Mercedes-Benz 190 Series 190E 2.0 4d (1989/F) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cost me less than a grand and still works beautifully.
Costs
Not bad. Had no major problems in over a year. Dealers can be horrendously expensive, look for breakers/salvage for parts.

On the road
Driving
Nice and smooth, almost silent in first gear.
Performance
Nice acceration and speed. Feels slightly underpowered 0-60mph.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down to date.
Image
Can depend on colour and bodykit, but still looks like one of the best cars on the road.
Comfort
Nice for a car its age.

Security
Had a thatcham 1 alarm fitted - just in case, but no problems.
