The sprinter is massively over-hyped by people who've never owned one.

Yeah, everything about it is "solid". The longblock will theoretically go a million miles but you're gonna replace every part around it to get it there. I'm sure they're fine when new but as they age it's basically the same "replacing way too much BS because while nice it's over engineered" as the rest of german car ownership.
