1994 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 420 review from North America
"A fine example of German Engineering!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator failed at 129,000.
General comments?
The cornering on this car is unbelievable. Its as if all the wheels are turning at once.
The car flies on the freeway. It feels like the space shuttle when you accelerate.
The dealers are very helpful, but, the parts are a fortune by themselves.
The car shines like a gold ring and the interior is beautiful when clean.
This is the best car I have ever owned and will only sell it to someone who will take as much care of it as I have.
