1984 Mercedes-Benz W123 review from North America
"Fantastic I love it!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, the best car ever built!!!
General comments?
I can't get over the reliability and durability of these cars. It always starts right up and has never let me down. I think it's the perfect car for new drivers (not very fast and holds the road very well) very safe (I was rear ended by a Saturn and no damage, but some paint had to be scraped off, her front end damage and airbag needed to be repaired at a cost of more than twice my vehicles worth) Mercedes has made a loyalist out of me. THANK YOU.
