1983 Mercedes-Benz W123 280E review from Germany
"One of the best cars Mercedes has ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All things are very well, except the headlights which are not sufficient.
General comments?
Mercedes built this car very stable, the engine has more than enough power and the automatic changes the gears very softly. Fuel consumption is about 14 l per 100 km on average, not too much for the big engine and the weight of about 1500 kg of this car.
