1986 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 300E review from North America
"Gotta get me another one of these!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noisy power steering pump at low speed ever since purchase date at 40969mls.Doors have to be closed hard to latch.
General comments?
The interior and exterior style of this car is beautiful!Low end performance is a bit on the sluggish side, but past 35mph this car will pin me into the seat. Freeway merging is not a teeth grinding experience like with a Volvo 740.Niether is braking when traffic stops for no apparent reason! In short, a very fun and comfortable ride.
