1995 Mercedes-Benz W124 E320 review from North America
"Clean look, reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central Armrest (console) Hinge broke at 150000 km
Passenger front seat fwd/rwd adjuster broke at 150000 km
Muffler broke at 160000 km.
General comments?
Reliable
Feels tight (no rattles)
Tight turning radius (easy to park)
Impressive look, even for a low-end Mercedes.
Good heating in seats
A/C works well even at this mileage.
But...
Mileage is poor
Using anything lower than Premium makes mileage even worse.
Poor traction control in wet weather.
