1996 Mercedes-Benz W124 200E review from UK and Ireland
"A reliable refined estate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Auto aerial failure.
Drivers window stuck in up position.
Screen cracked to be replaced next month.
General comments?
Very reliable & roomy (7 seater).
Fuel consumption is high, but my heavy right foot doesn't help; 23/24 mpg, 90 miles a day, 50 of them on the motorway.
Interior sparse but functional (Avantgarde model).
Relaxing and refined to drive, a great motorway cruiser.
Running costs are cheap so long as main dealers are not involved.
Cannot fault the car for the price paid; 2.5K, full Mercedes service history, and I would recommend to all.
