Best car that I have ever owned
5 out of 5 starsChris Henderson, 11/08/2002
1991 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class 190E 2.6 4dr Sedan
I bought the car last month and sold my old 1979 300SD. The 190E 2.6 IS th
best driving car I have ever owned. Handling and acceleration are fine tuned
so that whether you want a quiet sunday drive or an exilerating country road
sporty drive you get it all. The design of this car is virtually timeless. I have
people ask me all the time if the car is a '98 or a 95. Anyone … considering a
190E 2.6 that is in good shape should buy it regardless of the mileage
because odometer numbers mean NOTHING to a BENZ.
Stole my heart!

1991 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class 190E 2.3 4dr Sedan
I purchased this vehicle with 174,000 miles. I have to admit the fact that it was a 5-speed (super rare), I was somewhat willing to accept all the risks that come with a high mileage car. But I have to say after 3K miles later, I've never been so love with a car before. Sure, it could be the upgraded suspension (H&R springs and Bilstien Sport shocks), not to mention the factory … Mercedes CLK wheels the previous owner added. It's just been a pleasure to drive. No, it does not have a 0-60 mind blowing time. But at higher speeds it will surprise you how capable she is. Just the combination of luxury, fuel economy, and spunk the 5speed tranny bring - very, very satisfied.

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.
one fine piece of metal

1991 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class 190E 2.3 4dr Sedan
My 190e has 242,000 miles on it. Runs like new. Very smooth ride, good acceleration even though it is a 4 cyl 2.3l. Fun to drive. I just love it. I owned Honda, BMW and Ford but I have to say that the 190e left them all behind. Just needs regular maintenance with quality parts and it will last you a life time. The only problem I faced lately was overheating because of a bad fan clutch … and that was a cheap job and never overheated again. I will definitely keep this car regardless of mileage.
