1992 Mercedes-Benz 190 Sportsline review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, refined subtle, elegance, with the handlering to surprise even the odd evo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, my brakes failed at 85mph, which was alarming, after jumping across a road I limped it home.
Also the water pump has blown so a new one of them has been fitted.
Naturally being a mercedes it has costed an arm and a leg. but apart form that it has been great, just normal wear like rubber, that might be due to the way a drive it though.
General comments?
This car is brilliant on the road, it is quite gutless, it is about as fast as a Zetec mondeo 1.8. But its the handling that's astonishing about this car, it is a scooby baiter.
It is very comfortable inside and well finished, especially with the sun roof, because its the sportsline it has been lowered by mercedes and has a list of extra's.
+ Wider track
+ Larger Wheels 205-55-15
+ Trim Around the car
+ Bucket seats
+ Sports gearknob.
