My 1991 190e 4 cyclinder 2.3 litre is a dream. It may be considered a classic now in 2008, but I have had people mistake my sub-compact "Baby-Benz" as brand new. It still has a "showroom shine".

This little Mercedes has 230,000 miles on it and is still running strong, plus looking almost new, inside and out, as well as under the hood (bonnet to my Brit friends). It has the classic Mercedes elegance, unlike the new ones that look like a homogenized Lexus or something. Love this car and intend to keep it forever and a day.

A wonderful car! Mine is the injection model 190e with 1995 cc engine. It is white with black interior, and there is a light gray trim along the lower section of the car. A few year ago I had it converted to LPG, which makes it very lo cost to run! There is no loss of performance. I it has 160,000 miles on the clock and has had very few problems. I had new rear shockers on last year, and this year (2008) I am having a new steering box fitted. One of the few problems is that being very low on the ground, it doesn't like speed bumps. (who does)! I intend to keep it as long as I can. It is a great car, very comfortable and reliable. Apart from the Gas conversion, I intend ...  Read the complete review

The Mercedes Benz 190 is probably the best car that we have ever owned. My wife bought it in 1992, from her brother. It was registered in 1989 and is the carburretor model, with manual transmission. It is cream, with the lower trim panels painted a bronze colour - very attractive. It has black cloth interior. My brother-in-law was the second owner and it had 32,000 miles (genuine) on the clock when we bought it. It has now covered over 119,000 miles but is now (temporarily) off the road (see below) I have serviced it myself, but three repairs have been consigned to the local Mercedes Dealer - a new rear suspension bush, a new centre section for the ...  Read the complete review

By miles and miles the best car I have owned. God knows why I sold it (traded it) for the ordinary-by-comparison C-Class. The beast was black and beautiful. It's spec gave it the air of real luxury and there was something reverential about driving this road god from a to b. It was typical Merc: heavy, occasionally ponderous, fabulously comfortable and majestic. It is cars that this that got merc it's name of making the best cars in the world. They do, rivalled only by Lexus, but I made on e hell of a mistake selling ours. ...  Read the complete review
