1992 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 300 E review from North America
"The best overall Mercedes with the exception of the new 2003 E-Class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tumbler had to be replaced on this one and my 1989 300E. Other than that nothing.
General comments?
I feel that the W124 300E is a complete package. Classy looks, solid build, prestigious history, great performance, great ride. This car was definitely built to cruise the Autobahn.
I had an 1989 300E that I gave to my brother. It was mint, but I wanted the updated looks of the interior/exterior of the 1992. Mine has the 8 spoke wheels which make it look sporty.
I long for a 500E/E500! An all alloy V8 that weighs only 18lbs more than the cast iron I6 with suspension and brakes by Porsche.
