1989 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 300E review from North America
"A great car at a very good price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Antenna Failed.
General comments?
The car's transmission starts in 2nd gear under normal driving, but when the pedal is floored it starts in 1st gear, it will peel out and rocket from 0-60 in 8 sec flat.
The car handles very well in turns, the suspension is very smooth, however it gets a tad floaty on the highway. Overall it handles very well.

| 1987 - E-Class 300E 3.0L V6 177hp Will look great sitting in your driveway, since that's where it'll spend most of it's time |
