1986 Mercedes-Benz 190 190E review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great luxury bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof driving cable needs replacement.
Had to replace alternator.
General comments?
This car is a dream to drive for its age.
It is not overpowered, but does very well both in the city and on the freeway.
Quite economic (10l/100km in the city)
Materials used inside are high quality. after 21 years the inside of my mercedes is close to pristine.
Very good paint job - still looking good for age.
It is very easy to get your hands on parts for the 190s as there are still so many around.
