1994 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 320 review from UK and Ireland

As I only have the car a few months I can't honestly say. but so far fan belt went. and 2 new tyres.

She doesn;t burn any oil, was well cared for by previous owner, but has a slight leak around the head. turned out to be a tapet. something I believe pretty common with this car. engine very reliable.

But she has a few bizzare gremlins. for example. when I put on full lights. the wipers come on and wipe twice. the same happens when I indicate right when fogs are on. some time windscreen washer are a bit lazy. but really these are all minor. compared to the 1998-2005 model.

Plan to keep this car a few years. as a hobby car. as she has plenty of life still. and no rust and full service history from day1.remember she is not japanese.!!! very comfortable to drive and travel in. but needs great care. power is fine. she is never under pressure. great on long runs. which I do 300-600 in a weekend. main reason I bought is the safety. evening though the design is now almost 20years old. I will see what she is like in a years time. what has failed and what has not. but generally engines and gearbox strong. pre 98. I thing the quality and materials used are far superior to later benz. one of the last good ones.

Have had 2 e class before and c class and new s. this is so much better.
