1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Avantgarde review from UK and Ireland
"Toyota E320"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car in the short time I have owned it.
General comments?
Received the car in good faith in 1999.
Quality has dropped right down.
Japanese cost-cutting affected the marque appallingly.
Performance fairly good.
Looks attractive.
Strength of build not there.
Buy a BMW (or a pre-'94).
Mercedes needs to concentrate as well as profligate.
