1990 Mercedes-Benz W124 230e review from Australia and New Zealand
"Simply the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic transmission brake band broke.
Ignition lock broke.
General comments?
The best car I've ever driven.
Very comfortable, especially the seats.
Very little noise.
However I find the motor a bit gutless, but very impressive for a 2.3 liter still.
