Julie starts her quest for facts with a google search online that takes her to a review from an online consumer magazine. What draws julie to this particular publication is its reputation for objectivity and frequency-of-repair charts, based on hundreds of thousands of reports from owners of the vehicles reviewed and unique to this magazine.

Making the mercedes the most costly to operate.
