1992 Mercedes-Benz 190 E review from North America
"Awesome teenage ride!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission issues, although, this could be due to all sorts of reasons;
1. I suck at driving
2. My father has a problem with buying vehicles with problems or that are known for having them.
3 Being a teenager.
AC doesn't work anymore, and only one vent works for the heater.
Blown 2 tires in 4 months. Not really the car's fault, it's just an annoying thing for me.
Changed the stereo and two front speakers. Added 2 12" subs in the trunk over the summer and LOVE the bass. Although the trunk being right behind the back seats makes the sound distorted. So it's loud, but not defined, but I'm happy with that. It's enough to make 7-11's windows shake.
General comments?
I feel lucky to have owned this car at 18 years old. I get comments from older drivers on my car which is going on 15 years now. I bought this car from an old couple who didn't drive it all that much for a bargain! Only 2k! I even get comments from my friends on how 'pimp' my car is.
All in all: Awesome car, smooth ride, fun to ride/drive, head turner and it's a beast!
