1990 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class 190E 2.6 4dr Sedan
This is my first car, after driving trying
many cars, even a couple years old
Mercede's, and of course the
American cars (all worthless cars),
the 190E was the one for me, fits me
perfectly, gets me from point A to
point B in style and unbelievably fast,
a lot of critics claimed this car was
under-powered, I strongly disagree,
this car is old, but still in style and …
looks new after all these years.

All-Around Better Than You'd Expect
Rick Ambrose, 10/04/2009
1990 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class 190E 2.6 4dr Sedan
The car is actually a 1987 190e 2.6 with power seat/headrests and ABS. I have driven this car 3000 miles since purchase and I have to say that of all 40 cars I've ever owned - this Baby Benz gets the award for best all-around automobile. It's comfortable, quiet, economical on the gas, roomy and has tons of trunk space. The 170hp engine never fails to surprise!. The car simply does … everything better than you would expect. At 23 years old, it feels and drives like it's brand new - a testament to the build quality of Mercedes Benz.

Wonderful little car
StanQ, 08/11/2003
1990 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class 190E 2.6 4dr Sedan
When a relative (the proverbial little
old lady) gave us this car last year,
it had 15,000 miles on it. Now it has
25,000 and is still in flawless
condition. It is the perfect size for a
small family sedan, but not big enough
for long trips with more than 2 people.
I would have thought the gas mileage
would be a little better. 20 mpg is all
she gets, and premium fuel is … required.
Edmunds tells me the trade-in value of
this car is $3,500! If I could find 10
of these cars, with 25,000 miles or
less, in cherry condition I would buy
them all.

Very Happy with my 190
Jake1, 10/07/2002
1990 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class 190E 2.6 4dr Sedan
This is my second 190. Had the 2.3 but
moved into the 2.6 10 years ago. What a
difference! The 190 2.6 is a mimi
560SEL. Have made intermitent
replacements (i.e. radiator/O2
sensor/altenator/shocks) but it still
is a strong car. Would not hesitate to
drive it cross country and back
tomorrow..12 years old and 207k miles!
The last model of the realiable "Baby …
Benz"!
