1976 Mercedes-Benz W115 300D review from North America
"The best car Mercedes ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission has started to shift a little rough on occasion.
General comments?
This car is an incredible piece of work. A pleasure to drive, accelerates very quickly, and is in excellent condition. The car handles like a sports car and has an incredible turning radius.
The car is built like a tank, and is arguably the best design Mercedes styled for a 4 door sedan.
