1989 Mercedes-Benz 190 E review from North America
"An all-around great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much has gone wrong with this car.
The brakes squeak pretty bad even after just putting new brake pads on.
The car hasn't had any engine or major mechanical problems yet.
General comments?
This car is extremely bad in rain and snow. I lost control going around a turn at a very low speed in the rain once.
The seats adjust just about every way possible making it one of the most comfortable cars I've ever sat in.
This car is still a wonderful car even though it is over 10 years old. It rides very smooth and is easy and fun to drive.
