove one of those yesterday. I liked the car except for one thing: the gearbox. It felt very low quality and wasn't smooth at all.
