1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had car two years and done 20k miles (now has 80k miles on it). Always had slight whine from diff. (not got worse) and rather clunky gearchange. Nothing actually gone wrong though. Just change the oils, plugs and filters.
General comments?
High fifth gear gives very economical and relaxed cruising - 35mpg. Never got less than 29mpg, even when driving 100% of time in town. Feels like 50mph when doing 90mph. Been very cheap to run. No rust, no leaks, no creaks or rattles. Everything lasts well. Definitely a very good car - would buy another.
