1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E from UK and Ireland - Comments

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well, we're on 170k miles and I have done 40k in last 2 years. Rear differential replaced £300, all discs replaced, pattern fronts £9 each and whirring in airbox sorted, dodgy fan.

General comments?

Read the others and I don't know how performance can be given 8 and 9 out of 10. The car is a slug, but get it up to 85-90 and it cruises effortlessly. Quite juicy on petrol, especially when towing. Fantastically comfortable car, I don't think I will ever get rid of it. Recently had a Jag XJV8 2 months old for the weekend, a £50k car and I can genuinely say I was delighted to get back into my 190.

My 190e is a fantastic motor car. Owned it for 6 months now, and the only thing to go wrong is:exhaust blowing, and one day of overheating (due to lack of water).Have the auto version, with sports option. model 190e.Year 1990.

Your 190E seems slow because it is the 2.0L model. Yes, you are right if people wrongly rated 9 out of 10 for the 2.0L, but there are faster models, such as the 2.6L and the 2.3-16V models.
