1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 190E Cosworth review from UK and Ireland
"Class engineering"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leaked.
General comments?
The 190E 2.5-16v has a great feel-good factor.
It performs really well when you stamp on the pedal to the metal.
When I bought the car, I was stunned by it's corning ability. The guy selling the car through it round a corner in the wet and it didn't even lose it's back end.
