Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate 300 TE-24 5d Auto (1990/H) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
For the same money as a smoky K-plate MPV, I got leather, cruise control, electric everything and the three pointed star. That's value.
Costs
Some parts (body) are cheap some are not (engine).
-
On the road
Driving
Handles better than a 12 year old big estate has any right to!
Performance
0-60mph in mid 7 seconds. Awsome midrange. 230+bhp and no Cat.
-
Living with it
Reliability
I've had a few issues, but at 150k miles I suppose that's due.
Comfort
Seats not as comfy as my old 820 Rover, but then again I have long legs.
-
Security and Service
Security
Ok for age. Local kids tend to go for hot hatches, not big brown estates.
Service
Mixed.
